Second weekend of touring!
Good times are definitely here to stay! We have had the most fantastic row of concerts last week. Thank you so much to all of the people that contributed to this: Audience, volunteers, working and friends.
Hereby follows a few highlights (in no particular order):
! If you have photos of any of this, please send us a mail !
- Hjørring
Never in our lives had we imagined that we would experience such an adventure at this end of the country! Thank you so much Syssel!
- Party all night
Asbjørn went to bed at 8.30 a.m. on the first night. Finally a little rock ‘n’ roll spirit in this band. - Sugar daddy’s new ride
Sound-dude Laurits got him self a new car this weekend! Opel Senator 3.0 with digital dashboard! Beat that sucker!
- Mother’s homemade pizza
The fantastic organizer from Hjørring had actually persuaded his mother to make homemade pizza and lasagne to us! Catering on a whole new level. - Wrong dressing!!
At shit o’ clock we stopped for a hotdog on the way home from Roskilde. Jon was convinced that the man at the gas station was a serial killer, but nonthe less he could deliver the pig. Sadly Martin got sour cream in stead of ketchup and became so angry that he crushed his hotdog to the ground. Pig and sour cream ALL OVER! - Death by stick
During the show in Roskilde, Jon hit himself so hard in the head with the drumstick, so that he almost passed out! - Flod
If you have not already done so, then go and check out the band Flod! This is the future of post-rock. - VHS
Both Gimle and Kulisselageret offer the opportunity to watch VHS movies in the band room. “Blood Sport” and “The Cable Guy” just makes a great evening even better. - Whisky and ‘Kolde jomfruer’
Ingen af anden rundes venues nægtede os alkohol! Tværtimod! “What the FUCK, maaan” – jersey style! - Snævar
Dad truly rocks!

We are very proud to present the bands we will be playing with. Some of them are our good friends, some of them we have not yet experienced ourselves. But all of them are of high quality, and represent musical substance, no doubt about that!
