Number One Hundred – and the last Blog from me?

On By boandresenIn christiania, Concerts events, Jazz festival1 Comment

I have reached the end of the journey with making this Blog. I realise that I have lost the energy, and its time to continue with new Projects . That it became blog number 100 is absolutely an coincidence. I just counted and found out that this is the hundred. I don’t know if I will be starting up again later, so lets call this a break. I am just moving my priorities to something else. Thank you for following so far. I hope you have enjoyed and that this has opened up for some new experiences.

See you out on the Dancefloor – in the real world.

Movies

There is a couple of places where you can watch free movies in Copenhagen. Unfortunately both are on wendesday. Right next to my doorstep is Urban 13 in a red box under the freeway Bispebuen. They are showing both documentarys and Feature films and there is an introduction in English. Reminds me of the time I was in charge of the cinema in Ungdomshuset Jagtvej. Its warm and cozy and there are bar open. https://www.facebook.com/events/177105680193576/
The other place is at The Cathedral Vor Frue Kirke in Nørregade. They are not announcing the program, but you can lie down on fatboys an watch it on a big screen. https://www.facebook.com/events/1011788159206648/

Fastelavn
When you see a kid in your neighbourhood running around and looking like some princess, or Superhero or something else then its because its fastelavn. Danish Carnival, but without the samba. There is also a competition about Beating the cat out of the barrel. In the good old days it was a real cat (Black like the devil), but these days we are Barbaric in other ways, so we fill it with candy. On Sunday there are loads of Fastelavn party’s all over. The normal one at Ungdomshuset is somehow cancelled

Prepare for four days of a sexy, punk, heart warming and political stage art explosion when Feral festival hits Copenhagen in week 7.

Support the small venues

On By boandresenIn christiania, Concerts eventsLeave a comment

I prefer concerts in small venues rather then the big arena concerts, with world brand bands. In the small places You are much closer to the stage and the performers, than sitting ½ a mile away and watch everything on a screen. And generally speaking I prefer to stand up at a concert. If you cant dance, its not my kind of place.
Another thing is the prices of the big concerts. It often cost 6-700 kr. and going up to 1000 kr. for a ticket. I would think it would be cheaper, when there are more people? If you are selling 10.000 or 45.000 tickets then it should be cheaper than the 120 tickets they are selling at a small venue. In the small places it cost 50 – 100 kr. I know there is a lot of crew and the show is bigger, and there is more security at the Arena concerts – But where is the money going? Into the pockets of Live Nation, who are the worst concert maker.
So you wont find me at Parken or Royal Arena. No matter who is playing. There are many reasons to find a smaller place. The beer is both better and cheaper. Halleluja and praise the Beer.

Cinema
If you are feeling board back home in your sofa, its possible to get some inspiration about what to do about it. Nordic Adventure Film Festival (Naff) is taking place in Cinemateket, and shows a whole bunch of movies. Then you can go out and do something yourself. You Live in Denmark. Another life is possible.

Live Music

Wednesday 20th

For some completely different and very authentic you can take a trip to traditional India with Lakha Khan from Rajestan. Its at Alice in Nørrebro.

Thursday 21st
Some smooth Brazilian dancing at Alice. Kassin are mixing all the genres of Brazil and just have that special unique sound from Rio de Janeiro. A warm dancing evening.

Today I put on my Gloves for the first time of the season. Its nice and feels good, put also sad that it´s already necessary. I look forward to the cosy indoor with Hot Chocolate, Candles and talking with friends.

Its the start of the month, and we can spend all our money. ❤ . But it seems like a bit boring start. Here are my humble suggestions, for what to hear, and where to go.

Science

All Black Hole nerds, can join the Science and Cocktails that have moved to The Grey Hall in Christiania. The events have been way to popular for a long time, so now they need a bigger stage, and The Grey Hall was the answer. Check it out. Its both intelligent and dumb. https://www.facebook.com/events/384532755553385/

Live music

Thursday 3rd October
There is a new kid in Town!!! Urban 13 is placed under the Brutalistic Bispebuen, and is a new concert and party place. They have built a concert room, so you are not outside in the cold, and it has a raw atmosphere that is not found any other place in DK. WhoMadeWho are performing with Electro Pop Rock Indie something… I am living next door, so I will show up and party with you.

If you are into old school Psych, go for Astrohatch with Guitarist Claus Bøhling. He has been in the game since the 1960 in legendary Danish bands Secret Oyster and Hurdy Gurdy. It comes with a light show, and is presented at Loppen. The perfect place for a concert like this.

Bogfinkevej are from Aarhus, and are the new Danish Lyrics Rap band. They have performed on Festivals and sold out concerts at Vega and Voxhall. Now they are at Pumpehuset.

Bring your Granny for the Grindcore family weekend in Ungeren D61. Its fast and furious on the two Days festival at Dortheavej. And remember ear plugs and cash.

Los Fuegos is an explosive blend of Cumbia, Balkan, Reggae and Rock. So get your dance wear on, and find your cash to go to Operaen at Christiania.

Bisse is playing at Hotel Cecil, with his poetic society commenting Danish lyrics. It should be with an inspiration from Country, an this is an extra concert. The first one was sold out.

You can join your inner movie with Italian Chromatics. They have delivered soundtracks to numerous films, where Drive by Nicolai Refn stands out for us Danes. The Synth – pop – Dystopian universe, can be seen at Store Vega.

Saturday 5th
Speaker Bite Me are the best Danish indie band, and are the darlings of the 1990´s I saw them at this years Roskilde Festival, and they are still delivering fantastic music. The stage at Pumpehuset is perfect for this event.

It will get groovy at Loppen when Cuban Born, Danish based Eliel Lazo and the Cuban Funk Machine will make the Dance Floor electric with the most funky music you can think of. Just what you need here in the cold Oktober.

Brazilian Electronic music with a touch of street fight from the Sao Paulo Underground. The Performances are going to the limit with Teto Preto at Alice.

For followers of Icelandic music, head for Stengade. There are three bands playing and its all sort of electronic 1980´s sound. Both Pop and more atmospheric.

Lone Hørslev is a spoken words performer and auteur. She has been on the road with different musicians and this time its Jesper Meclenburg who are putting the music up the lyrics. A nice evening at Hotel Cecil.

Sunday 6th
Stengade has more Icelandic, but this time its Black Metal. They must be having plenty of time in long dark winters up there.

For the real heavy blues-like Rock, go for EYEHATEGOD in Lille Vega. They have been playing for 30 years, but many Drugs, Deaths, Depressions and Destroys have had an impact. Therefore it is a miracle that you can hear them here today.

Tuesday 8th
Are you not feeling stoned enough? In need of some more stoner music? Go for Stengade, and The Machine from the Netherlands. They are bringing with them Samavayo from Germany, and local The Sledge are warming you up.

Back in 2008, after 1½ years of constant demonstrations, Ungdomshuset opened up again in September. And that is to be celebrated, so this weekend it starts with a Galla dinner on Thursday, and Friday and Saturday there are concerts both at Dødsmaskinen and in Salen.

For some happy danceable Pop Rock Loppen is the place. Tacocats from Seattle are here, with something that reminds me of good old Junior Senior. Supported by Twen also from the US. Very Indie like.

Electronics of the 1970´s with self-built instruments, and inspiration from Kraftwerk and tangerine dreams. At Alice you are finding Apparat Organ Quartet from Iceland. It moves into danceable rhythms , And sounds good. Supported by Triple x SNAXXX, who are doing more of the same stuff.

Stengade has a visit from Norwegian Death Metal band Blood Red Throne. They are still going strong after 21 years as a band, so this is your change to do some head banging. Another Dead metal band are supporting. Skanderborg are sending wayward Dawn.

Red Warszawa are performing at Amagerbio, with another of their Crazy Shows. Its really entertaining, so why don´t go? Supported by Vrävarna and Demolizer.

Fastpoholmen is a Danish / Swedish Folk-Reggae-World band. They are really putting up some sweatier concerts, and I like them in a smaller venue than Store Vega. But maybe they have just grown to big for the smaller clubs. Check them out. They are getting better and better.

For some ethnic Hip Hop with world rhythms head for Alice. From Ecuador comes Kingman, who has been living most of his life in the Amazonas Jungle. If you want to move your feet and your hips, this is where you should go.

This week Loppen are apparently only taking non European Indie bands in. This Saturday it is Australia, who are delivering. The Stroppies are from Melbourne, and are on there first tour, after releasing there first album. So they are a new hope for the future. Holm are a local support band.

Halshug is one of the best new metal bands. Since Debut in 2012 they have become more mature , and have slowed down a bit, but are playing just as loud. On the tour they have come to Stengade , and are supported by Deformation, who are more like Hard Core Punk.

Hello Sister ! Hej Søster is a Concert in Vega, taking initiative for bringing more women into Music. Falullah has invited Marie Key, Soleima, Nelson Can among other for this one day festival in Vega. And they are right! WE NEED MORE WOMEN IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS.

Sunday 15th

On Sunday, a Half Marathon Race are taking over the Streets of Copenhagen. But since the roads are closed anyway, Nørrebrogade are making a day of street party’s. And there is a party at Den Røde Plads. So loads of entertainment on your Sunday.

Tuesday 17th

Mystery Lights are said to be one of the best Garage rock bands right now. Listening to them, I have difficulties in hearing the garage part of it, but it sounds interesting like Kinks and a bit of psych. Good guitar work and old School organs. Supported by DYGL, which is Japanese, and more of the same kind. It might be an interesting Tuesday evening at Loppen.

Samba from Hell? Satanique Samba Trio, are at Alice, and are performing Alternative, Experimental Free Jazz samba for your poor ears. And its a 5 piece trio from Brazil. But the name stuck.

Wednesday 18th

Most people – and Clubs – move the birthday to the next weekend. But not in Stengade. Its Wednesday the 18th so why not celebrate with a couple of Australian rock bands. Anyway here are DZ Deathrays and Press Club, all the way from Down Under. Listening to the two hard rock Bands, I think Press club is the best. For 9.99 kr in the entry, this must be the best value for the money of this week.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STENGADE !!!
