Oh, not tired...

How wonderful. Things like a trip to Hamburg (with the Tempo gang) with drinks and dancing + rehearsals Monday and Tuesday tend to wear you down. But today I'm in pretty good shape again, yay. Here's a photo from the ferry, btw (I so need a haircut):



And thanks very much to Tjit Tjat and The Janglebox! And now, more rehearsing :-).

Monte Carlo...

The EP's up and running :-). On Bandcamp, Klicktrack and gogoyoko (and iTunes coming soonish).

And thanks to Escapology for the very kind words too!

And now? Coffee in the sun!

A cover story...

Well, here it is, the EP cover. It was done by brilliant French guy, Tristan Dupuis, who's got this site:

But there's actually a story behind the drawing. See, the thing is that Mikkel and I met the girl on the left (Héloise) the very day we decided that we'd have to make two bands. It happened at the Psyched Up Janis reunion concert in Øksnehallen, where the beer was free and everybody was happy, so after a long talk I thought "yeah, well, I'll sing in a band just to make Mikkel shut up and who cares about stage fright anyway". Then a couple of months later our friend Jeff, Mikkel and yours truly threw a party at Jeff's place. We invited everyone we knew and Héloise and her cousin (Diane, the girl on the right) were among those who turned up. And since the themes were: Watching Spinal Tap, eating tapas and having loads of drinks, it ended up being a very lovely evening. And this picture was taken:



So you see, everything's sorta connected in a rather good way. On a slightly different note, I actually wrote the first Boombox song that I was really happy about ("Extras, when you're ready, please") the day after the party (and it was amazingly easy to do, despite the most massive hangover in recent years :-)).

For good old times' sake

Yup. Cool Dutch iPad magazine, Odd, used this old ONBC JAMC-cover in their first issue:



Gotta love that! And Easter Holidays, gotta love'em too! I'm thinking I'm just gonna continue the relaxing / reading / doing-nothing-bit I started Saturday :-).

Thank you!

Yes. A huge thank you to all the very nice bloggers who wrote about us: CAPAC, Chaotisch Und Charmant, Cover Me, Crossfader Network, Hits In The Car, It's a Trap, Radio Altanoche, Slowcoustic & The Cover Lovers.

Thumbs up for posting it here too:



And thanks to the lovely audience yesterday at Kaffebaren, we had a very, very, very nice afternoon! There'll be more info about coming concerts soonish, but for one thing we'll be warming up for The Cave Singers on Loppen, June 2nd, yay!

And now, Easter Holidays and the South of Jutland, yay again!

Awwww...(part four)

bakers at dawn / stark / love it!

False Start...

I received this promo mail from Seattle-based Echo Tongues the other day (one of the cool things about having a band blog). I was too busy to check the link at the time, but yesterday I did and oh yeah! Keywords? Well, minimal-twee (if that's a term, if not then I just invented it), gentle lo-fi and shoegaze. And since I'm a sucker for all of the above, it's very much recommended! And the EP is for free right over here, so I'm suggesting that you go get it :-).

Apart from that? Not much, I seem to work a lot and send a lot of promo mails myself, but tonight I'm gonna relax and write some lyrics or something. Or perhaps continue the crap novel I'm reading at the moment. Or something else.
