We had a splendid evening yesterday! After a 20 hour drive from Agen in south France, we just exactly made it to the Danish Music Award show in Tivoli, Copenhagen. And not only did we make it to the show, we actually made it all the way up to the podium, which we’ve never tried before (last time our parents step in for us), what a treat and glamorous moment! With us home, we brought 2 statues in the categories “best electronica album” and “best artwork” (congratulations & big thanks Nan Na Hvass & UFEX); fantastic!!!

We are happy to announce 14 more European Efterklang concerts. Right now we are touring central Europe and starting March 26th we will prolong this tour with headlining tours in England, Ireland, France and The Netherlands. All info about the new concerts can be found further down in this post. In total we will do more than 70 shows this year before the summer arrives so there is still a great deal of shows to announce later on. Stay tuned!

The new shows will also be as an 8-piece band. The line-up will include Anna Brønsted, whose solo act Our Broken Garden, will perform as support for many of the shows. A great deal of the concerts will also have support by Peter Broderick, another member of the Efterklang live-band.

Currently we are touring the Swiss Alps and we have to admit it is very inspiring for us! In fact it looks like we are going through some form of identity change - some might say crisis. How serious this change is, is hard to say, but have a look at the two photos at the end of this post. First one shows the Efterklang live band two weeks ago in Leipzig and the other one is taken yesterday in the Swiss alps. It might be a temporary identity crisis, it might be a permanent one - Only time will show.

Greetings from alpenland!
And before we say goodbye let us also tell you that soon we will release Caravan, a new 7″ single and there will be a very explosive video by Anders Morgenthaler to follow that release!

xoxo

What is going on?

Yesterday, was such a blast here in Zürich. We played at an amazing venue (Rote Fabrik) just next to the water, and the audience were so wonderful. what a night you gave us; many thanks!!!

During this week we’ll play 4 more concerts here in Switzerland:

(more European dates here)

Hope to see you there!

LOVE!! that is the feeling inside all of us! We can thank the audiences in Berlin, Leipzig, Münster, Dresden and Vienna for this!

We have a hard time remembering when we have received such positive and loud responses to our shows as we did on these last 5 ones! Besides a show in Berlin 3 years ago this was our first tour in Germany and Austria and we can´t wait to come back again!! Danke Schön!!

and now for some sad news: Right now we are in Italy. The show in Florence (February 8th) has been cancelled. The venue has been closed and there is not time enough to find a new one. We are still playing Miano, Rome and Ravenna!

We won our first 3 awards! YAY! Steppeulven is an annual award show arranged by the music critics in Denmark. We won Best Album, Best Group and Best Composers!

We were not there to receive the prices as we are touring these days (see below) - so all our parents accepted the prices on our behalf! Thank you moms and dads! Also thank you to all the Danish critics for liking our music!

So far this new European tour is AMAZING!!!!
We have played for about 1000 people so far in 3 shows and we are very happy!!

Especially the show in Leipzig was incredible! Check this video of the audience singing the outro of Chapter 6.

EFTERKLANG ON TOUR!
