Extra (Bombastic) Parades Concert in Copenhagen added!!!

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Hi all

As some of you already know, we’re right now preparing the most ambitious Efterklang concert ever and about to fulfill one of our biggest dreams!

On September 26th, 8PM we’ll be playing our latest album Parades in concert, from start till end, together with The Danish National Chamber Orchestra (DR UnderholdningsOrkestret) in the newly build DR Byen (National danish Radio/TV town) in Copenhagen, DK.

This will for the first time ever turn Efterklang into a 60 piece band for an exclusive performance! Read more here (english) and here (in danish)

We’ve just been informed that the tickets are selling fast… Therefore it’s been decided to add one extra show! The second concert will take place on the same date and spot just at 10PM (first one at 8PM)

This will certainly be a very special evening for us, and we hope share it with you!!!

Much Love from all of us
Casper

Our very first Theatre Music Premieres on Saturday in Copenhagen!

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Hi all people of Copenhagen

Lately, we’ve been working on our very first theatre music. The play is called En Plads i mit Hjerte (a place in my heart), and we’ve composed all the music in the play. The premiere will take place on Saturday, September 23rd (the first couple of evenings are sold out though) and most days until September 20th on K1 (Kaleidoskop, Nørrebro).

We’re all extremely happy with both the process and result. It’s been very inspiring entering this art form for the first time. We’ve been given a lot of space to play with, by the whole fantastic team around this project, so we couldn’t have dreamt of a better debut than this…

If you have the chance, we recommend you (and your friends) to go see it! It’s all in danish but the acting and music are universal:)

Much love from all of us
Casper

Our first Acoustic Video Session is now Online!

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

The sweet blog-folks from Le Cargo ask us to do an acoustic version of one of our songs (blogotheque style), earlier this year at the Dour Festival, BE. We chose to do Mirador, and it was so much fun!!! Enjoy yourself:)

Rumraket site updates including new video and song

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I´ve just spend my entire evening updating and fixing Rumraket´s Myspace page. It is fully up to date now as it should be. Among many improvements I have added a new song (a remix by Turboweekend) from the upcoming Canon Blue single and also a new Canon Blue video for Battle Hymn.

Go have a look and a listen right here: RUMRAKET at MYSPACE
Soon we will also have news about a lot of Rumraket concerts in Denmark!!

P.S. for the Efterklang newbies who might be reading this - Rumraket is a record label that we run and it is full of good music.
