Hello sweet people!

We start our European tour in Olso on Monday April 5th and we would like to use this post to shine a light on some of the different bands that will be supporting us on this 31 concert long tour.

Lets start with one of our absolute favorite new Danish bands! They are called The Late Great Fitzcarraldos (http://myspace.com/thelategreatfitzcarraldos) and they will support our Danish tour (+ Gothenburg). They are incredible and we can´t wait to play live with them.

We have a list of wonderful names playing with us over the next 6 weeks on our European Tour. Our piano player Heather Woods Broderick (myspace.com/woodsmusical) has a superb solo album out and she will be supporting the majority of the concerts.

On some occasions, like the tour start in Oslo, our guitarist Frederik Teige will be the support act. Frederik recently finished his solo album and it is powerful and beautiful – do check him out here: myspace.com/frederikteige.

Another band we recently have fallen in love with is Esben and the Witch from Brighton, England (myspace.com/esbenandthewitch). They will support our concert in London on April 21st. We look forward to that!!

Finally we are happy to say that our good friends in Slaraffenland will be supporting four of our concerts in April. They are on their own European tour, but these four dates matched with our schedule and we look forward to play with them. It will be fun as always.

The Soft Beating – A Road Doc

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Last year March 2009 Efterklang toured the US road testing songs for our Magic Chairs album. Our good friend and Danish music journalist Ralf Christensen followed us around the last week of the tour and managed to capture us performing our song The Soft Beating in a about a 100 different ways. You can see his wonderful edit of all these performances in this new video.

As Im sure you know already we are in fact also touring the US right now. Concerts can be found here: www.efterklang.net/home/concerts

Also in case you haven’t seen our 4AD Session yet, then here is a second chance. We are very proud of this one.

Greetings from America!!!!!!!!

North American Tour NOW! and ups and downs!

Monday, March 1st, 2010

This Tuesday (March 2nd) we start our North American Tour in Philadelphia. We are super excited about this, but we got a rough start to this new adventure.

First off, Balmorhea (our support band for the North American tour) had to cancel all their concerts due to a family emergency.

On top of that our dear Peter Broderick (who plays violin and much more in our live band) also had to cancel this tour, due to a knee surgery that isn´t healing properly. We will miss Peter a lot and hope he will recover soon – send him and Balmorhea som love.

NORTH AMERICAN TOUR!!
Despite the sad news we have decided to play this tour and we are eager to play for you all! We have been waiting a long time for Magic Chairs to be released and we hope and believe the tour will be great! For now we will perform as a 6-piece and then hopefully Peter will be able to return soon.

New support bands have been announced for all dates and we will hook up with good friends like Sam Amidon and Volcano! along the way.
