We have just announced two more dates for our final Magic Chairs Tour in February and March. March 1st we will play in Brussels at Botanique and then we will end the tour with a big homecoming concert in Copenhagen on March 18th at Amager Bio.

Our last Magic Chairs Tour holds 27 concerts and once it is over we will take a long break from touring. In fact we plan not to play a single concert before we have finished our 4th album sometime in the far future. With this tour we will finish almost 3,5 years of non stop touring and it has been an adventure. An incredible adventure.

01.03.2011 – Brussels, BE / Botanique /
18.03.2011 – Copenhagen, DK / Amager Bio / tickets on sale Dec 9th

This week we play three concerts in Belgium (and one in Istanbul) and for the concert in Brussels we are happy to announce that we will be joined by 6 local Efterkids!

Efterkids is our attempt to raise awareness for the need for free music education in schools. It also works as a project that makes it possible for us to collaborate with kids across the globe in real life on stages but also online via the course material available at www.efterkids.com

For the concert at AB (Ancience Belgique) on Wednesday Yumika Lecluyze who teaches at the music school of Sint Agatha Berchem will bring 6 of her students who has been rehearsing on the string parts for Natural Tune and Full Moon the last couple of weeks. We look forward to meet the kids and play music with them. We don’t know their names yet, but we know that they are 8,10 and 11 years old and that Yumika teaches them after the Suzuki Method.

This is a list of the concerts we are playing this week:

Three months ago in August we met up with our friend and French filmmaker Vincent Moon on an island in the Danish country side. The objective was to shoot a film. A film with the same length as an album and a film full of performances, experiments and collaborations.

We were there with our 8-piece live band featuring Niklas Antonson (Slaraffenland), Heather Broderick, Peter Broderick and Frederik Teige. Over an intense period of 4 days we managed to collaborate with more than 200 local musicians, kids and parents.

Today we are able to present the very first teaser of this film and we can also let you know that the film will premiere in February 2011.

We value An Island as much as we value our albums. We consider it one of the finest projects we have ever been involved in and can’t wait to share it with you.

Please enjoy the teaser below

Tomorrow we start a new tour in Europe and to kick this off and same time honor the previous tour in North America a month back we want to share this video with you.

It is sort of a “best of” or a summary of our CHORDS project. When we toured North America in September and October 2010 we filmed a CHORD everyday and posted it to our photo blog on Flickr. The video we want you to watch now today contains snippets of each chord.

The project worked as an alternative tour diary and was developed on the go. It features guest stars, singing water taps, audiences, random strangers, helicopters, Harley’s and lots more.

You can watch the entire collection of CHORDS here!
