We are very excited to share these news. In February we will take part of the annual Cross-Linx Festival in The Netherlands together with The National and Owen Pallett. The festival takes place in concert halls in 4 different cities (Utrect, Eindhoven, Groningen & Rotterdam) and one of their objectives is to let the alternative rock scene cross with the classical scene.

Therefore we have been invited to create a very special orchestra for these four concerts. We will be 16 musicians on stage plus our new friend Daniel Bjarnason (Bedroom Community) who will conduct and also do the arrangements for this special concert. It is too early for us to share all the details, but we can let you know that our band for these 4 shows will include a saxophone quartet!

The tickets go on sale tomorrow (Saturday) and if you would like the chance to attend one of these unique Efterklang concerts then we recommend you to book tickets fast. As mentioned the line-up include our good friends from The National and also Owen Pallett who is equally brilliant! Its gonna sell out and most likely very fast!

New American band Buke And Gass will support us on the entire tour and we look forward to get to know them – we already love their music!

We will be touring as a 7-piece. It will be the four of us and then Heather Broderick on piano, Peter Broderick on violin + more and Daniel James of Canon Blue on guitar. We are thrilled to welcome back both Peter and Daniel to the live band. It´s been a while since we had the pleasure of playing with them.

To celebrate the beginning of the tour we are giving away a free REMIX MP3. It is a remix of Alike made by Opiate aka Thomas Knak. We love all his work and we love this remix! Take a listen!

First of all thanks to everyone who came out to this year’s concerts so far. We had two really good tours around North America and Europe and just now we are taking a short break before our summer tour starts on June 19th.

The upcoming summer tour holds 23 new Efterklang concerts and we look forward to all of them, but some of them makes us really excited! For example the two Performing Parades concerts in Amsterdam and Stockholm (more info here). We are also excited about our concert in Northern Norway north of the Arctic Circle in the midnight sun! Playing with Grizzly Bear in Hyde Park in London will also be special and then there are all the really great festivals. Roskilde, Benicassim, Green Man, Off, Haldern Pop and many more! For the Traumzeit Festival in Duisburg we will be playing live with a local fraction of the Efterkids project which will be fun as well.

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.

14.04 – Århus, DK / Voxhall / w. The Late Great Fitzcarraldos / Tickets
15.04 – Aalborg, DK / Studenterhuset / w. The Late Great Fitzcarraldos / Tickets
16.04 – Göteborg, SE / Trädgårn / w. The Late Great Fitzcarraldos / Tickets
17.04 – Copenhagen, DK / Store VEGA / w. The Late Great Fitzcarraldos / Tickets

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!!

21.04 – London, UK / Shepherds Bush Empire / support: Heather Broderick & Esben and the Witch / Tickets

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. Check them and their new album and tour out here: www.slaraffenland.net.

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.
