Erik Levander will be the 1st support when we play at Lido in Berlin tomorrow!

Doors open at 8 - Erik Levander plays at 8.40pm - then follows Peter Broderick at 9pm and then Efterklang around 9:45pm. This is Tuesday September 2nd by the way!

Erik Levander released his second album Kondens on our label Rumraket in March and it comes highly recommended!

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

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

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:)

ps. Also we would like thank all the people who made it to our shows earlier this week with The National. We had such an incredible time, and the guys from the band are just as lovely and fantastic in persons as they sound!

Just wanted to let you know, that a couple of us did a video interview for uncensoredinterview.com in New York earlier this year. It is now all online here:

the very best to all of you

ps. please bear with our slightly drunken attitude. Booze and touring make (some) people talk:)

During the wonderful Supersonic Festival in Birmingham a couple of weeks back we did an interview to a girl called Katherine. She asked us to give her and her boyfriend Michael’s new little girl kitten a name. As we only have one girl in our band; Anna and she’s a sweetheart, it felt natural to pass her name along to this little wonder…

Isn’t she lovely?

This is what Michael told us about about Anna:

“We found her on our doorstep one day and took her in from the rain, and she hasn’t left since! She is the sweetest animal there has ever been. At the moment she is just starting to learn how to climb trees and chase butterflies, and deciding to claw everything in the house”

Posteverything.com has been the place to get Efterklang & Rumraket releases and merchandise since we signed to The Leaf Label in 2004. Just last week Posteveryhting.com closed down after many years of fine service. We will miss them!

There is a bunch of buylinks on our pages that directs you to Posteverything.com. We haven´t had time yet to change them but we will fix it soon.

In the meantime we can tell you about The Leaf Labels new mailorder shop which can be found here: Leaf at Greedbag. They have all the Efterklang stuff or will soon anyway.

We can also remind you about Rumrakets MP3 store at Klicktrack.com. There you can download all the Rumraket releases in high quality and DRM free MP3s. The Efterklang releases are also available there but can only be purchased if you have a Danish address. The others are universal.

Recently we just added Halcyon EP by Canon Blue and Parades by Efterklang to the Klicktrack store.

A couple of days ago we posted a music video made by Molly (age 10) and Jojo (7) and their complete remake of our song Mirador (incl. new music and lyrics) Read the story here

Now it turns out that the sweet kids from Maine, US and their father, have just recorded a live version of the song as well and put it on youtube. Have a look, we love it!!!

Please tell them how great they are on youtube

Its been too long since the last update on our photo blog - so late that the batch of photos we just uploaded is pretty huge!! The entire US tour is now documented plus what we did in June.

Have a look right here: www.flickr.com/photos/efterklang-recordings

This photo is taken from the stage when we played this years Roskilde Festival

We have just come across this on youtube. It is über cool! We love it! Thank you Molly and Jojo!!!!!

Here is what Molly and Jojo´s Father says about the video:
Ever wonder what that strange video is about, with the little bird-guy? We sure did! We even wrote to Efterklang to ask them, but they never wrote back (red. we did write back actually). So what DO we know? Well for one thing, it seems that Danish people like to whisper and mumble when they sing: “Something smthg smthg smthg Mountains… smthg smthg smthg Sea…” Well, wonder no more! Here is the video that will explain it all for you! The new words are by Molly (10) and Jojo (7). It should all be perfectly clear to everyone after this!

Wandering through the woods so far
Diving into the ocean
From clouds to sea
Just use the mountain to reach the sky…
La la la la, la la
Fall down from the flowers
Loopdy loop and fall
The extra mounten
Once there were mountens
The mounten was sad,
One day a Mama was getting a baby
The baby was coming
The baby came
Despite all the strange melting away
From lollypop Land
Painting a world
Look out for THE CROCODILE
Falling straight through
Blueberries and stars
Strawberries too

and now for the masterpiece video and new version of our song!
