It will be a special show as it will be our first concert ever as an 6 piece band. After playing about 150 concerts as an 8 piece band we look forward to try this out and we have been rehearsing all week to make it perfect!

Anna is on vacation this week so Peters sister Heather Woods Broderick is sitting in on piano, vocal and flute. Besides Heather the band will be Mads, Casper, Thomas, Rasmus and Peter.

Also worth mentioning is that the set-list for tonights concert will include two songs from Springer our debut mini-album from 2003. We will play Bright and Kloy Gyn. We haven´t played those songs in 3 and 5 years!

We are on at 9:45pm. You can read more about the Midnight Sun Festival right here

We will score the two plays they are setting up this fall. First one is “En Plads i Mit Hjerte” (a place in my heart) which premieres August 23rd at Kaleidoskop in Copenhagen.

Next play is “Som Hos Dig Står” (I dont´t know how to translate this - any suggestions from the Danes reading this? - maybe “who by you stand” ??) This play premieres November 17 2008 at PLEX one of our favorite places in Copenhagen.

You can read about the plays (in Danish) at Teater Grobs website: Grob.dk

and then we are playing at the huge Bal de la Bastille in Paris on July 13!

hope to see you somewhere!

We are very happy about this, because we love that band - and especially because The National themselves specifically asked for Efterklang to support their shows in Denmark.

Their latest album Boxer has been one of the top 3 most played albums in our tour-bus since October.

August 12 - Store VEGA - Copenhagen - tickets
August 13 - Train - Aarhus - tickets
(we can´t make it home in time for the show on August 11 so another band will support that one - we will let them announce first - but we can let you know that it is a fine band!)

OK - once again - I was traveling home on the 5th set to arrive 1pm in Copenhagen on June 6th exactly 12 hours before Efterklang was playing this years SPOT Festival. When I got to the airport in Denver I was told by 4 different United Airlines people that unfortunately I was going to miss my connecting flight in Chicago to Denmark due to storms. This meant I would have to stay another day in the US and more important that it would be impossible for me to play this years SPOT Festival which I was very psyched and motivated to do.

I called home and delivered the bad news to Casper from Efterklang and to Jesper our Danish booker. They immediately called around to check if we could play on the saturday instead and woke up about 15 people in the middle of the night I reckon.

I was feeling very sad and frustrated when something incredible happened! There was an earlier flight to Chicago which also was delayed and to which I was on the stand-by list for. It was completely sold-out and only 2 people got on the plane via stand-by. I was not among them, but then an airport miracle happened. One of the stewardesses went on board and came out and said that according to the computer the plane was full, but there was an empty seat in there and she pointed to me and said “get on board”.

I was so happy and thrilled. The joy and relief I felt when we played at SPOT is indescribable. It felt so good to be there. Playing for so many people and getting standing ovations two times of course helped extra on my mood. It was a great evening and a perfect way to end a month of touring in the USA.
