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!

September 26 2008, 8pm we will perform our latest album Parades live from start to finish in a new arrangement for more than 60 musicians. We will hook up with The Danish Radio Sinfonietta, a top tuned and professional classical orchestra, and we cant wait! The concert will take place in Copenhagen at the newly built DR Byen (in fact the first concert there ever) in their Studie 2. There is about 400 tickets for sale so don´t sleep on this one. Approximately the first 250 tickets sold are seated and then the rest will be for standing audience. We truly believe this will be a special evening and we want to share it with you!

You can read more about the concert here: PÅ DANSK // IN ENGLISH
Here is a direct ticket link (danish/english): Billetnet.dk

Update on August 17th: An extra concert has been added on the same date but 10pm!

We are playing in Prague today! If you are around come by!

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 are not touring these days so there is lots of nice spare time to update websites!
We are proud to inform you guys that we have hooked up with Teater GROB - a Copenhagen based theater who sets up very nice plays one various stages!

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

We are supporting The National for two shows in Denmark in August!

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!)

yep! come cruise with us!
We are playing on the Copenhagen-Oslo ferry this friday!
