Mankind (SE)

Explosive, dark, potent, and psyched out. The main little monster fish here is the band MANKIND. Currently whipping up the underground and warehouse parties in Stockholm with their runaway, throbbing and decadent show and masterpieces produced by Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor). The Line of Best Fit describes it as “A shock to the system not unlike a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart”, NME call them “snotty four-piece MANKIND”, or as The Needle Drop simply puts it; “MANKIND forever”.

MANKIND were brought up on music released long before they were born and in boroughs far from where they lived (the early 90’s Seattle scene, the Velvet’s New York, The Door’s California, London 60s…) and that’s exactly where they belong artistically. Their own DNA is a unique sound full of odd MANKIND figments, twisted song structures, lyrics that are¨clever, angry, darkly funny, upsetting and on-point and a world of imagery and ideas that we know will keep us busy and alert.


Halasan Bazar

Halasan Bazar will be performing song from their recently released psych-pop album Burns (2017).

Recorded in the French mountains, armed with a magical unending bag of weed, Halasan Bazar laid down these tunes mostly live – all vocals, acoustic guitars, drums and piano. This immediacy emphasizes their blissed-out sonics, buoyant melodies and kaleidoscopic composition, each moment purposefully placed creating their rich sonic tapestry. Inspired by the greats of Greenwich Village’s ‘60s folk, the lavish production of Lee Hazlewood, vocal harmonies of yesteryear and hallucinogenic day tripping. Some surfy guitar vibes and plenty of driving piano jams too.

Tunes like “Freak” wave that Halasan flag proudly atop infectious guitar melodies and layered vocal harmonies creating a sing-a-long anthem for the misfits and the weirdos out there. “Get Sick and Die” incorporates swelling strings for an unexpectedly dreamy passage alongside sophisticated rock ’n’ roll. One of many highlights, “Burns My Mind” has a driving, catchy groove and the entire band firing on all cylinders crafting a bombastic party atmosphere.

A beautiful and vivid album from an unapologetic band of freaks and dreamers, Halasan Bazar effortlessly leave their mark with “Burns”.

Cosmic waves

Cosmic Waves is a Copenhagen-based 4-piece shoegaze/post-punk band formed in spring 2017, consisting of Danish, Luxembourgish and Swedish members.

The band plays a dark, introverted and at times exploding noisy mix of shoegaze and post-punk, with tight and capturing song structures, drowning in chorus and reverb. Cosmic Waves thus mix the catchy gloominess of bands like The Cure and Siouxsie and The Banshees and the sprawling energy of My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth with haunting female vocals.

Cosmic Waves are known for delivering captivating and energetic live performances, which at times blur the lines between the stage and the audience.

So far, the band has released the self-titled EP ‘Cosmic Waves’ (2017) and a mini live EP (2018), as well as a music video for their song ‘Sun Doom’.  A new music video for their song ‘Dead Night’ is also on the verge of release.

Me after You (AUS/IT/DK)

One of our absolute favourites, this immaculately dressed, shoegazy duo has been impressing folks on the CPH scene in a select number of concerts, never ever failing to disappoint.

Me after you are: the amazing Federico Festino beating out his signature tracks on drums and keys and the good Professor Len Seabrooke beguiling and enthralling with his bass, lyrics and stories of life last decade, last week and yesterday.

Performing hits from their first album, ‘Foughts’ produced by Andy Miller and out now with Custom Made Music, as well as some new almost unheard tracks.

CUT (IT)

Bolognas’ hard touring, hard rocking and hard not to love CUT are returning to Copenhagen to finally grace Frederiskberg Country Club’s  special, personal and intimate basement scene. We have been lucky enough to have known this talented trio for a couple of years now and cant wait for our loyal regulars to experience their brilliance.

Described ass John Lee Hooker in a straight jacket and in the middle of a European tour we bring you CUT.

CUT are rock and roll/blues punk/noise trio. Formed in 1996, CUT have released six studio albums and have tour all over Europe constantly, thus earning a solid reputation as one of the wildest and most intense live bands on the scene.

CUT have been sharing the stage with the likes of: Iggy & The Stooges, Violent Femmes, Heavy Trash, The Jim Jones Revue, The Make Up, Unwound, Royal Trux, International Noise Conspiracy, Eels, Delta ’72, Man Or Astroman, The Hives, Guitar Wolf, Mudhoney and many other Italian and international acts.

Their first album Operation Manitoba (released in 1998) was described as “best Italian rock debut of the year” by Rumore, Italy’s main rock monthly.

The band have 16 UK tours under their belt as well as  repeated tours of Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia, Croatia, Switzerland, Austria and shows in the New York (USA) area.

Their 2010 Annihilation Road album has been recorded and mixed by Matt Verta-Ray of Speedball Baby/Heavy Trash fame in his New York studio, NY HED. The album has been mastered by Ivan Julian, from legendary punk/new wave outfit Richard Hell and The Voidoids
In October 2011, the band released a live album, recorded during CUT’s UK tour of the same year. The record – The Battle of Britain – portraits the band in their favourite milieu: a fiery, intense and wild live show.

CUT have also released a 7” split with Rocket Recording artists Julie’s Haircut, featuring a mash-up of Hot Chocolate’s “Emma” and Suicide’s “Dream Baby Dream”: weird but true.

In 2017 CUT released their sixth studio album, Second Skin, featuring contributions from Mike Watt (Minutemen, Firehose, Iggy & The Stooges) and Stefano Pilia (Rokia Traoré’s band, In Zaire and Mike Watt’s Il Sogno Del Marinaio) and many others. Since the album’s release in February 2017, the band has been touring non-stop all over Italy, Europe and the UK.

Håkon Lervåg

(Guitar, vocals and other surprises)

Håkon Lervåg is a Norwegian/Danish tunesmith revered and respected by imaginary friends in his apartment, but recently he has been performing for a select few out in the real world.

His dreamy atmospheric songs, a composite of sonically beautiful textures, have a filmic quality about them, as he explores the burdensome nature of relationships and bad lifestyle choices in eerie terms. His terms.

LUCY BLOOM
Lucy Bloom is a new experimental collaboration between musicians from the Danish scene and writer and poet Sofie Kragh-Müller.

The band combines raw avantgard-pop with texts that relate to relations and hierarchies in a wide sense:

Aminal // human
Nature // culture
Madness // normality
Woman // man
Krop // tanke.
Evolution // Regression.

Their lineup is:
Saxild: bass guitar
Rønn: vocals and keyboard
Tolbøll: Samples and triggers
Mathiesen: Drums and percussion
Müller: All texts

DJ Son of a Preacher Man will provide the tunes he is known for and will lay his boogies down thick and fast for y’all.

As usual, but none the less we are incredibly grateful to Frederiksberg Kommunes musikudvalg and Statens kunstfond for their continuous support
