Two days ago we performed at Huset Magstraede in Copenhagen together with two nice bands. Housewife lovers and The Elephants. The Elephants used an instrument live that I´ve only heard on records; the theremin!! Theremin is an old electronic instrument that generates sad whisteling sounds. You play it by moving your hands up and down and from side to side in some kind of transmission field between two antennas. I´m not going to be more technical than that, since I really cant explain it better… Anyway, the theremin was often used in sci-fi movies from the 50s and 60s to make those spacy sounds.

This week we will play together with LPG in Sweden and It´s going to be great :-)! On Wednesday (29 Oct) we will play at the University of Halmstad and on Saturday (1 Nov) at Chalmers, Gothenburg. On Friday (31 Oct) we will also play at Fängelset in Gothenburg and it´s an “all ages”-gig, so bring your little brothers and sisters! You can buy your tickets on Ticnet here:

The Journey back home went pretty well. We managed to get up 4.30 and an hour later we rolled out from Ridderkerk. Now we have a few days off before we’ll perform next time, which will be this Friday (24th) on “Nordic Nights” at Huset Magstraede in Copenhagen, Denmark. That will be our first gig in Denmark and we are really looking forward to it! Hopefully Erik will get his amp fixed before that, since it broke down in Oxford the other night.
