Happy New Year everyone! And thanks for reading this and taking an interest in Copenhagen Collaboration Looking back, 2012 was a special year for us. Exciting stuff happened for Copenhagen Collaboration with us being trusted, and allowed, to put on two crazy concerts at both Roskilde and SPOT festival – but a lot of interesting [...]
Roskilde Festival just announced on their live web cast, that Copenhagen Collaboration will be doing a show at the festival this summer. Are we excited? I believe we are. Details to come.
Some weeks ago the SPOT festival in Århus, Denmark, announced that this years version of the festival will see a very special and “unique” live performance from the Copenhagen Collaboration under the name "Copenhagen Collaboration reworked by T. Finland and Mikkel Meyer". Here's a sort of explanation of what that means. (photo: Kristian Klintholm)
You can see our cover of the song "Funeral" by Band of Horses here:
A collaboration between CopCol and Tivoli has resulted in CopCol co-hosting seventeen world and folk concerts in the old famous gardens during the spring, summer and early autumn 2011.
I choose to blog about our Finnish brethren roaming the musical wilderness further north and further east of wee Denmark. Finland is a Nordic country, but not part of Scandinavia. And for many Scandinavians, maybe especially the Danes, Finland means mystery.
Before the Show is making a new album these days, which has had me thinking about artists and their creative patterns when it comes to writing, recording or just plain jammin’.
For example, when I put on an album with Mark Kozelek, whom I love dearly, it's very apparrant to me that he basically writes the same songs over and over again (roughly!). They’re all slow, guitar driven, repititious and filled with nostalgic melancholy.
After a brief ask-around amongst the band it was decided to play the gig on acoustic instruments, which meant that I had to dig out the old married couple... my banjo and my dobro. It´s a great marriage, but a quite ordinary one compared to the exciting and never-dull threesome of Freddys violin, Lines cello and Torleiks double bass.
It has once been said that being in a band resembles being in a relationship with
another person.. I find that very true. In this case, being in a relationship with Gustav, Kristine, Sune, Anders
and Thorben...
I’ve looked through my touring scrap book and found some great pictures from some of the tours I’ve participated in.
