is one of the most mesmerizing live bands these days. The Danish trio - formed in 2003 - has played alongside genre bending contemporaries Daft Punk, Soulwax, Hot Chip, Justice and LCD Soundsystem. The Queens of The Stone Age covered one of their first singles on Gomma Records («Space To Rent»).
TH: In '88 I listened to Led Zeppelin and The Beatles. I had long hair.
Salt-N-Pepa - Push It
Wee Papa Girl Rappers - Heat It Up
Phuture
Armando
Mr. Fingers
TB: To get the 88-vibe going I would listen to «Push It», «Heat It Up» or maybe some acid stuff from Phuture, Armando or Mr Fingers.
you try to stay up for more than 24 hours?
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
TB: It’s pretty hardcore, but the album is from 1990, which means that it still has this cheesy 80’s flavour in the production, and that makes it pretty funny, eventhough Pantera is not very funny, especially after one of the guys got shot.
you come home from the club?
TB and TH: Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas or Todd Terje mixes from the internet.
JK: Complete silence, no noise
you go to a club?
Ferenc - Yes Sir I Can Hardcore
TB: Basically everything that Chicken Lips put there hands on and a lot of the Eskimo and Freundinnen label’s releases. Later at night it might be «Yes Sir I Can Hardcore» or releases from Fumakilla.
you run naked through a cornfield?
Steppeulvene
TB: A Danish hippieband (=Steppenwolf) doing lyrics like «track with me to nepal».
you prepare for an important date?
The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
TH
you are in a depressive mood?
Shubidua
TH: Shubidua, a cheasy Danish band that I listened to when I was a kid. It reminds me of sorrowless times.
you want to disturb your neighbours?
We don’t listen, we play loud, jammy stuff all night on whatever instruments are avalible... Anything goes but the most effective is our punk covers of Village People material.
you drive a car late at night?
Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
TH: I listened to to this song on a long tour in the Baltic states almost ten years ago. We drove a lot at night, the roads were long and dark, and Chris was as always there with us.
Robag Wruhme & Wighnomy Bros
TB: I made a CD for my car with them included and it’s super late night-driving music. Except that it makes me drive a bit too fast and that you get kind of dizzy if you drive with that music on the stereo for more than an hour.
you go fishing?
David Lee Roth - Skyscraper
We have to divide this into three questions, because there are three sorts of fishing. When we go pleasure fishing we mostly enjoy old Danish classics like: Mormors Kolonihavehus (Grandmas Bungalow), De Gamle Bukser (the Old Trousers), Det Var Capri (it was on Capri). For open water fishing we chose: David Lee Roth - Skyscraper. Industrial fishing calls for good old Scandinavian heavymetal bands like King Diamond and Skagarack. On cloudy days we go strictly Gregorian (not the old boring stuff, but new good tracks with technobeats underneath).
you watch girls go by?
Blur - Song 2
Uh---huh!!!!
you make love?
Sigur Rós
JK: Anything by Sigur Rós.
Massive Attack - Protection
TB: I stopped using lovemaking-music in the 90’s, but then it was definitely «Protection».
you jump out of a plane with a parachute?
Rachmaninov
Coldplay - Parachutes... no just kidding!!!!! Of course we listen to Rachmaninov.
you are on the tour bus?
Bob Marley
Frank Zappa
TH: Bob Marley or Frank Zappa.
you need to get work done?
We don’t listen to music, when we have work to do. It’s too distractive. Our work is music.
