Presale tip

If you're one of those (like me) who dig sludge, doom and stoner sometimes, and you've got 300 DKK, i'd suggest you go for this:

Three concerts on BETA in august for that price is pretty fair when you see what you're in for:

August 1st: EYEHATEGOD + BOTTOM FEEDER
August 5th: CROWBAR
August 7th: BARONESS

That is some pretty good concerts, that for sure.
You can buy a special ticket that gives you acces to all three for 300 DKK, but it's before this sunday, so you gotta hurry. See more here. The price will be 350 if you wait 'till after sunday.

JULY 2012, UPDATED: No holiday for the punks

Ungdomshuset is having a summer-break for most of, but that doesn't mean nothings going on! Tons of good gigs will take place, so if you're broke like me and can't afford going to some fancy palm-tree infested tourist hell, summers' saved!

1st: Wormrot (jp) + Evisorax (uk) + Dead Instrument (k-town) + Solid Noise (k-town) @ Bumzen, 21.00-late, 40 DKK.
Evil grindcore, and i mean very evil. Some of the best stuff around according to people involved in that scene. Dead Instrument has just released a new LP by the way.
BANDLINKS: WORMROT [] EVISORAX [] DEAD INSTRUMENT [] SOLID NOISE

11-14th: Metal Magic Festival @ Ungdommens Hus, Fredericia, no idea about price...
Up for traveling? Metal festival, many decent names on the programme, and the site is very nice. I can in NO WAY recommend Hell, man they suck ass. One band i definately CAN recommend is Antichrist who ruled at Muskelrock.

21st: 1 Day Hardcore Showdown @ Pumpehuset, 16.00-late, 240 (shit...) DKK.
Four bands who i'm really looking forward to see, the other four bands i don't see as a meaningfull part of a Poison Idea-gig, but well, it's the friggin' self-proclaimed kings of punk, so be there or regret it badly.
BANDLINKS (to the ones that don't sound like nu-metal): POISON IDEA [] HÅRDA TIDER [] NIGHT FEVER [] MUNICIPAL WASTE

22nd: Crazy Spirit (us) + Death Token + Sexdrome + The War goes on @ KB18, 20.00-late, 60 DKK.
Hardcore and punkrock, whats not to like?
BANDLINKS: CRAZY SPIRIT [] DEATH TOKEN [] SEXDROME [] TWGO

27th: Coke Bust (us) + Sick Fix (us) + Scavenger Brats + The Monoliths @ Bumzen, 20.00-03.00 (probably), 50 DKK.
Good addition to what seems to be two pretty badass hardcore weeks. Two good hc edge bands from the states, good local thrash/punk and something i've never seen live before. Always good.

23rd-29th: CPH QUEER FESTIVAL @ Ungdomshuset, from early 'till late all days. Entry is for free, donations is suggested!
Workshop-focused queer-festival, always a good visit, interesting stuff. The idea is to create a space without heterosexism, homofobia and the like, learn and share ideas and thoughts.

Chaos fucking rules

SEE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM THE FESTIVAL HERE

Fucking amazing times where had at the 2012 edition of Ungdomshusets punk-festival. I think the videos and links above pretty much summarizes it all.
For you who didn't show up, Terveet Kädet and Deviated Instinct still fucking rules, and you can't hear any bit that they've gotten older. Amazing!
Other memorable concerts would be Infernöh (with one of the most insane moshpits ever to happen in Ungdomshuset, apparently), Death Token (with a seriously good set-list) and Warprayer (which you have to check out NOW if you don't know them already).

A 2013 edition will probably happen, so keep an eye on that.

June 2012: Mayhem ahead

For me, the most central event of this month will be the K-Town Hardcore festival, not only because i am involved in the whole thing, but also because so many new bands will be playing there as well as some of my personal favourites. Instead of writing a lot of yada about it, check the festivals own website here!

The rest of the month will roughly look like this. I don't have time for descriptions (i'm in exam-hell) but here we go. Sorry for the delay by the way...:
