Important dates in OCTOBER 2012

Ungdomshuset will host a special 4-day 30th-anniversary party in october 24th-28th. During theese days there will be lots of different music, but what is most interesting for all you punk/d-beat/hardcore/metal-lovers out there is friday the 26th. This will be the "rock and the like" day, on which one or more old bands will reunite for this one time only. I can't tell you what it is yet, but damn is it good. So be sure to mark a big fat X in your calendar, i promise you will regret it forever if you're not there. Also shitloads of the best local acts will be there!

That was it for now.

JULY 2012, UPDATED: No holiday for the punks

New speed/thrash-metal on the block

Some of the locals are starting a new metal band called Invasion! Already now some rehearsing-sounds are up, find it here. Sounds like a band thats going to do quite a few gigs later this year, so keep your eyes open.

First bands for K-TOWN HARDCORE FEST 2012 released!

So, the first bands for the K-Town Hardcore Fest have been released, you can have a look at their Blogger-profile here. A facebook-event is up as well.

There will be more bands (up to 20!) added, so keep looking at their site.

Shits going down: MARCH 2012

Tons of stuff to do this month! There has been some minor changes in the way i do this, hope it works out for ya. I'll of course update if neccesary.

1st: March 1st Demonstration from Dortheavej 61, 17.00

As most of you know, some Christian fucktards decided to destroy the old Ungdomshuset on this day, five years ago. In remembrance, some activists have arranged a demonstration, going from the new Ungdomshuset, past Jagtvej 69, ending at Folkets Park.

2nd: Spiders (se) + Doublestone at Stengade, 21.00, 60 kr.

Sounding a like the soundtract to a Tarantino-movie, Spiders will be a really good gig, no doubt! To be honest, i have no idea on what Doublestone's about (but i've heard they are really good!).

8th: Grave Desecrator (bra) + War-Head (cro) + Sejr at Mayhem, 21.00, 40 kr.

Brutal black/death from Brazil supported by Croatian thrash, whats not to like? A local (to me unknown) band called Sejr will appear as well. 

9-10th: No Borders Fest // Ktown meets Malmö at Ungdomshuset, two days, 50 kr a day.

Two days of punk, hardcore and crust. A massive lineup that deserves its own blog-post. Check out my bla bla bla here.

10th: Documentary-premiere: "Bombemordet i Søllerødgade" at Støberiet, 19.00.

A terror-attack on a socialist group, ending with one dead, has extra attention this year, since it is 20 years ago on march 16th. A producer-team presents their brand-new movie on the bombing.

10th: Cerekloth + Pustulation + Mold at Stengade, 21.00, 60 kr.

Mean and evil death in various forms. Both Cerekloth and Pustulation should be checked out, Cerekloth did a great gig at KTDF as far as i remember! Mold is brand-new, and word on the street says they delivered an impressive concert last time they did a gig.

12th: Crude (jp) + Backlash (fin) + Dogmatist at Stengade, 21.00, 40 kr.

Crude speaks for itself, this will get messy. Backlash is straight forward hardcore and Dogmatist is one of K-Towns newest HC-installments. Whats not to like?

16th: "Duk dig ikke, duk op", at Blågårds Plads, 17.00.
Demonstration in remembrance of the above mentioned terror-attack.

16th: Moonless album-release party, at Loppen, 21.00, 40 kr.

One of my absolute favorite bands at the moment finally has a record release (so far, only a demo and some online stuff has been released). The gig features Moonless, The War Goes On, Torchlight and one more tba!

23rd: Dig og Mig + MOR + Afdeling O + Dj Rabalder, at Elværket (Helsingør), 21.00, 40 kr.

Up for some catchy (all most too catchy) pop-punk with lyrics taken from an old No Hope For The Kids song? Well then you should go for this gig, with Dig og Mig, electro-punk locals Mor, a to me unknown band called Afdeling O and DJ Rabalder.

24th: Miasmal (se) + Molok + Hekla, at Elværket (Helsingør), 21.00, 40 kr.
I'm not really into black, so i'll only be able to say some words on Miasmal.
A heavy deathband from around Gothenburg that did a killer gig at KTDF (was it last year??). Got a crusty edge, and it is clear, that some one in that band has done several d-beat acts before. Some of the best death scandinavia can show in my book!

29th: Fuck The Facts + Slaktattack + Green River Killer + Solid Noise, at Ungdomshuset, 20.00, 50 kr.

One hefty lineup closes down this month (lets see if more turns up as always...). Fuck The Facts does an insanely good grind-act, Slaktattack brings the crusty edge with d-beat as only swedes can provide, Green River Killer mixes metal and grind, and last but not least, Solid Noise is a brand new promising grind-band from Ungdomshuset!

31st: Århus for mangfoldighed 

Important demonstration against fascists from EDL and DDL, not to miss. There will be buses from Copenhagen, so no excuse...

New punk-grind on the block

A new band has emerged from the Ungdomshuset practice-spaces. The band is called Dræber Instinkt (Killer Instinct) and are in the bands own words "DIY punk-grind".

As is traditional for grind, the songs are very short, and vary from being around half a minute to one-and-a-half. Short, aggressive, distorted and with a lot of energy. Seems like a blockbuster to me.

I hope to see them on some stage soon!

Check out their demo at Soundcloud

Back to attack: FEBRUARY 2012 UPDATED

Some more stuff added...

So, after a quiet january, february will be busy as hell. There's a lot of double-bookings, so it will look quite messy:

2nd: THIS GIFT IS A CURSE (swe), HEXIS (kbh) start of their tour at Ungdomshuset, Dortheavej 61, and ABSCISSION (kbh) will play as well. All the bands make use of  a new school-ish mix of black -and deathmetal with lots of hardcore-elements. Doors: 20.00, Entry: 40 kr.

10th: DOGMATIST, SKURV and BRUDTE LØFTER playing at Bumzen, Baldersgade 20. Dogmatist and Brudte Løfter is two completely new ktown hardcore-acts, both promising to deliver a raw sound, good times and headaches. The gig is their debut-show as well! Skurv (kbh) is described as "youth-crew scooter oi". I'll leave it at that. Doors: 21.00, Entry: 35 kr.

10th: PUNKS UNDEAD VOL. 23 at Magstræde, w/ PORNO DVÆRG (hellsingør), PIS (kbh), THE GRAVE IS NOT THE END (roskilde) and DEN YDERSTE DAG (kbh).

11th: GOOD NIGHT WHITE PRIDE support-bash at Ungdomshuset, Dortheavej 61. Loads of stuff will happen, to much for a few lines, so check out the link.

11th: FUNEBRARUM (us), UNDERGANG (kbh), DEFILEMENTORY (udstrup) and MOLD (kbh) at Loppen, Christiania. Really promising death metal show put up by the good people in the Kill-Town crew. Both a debut-concert, tour-band and a record-release at the same gig. Doors: 21.00, Entry: 70 kr. 

14th: KYLESA (us) + Support at Beta Club, Amager. Kylesa is one of those bands that can do anything, and therefore youre never sure what to expect. They've got some awesome crusty tunes as well as close-to-traditional thrashy stuff, and from what i've heard it is always a good show. Doors: 20.00, Entry: 135 (so it better be good...).

17th: FOREVER DOOMED #2:BOTTOM FEEDER (kbh), TORCHLIGHT (kbh), UNION OF SLEEP (de) and DJ Grief + DJ Jens Franco at Ungdomshuset, Dortheavej 61. The darker genres continue to take a big bite of this month with this all-sludge gig! Doors: 21.00, Entry: 40 kr. 

18th: BLACK FAG (us) and MISS FISH & THE DROWNERS (kbh) at Stengade 30. No, there is not an "L" missing in Black Fag and yes, they are approved by the actual Black Flag. This sets new standards for queercore, and with as good and entertaining support as Miss Fish, nothing can go wrong. Doors: 21.00, Entry: 50 kr.  

24th: CRUTCHES (malmö), KYLMÄ SOTA (fin) and INFERNÖH (malmö) at Rex, Malmö. Another punk gig at the Rex Pizzeria, this time raw-punk only. Doors: 19.00, Entry: No idea?

25th: CAULDRON (can) + STRIKER (can) + SINISTER CREATION (kbh) at Stengade 30. Cauldron provides the classic heavy metal, Striker makes makes sure that things are speeded up a bit as well with clear Judas Priest references, while Sinister Creation is doing oldschool NWOBH! Doors: 21.00, Entry: 80 kr.
