Bandcamp Subscription #8 now available

My concert in Copenhagen at the start of September is next month’s Bandcamp subscription release available as a full quality digital download and limited, hand typed physical edition.

My train from Rostock took the long way there and arrived half an hour late. I took the most expensive taxi in the world to arrive in time for a quick soundcheck and a round of hellos before Illemann started the evening and I listened from backstage, quarantined and instructed not to venture out front.

I felt that I played a somewhat stiff set, perhaps due to the sensation of flying in and playing to a dark space under such conditions but I enjoyed myself just the same, took my time and listening back later I’m ok with sharing the recording now. Many thanks to Rasmus for the invitation and continued support for my thing and for everyone that came out this evening. I hope to be back in the new year with a little more time and perhaps feel a bit closer to the action.

September 2020 - songs and set lists from the concerts

A quick note about this entry - I spent an hour or two and wrote a long post here but somehow closed the browser without saving so lost it all. Right now I’m posting the set lists for those that asked and some choice recordings from each night that I have and will follow with more words about each night and more photos, videos, etc when I get the energy to write it all out again. Bah.

Anyway, I just came back from some shows and they went like this:
