I go ape in the state of Denmark

Doing a very special set in Aarhus Denmark tomorrow night. Honoured guest dj at the 10th anniversary of Filmbyen – a cool place where they make movies in Denmark. This burlesque, over-the-top party/show is produced by my very own son and his slightly mad companions at the famous (or infamous perhaps?) Kaospilot programme . I hear rumors that there will be excesses of all kinds and golden decadence….

Being in Aarhus, I will not miss the splendid opportunity to drop in and say hello to my friends the danish vinyl gurus in the Monkey Club  and maybe spin some tunes at their wicked Rockers vs Mods night.

This one is to start you up guys… Neil Sedaka – believe it or not!

 

Party like a Pope!

Or..should I say, when in Rome, just do like the Romans do and you will have a hell of a good time! I am going back to the eternal city in the end of October for a gig at the first Party Tiger Reunion, hosted by Kick’em Jenny.

Cool bands (don’t miss mythical Swedish band Hi-Winders!) and wilder than the wildest Canadian…Bloodshot Bill.

Ci vediamo a Roma, guys.

Finger poppin’ festival

Got the honour of playing the first day of the yearly festival in my hometown Malmö, a free seven-day party in the streets of this city of crime, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a huge white twisted cock that people live in….

Malmöfestival 2013

Anyway, on stage I got some real nice company from dancers from Cat’s Corner

…and models showing retro delights from Flique i Underjorden, producers of this retro event.

And THIS is what got their hips shaking….

Jamboree on a Junkyard

Hell of a party coming up this weekend and it’s gonna be one of those loooooong sets where you just keep on playing til you drop.

Junkyard Jamboree 2013

Grease, tease and some wicked cars all mixed up with great rock’n’roll and smokin barbecues.

Junkyard Dj Undertaker

If you missed this party at a junkyard in Sweden, here’s a little teaser of what it looked like a few years ago. Made by film maker Dan Andersson.

On vacation, thinkin of Dick and Rusty

The best thing about vacation is when you know that your mailbox is waiting for you to get home and find some amazing tunes.

Until I get to break into the mailbox (after to smokin hot weeks in southern Italy), I’ll share with you the two gems I recently laid my hands on.

First you get the fantastic  “Nancy Lynne” (oh, that hand clapping…) by Dick D’Agostin, mostly known for touring with Eddie Cochran.

And last but not least…straight from Phoenix Arizona is Rusty Isabell with his piano rock’n’roll instro attack “Firewater” (which you probably are sipping right now in the hot summer evening). Cheers!

The royale Stockholm Tour 2013

As youngest princess M is getting ready to tie the knots with her American tycoon in Stockholm, I will keep the capital of Scandinavia boiling and trembling with wild tunes fo three nights in a row, starting Thursday June 6 at Big Jeff, followed by a special night at the exotic Tiki Room on Friday June 7 and tuning out at the great chill out Saturday afternoon at Stockholm’s finest lifestyle store Sivletto. Looking forward to changing the heavy southern fumes of Malmö’s outskirts for that special northern sinister air….

See you at the club, and remember: You got to have smelt a lot of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly!
