Under en Sort Sol!

One of my favorite bands from Denmark announced a couple of days ago in a danish newspaper, that they are going on a tour again, starting in March 2011.

"Sort Sol" (Black Sun) started as a high school punk band back in the good 70ties and stayed on their path throughout both the 80ties & 90ties and matured to become one of the best live bands in Denmark at the time.

In 1984 they included this duet -if you can call it that - with Lydia Lunch, an American poet, singer and songwriter connected to the New York punk scene at the time, on the album: "Dagger & Guitar".
Nine years later they got a kind of breakthrough when they released the album: "Glamourpuss".
The song: "Let the fingers do the walking" became their biggest hit.

Their music became less "punk" and so they reached a bigger audience.
In their live performances they still included their older and punk stuff, and their concerts was always very intense and very loud.
If I have the chance to go to a Sort Sol concert once again, I will definitely go.
So this could be a reminder to my danish readers to check the live music calendars in spring time 2011.
