November 2007:
New band member presentation

Jes Iversen, drummer, started in 1981 as a 7-year-old with his first Ludwig drum kit, and was educated through out the 1980s, until he was convinced that his beat was solid. Since then he has played in several bands (eg. Metro, Hamilton, Ugler i mosen) and musicals (Gasolin Musical 2006). Jes plays a number of styles, but especially likes pop/rock. Today he plays Gretsch drums helped by Rolands products.

01.01.06: Finally we have gotten around to create a profile at myspace.com, where it is said that everybody who is anything has a profile. Check it out if you like. We've made some interesting friends already. We are absolutely certain that PJ Harvey and Nick Cave PERSONALLY okayed our request to become their friends. God, it's good to know that those people know our music now!

November 15, 2005: Bewildermen in TV2 Østjylland on Spil Dansk Dagen

 

Bewildermen played in Bazar Vest as part of the national Spil Dansk Dag initiative on October 27. We had arranged with the choir Basic Trust (led by Kristine Poulsgaard Tjørnholm) to sing six songs with us. It sounded fantastic, we all thought. Furthermore one of our old friends — the rapper "Inspired" (AKA Sean-Poul de Fre Gress) — turned up and poured his poetry all over Fear of Heights. The guy on bongos is Torben Tiedemann. He was substituting for our missing drummer and was doing a great job on perc. TV2 Østjylland made a cool little news item out of the concert.

July 27, 2005: Rasmus Geerthsen Joins The Band

We are happy and proud to trumpet that Rasmus Geerthsen is going to sound the electric guitar and various other instruments in or little group from now on. Ramus is a well-educated guitarist, who has taken jazz classes at e.g. Frontsession and Århus Music Academy (we wont let him use his black jazz magic in the band though). Among many others he has earlier played with upcoming Danish sadcore singer-songwriter Jacob Faurholt. Rasmus is also a music teacher in grade school - and, yes, he is just as sweet a guy as this sounds. He takes his art seriously and thus he is also a promising abstract painter. You can see some of his work at www.rasmusg.dk. Welcome Ras — give us hell!

 

July 1, 2005: Danish Drum Majorettes Championship

Yesterday Len and I went to play in the streets of Århus. Actually it was my début as a street musician, so I was a little nervous. But as soon as the music began and Len got that good energy of hers going we enjoyed it. It's really something with all that contact between audience and artist: no stage, no lights in our eyes, completely naked and real. The crazy thing was that of all days we had chosen the day when the Danish Drum Majorettes Championship was held in Århus. (I am not particularly fond of drum majorettes music.) So there they were, one formation after the other marching down the main shopping street with approximately 3 minutes between them, which meant that we could almost play an entire song before the next drum majorettes closed in. They stamped, whistled, whirled sticks round, smiled like flight attendants, and made different tunes sound exactly the same — uniforms tend to make things uniform (no matter how colourful). One of the outfits even had young boys carrying replica muzzle loaders in stead of musical instruments. It was probably meant to be historical, but I thought it was disgusting. Anyway, after a couple of hours of this we gave up and headed for a different part of town. You know what happened? The second we arrived there, we saw drum majorettes coming in our direction! Things were beginning to get Kafkaesque. Len's friend Per Nissen filmed us on his cell phone, unfortunately he didn't get the sweet majorettes in the shot, but you can hear them all right. Best wishes — Rolf
