Yukon Blonde (US) + The Migrant
FORSALG: https://www.place2book.com/event/4721?locale=da
Over the past two years, Yukon Blonde has earned no shortage of acclaim for its hook-heavy brand of pop rock. But despite their love of vintage rock ‘n’ roll, the members aren’t the kind of guys who cling to the past.
Frontman Jeff Innes, guitarist Brandon Scott and drummer Graham Jones first joined forces in 2005 in their hometown of Kelowna, BC. Performing under the name Alphababy, they released two EPs and toured extensively while perfecting a slow-burning variety of synth-heavy rock. But when the project soured, the three friends abandoned all of their hard work and reinvented themselves as Yukon Blonde in 2008.
Artistically uncompromising as ever, Yukon Blonde have already proved that they are willing to go wherever their restless artistic muse takes them. The next stop: a live venue near you, as these road warriors will be racking up yet more miles on the odometer in the very near future and heading on tours across Australia, Europe and North America.
The Migrant inviterer på en rejse ned i en underverden af smukke popsange og psykedelisk folk. De sidste par år har den tidligere Elephants-frontmand, sangskriver og musiker Bjarke Bendtsen rejst rundt i USA med guitar og kuffert som eneste faste følgesvende. Som The Migrant udgav han i 2010 første soloalbum Travels in Lowland til rosende anmeldelser i både USA og Europa. I efteråret 2011 kom 2′eren Amerika, der med stærke sange, kradsende guitar og støvede horn-instrumenter har fået endnu flere anmelderhænder i vejret.
Bjarke Bendtsens sange svæver i et drømmende, men usentimentalt univers og kredser om frihed, længsel efter det uforudsigelige, mystik og eventyr. De bliver båret igennem af en varieret og legesyg instrumentering og Bjarkes vokal, som rummer lige dele inderlighed og nødvendighed.
