Posted 6 February 2010 by Anne

@ Jolene, Flæsketorvet 81-85, Copenhagen V
20:00-03 // Free entrance

The Thursday rock club residing in Jolene is hosting an unfashionable fashion party. Instead there will be plenty of trucker attitude, lacking sharpness and rock in his veins when Johnnie goes nuts.

Ice Age is gonna perform live. They tear apart genres like punk, indie and pop.
Djuna Barnes & Steen Jørgensen & Trentemøller – this blissful cocktail will please your ears and move your feet with rock, surf, novae, nufolk, indie classics and their own edits.

5 February: Armsrock’s ‘Zettelkasten’ Opening

Posted 1 February 2010 by Anne

@ We Are Related, Sankt Hans Gade 19, Copenhagen N
16:00-20:00 // Free entrance

The small space called ‘We Are Related’ is hosting their very first exhibition. We are very glad to see the much-talented Danish artist Armsrock on the poster.

The young Copenhagener works under the Armsrock moniker to make small interventions in urban space with his life-sized drawings of humans at the edges of society. Many of his works can be seen in the streets of central Nørrebro as well as around the world.

The exhibition “Zettelkasten” is an installation constructed around the idea of an archive of drawings, built on observations of people in the local environment around Sankt Hans Gade where Armsrock was born and raised.

The exhibition will run until 14 March.
Open Friday-Saturday 12-18, Sunday 12-16.

13 January – 6 February: MenneskeRobot

Posted 20 January 2010 by Mai Ji

@ Dansescenen, Pasteursvej 20, Copenhagen V.
20:00 – 21:15 // 75-180 Dkk

Normally we would not cover an ongoing event like this, but we think this dance performance is just too awsome to be missed out on. It just has that cool urban feel about it.

Dansescenen, now located at the old Carlsberg Brewery, starts off the new year with a fantastic dance performance called ‘MenneskeRobot’, which translates into human robot.

The choreographer Steen Koerner has managed to assemble some of the world’s best dancers inside the electric boogie genres. Furthermore he has experimented with producing a real robot that tries to imitate human movement patterns.

Saul Williams has written the poetry and Lucy Love will be slamming her heart out on top of a beat – all in all making it difficult for you not to tap your feet. So go and meet one real robot and nine human robots and expect an allround experience that makes you wonder.

The performance runs from 13 January until 6 February. The prize level depends on when you choose to go – mondays are ‘cheap-days’ at Dansescenen.
