Acclaimed Danes do look back: Efterklang to do Parades in full

Efterklang by benjamin Kurstein

Delicious Danes Efterklang are to 'do an Ash' (pick your own retrospecting band of choice, there) in September, performing their much-acclaimed Parades album of 2007 in full, from start to finish.

The performance - an echo of ATP's successful Don't Look Back series which has seen the likes of Mudhoney, Low, Sonic Youth, Isis and The Melvins perform an album from their past in full - takes place in Copenhagen on September 26; the band will be backed by the Danish Radio Sinfonietta.

What that means: over 60 musicians will be on stage, bringing Parades (review) to life like it never has been before. If you can get a ticket to this one-off event, which will be recorded at DR Byen (home of the Danish Broadcasting Service) DiS suggests you do so. Details in full:

Parades in Concert

  • This album

    really isn't that great. Sounds pretty, but no songs!

  • It is

    almost tempting to have a holiday to clash with that. Would be great for a London gig of that, or for more great gigs in Denmark around then, hmmm.

  • Better than anything

    This album is.
    It is absolutely incredible and as a live performance this band is supreme and this show would be incredible.
    i am currently looking at flights to copenhagen.
