Radio + Duo shows w/ RebekkaMaria

April 1, 2011 – 4:34 pm

Hi, friends!

Spring is finally starting to emerge in the Copenhagen soil! Also, more concerts are starting to pop up in the concert calendar. We’re so excited about the concerts we’re going to play! London, Sdr. Felding, Copenhagen, Skive. We can’t wait :) !

First, some brief radio news: Sister Sorrowsong is currently # 2 @ Det Elektriske Barometer and #4 @ Systemlisten – this is so great! THANK you for cheering for her! If you want to help her to stay on the lists, you’re welcome to vote by clicking the hearts :) !

And now to something completely different: The announcement of exclusive duo shows with RebekkaMaria & the hymnboy!

RebekkaMaria & Jonas

You might know, that RebekkaMaria and I did some duo shows last fall, and this was such a good experience for us, so we’ve decided to do some more at some great venues in Denmark. We’ll be playing some acoustic versions of each other’s songs. It will be quiet and fine. Also, we’ll interpret some songs by Simon & Garfunkel for the nice event “We Proudly Present: Simon and Garfunkel”, alongside with such brilliant artists as Mads Langer, Kasper Kaae from CODY and Mikael Kærsgaard.

Here’s a version of RebekkaMaria’s hit single “Oh Solitude” from the At My Place concert last year.

Oh Solitude (RebekkaMaria & Hymns From Nineveh duo live) by RebekkaMaria

# 1 @ Det Elektriske Barometer & High 5!

March 14, 2011 – 12:38 pm

Hi, Folks!

YOU guys are fantastic! Why? Just because you are!

But – you also make good things happen for Hymns from Nineveh. You’ve been voting and cheering for us on the various hit lists: Soundvenue High 5, Det Elektriske Barometer and Systemlisten.

Sister Sorrowsong is now numero UNO at Soundvenue High 5 and Det Elektriske Barometer – and, it’s number 5 on Systemlisten – this is FAN-TAS-TIC!! Thank you SO much!
Mechanical Bird is number 2 at Det Elektriske Barometer – we’re thrilled :) ! Thanks for cheering for this project too.

If you want to vote for Sister Sorrowsong again, it would mean the world to us.

Systemlisten (your vote counts if you vote for 2 other acts)
Det Elektriske Barometer (your vote counts, if you vote for 4 other acts – I suggest that you vote 4 Mechanical Bird as well :) )
Soundvenue High 5 (your vote counts if you vote for 2 other acts)

Yeah – thank you so much – you make miracles happen.

With love,

Jonas the Hymnboy

Summary: A fantastic weekend

March 14, 2011 – 12:37 pm

 

The Hymnband @ Døgnaben, aka Nyborg gas station

 

Hi, everyone.

This weekend we did a minitour in the three largest cities in Denmark: Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense. Three sold out shows at three great venues. A total of 455 wonderful people attended these concerts. Overwhelming.

It was our first three shows as a full band, so we were a tiny bit nervous – but the love from the audience made us calm and joyful; it may sound as a cliché, but really – we felt your love. Thank you! GAFFA reviewed the Aarhus show, and gave it 5 stars and a lot of praise. You can read it here (it’s in Danish, sorry).

In about three weeks time, we’ll come to Huset in Aalborg. It’ll be great.

We took some pictures during the weekend. Have a look at some of them here, and view the whole photo album on Facebook.

TOUR coming uuuup! Few tickets left.

March 8, 2011 – 3:33 pm

HI folks,

My point of view

We’ve been practising for quite a while now to get the new arrangements right – and, we’re SO EXCITED about the upcoming tour next weekend! There’s a good vibe at the rehearsal space.

There are only few tickets left in Aarhus and Copenhagen, so if you want to be sure to see us there, go get a ticket in pre-sale! There are still tickets in Odense – and you can get them here.

 

David is messing around with the effects - it sounds marvellous

Jake is in the "banjo-bandana mood" and Nikolaj looks through his notes (take a look at all that beautiful hair!)

SEE YOU!
/Jonas

Them lists

March 8, 2011 – 2:48 pm

Dear friends,

I’m so thrilled to see that Sister Sorrowsong has made it to THE TOP at the Soundvenue High 5 list! I’m so grateful for your votes!! THANK YOU!! It would be graite if you could take your time to vote for it again?

Also – this weekend Sister Sorrowsong was tested as a contender for BOTH lists at Danish national radio, P3: “Systemlisten” and the list for alternative music, Det Elektriske Barometer! This is HUGE! But – the finest moment was when wingman in Hymns from Nineveh, Jakob Brixen, made it to the TOP at Det Elektriske Barometer with his Mechanical Bird – thank you so much for your help :) !

So – now I would like to ask you, if you could take the time to put a heart next to Sister Sorrowsong (+4 other artists) at Det Elektriske Barometer (I of course highly recommend that you vote for Mechanical Bird as well!), and (if you haven’t already voted) at Systemlisten (+2 other artists) . I’m sorry to spam you with these things, but you decide these lists, people, so it’s up to you :) ! Deadline is tomorrow at noon.

Vote @ Det Elektriske Barometer:

Vote @ Systemlisten:

 

Vote @ Soundvenue High 5:

P3 Systemlisten

March 6, 2011 – 11:19 am

Hi, friends,

once again, I will ask you to do a favor for Hymns from Nineveh: Yesterday, Sister Sorrowsong became a contender for the popular hit list at Danish national Radio, P3. It’s called Systemlisten, and all you have to do to help us, is clicking the tiny heart next to Sister Sorrowsong. This time, you don’t need to login or anything, just click the heart. Yeah.

A big hug and a thank you in advance,

Jonas the Hymnboy

High 5!

February 28, 2011 – 5:42 pm

High five, friends!

 

There are (at least!) 5 good pieces of news for you:

1) Hymns from Nineveh’s “Sister Sorrowsong”  is a contender on the Soundvenue-chart “High 5″! What an honor!

You can help Sister Sorrow enter the list, if you have a Soundvenue-profile.

So – a big THANK you if you do so.

2) Also – Soundvenue recommend Hymns from Nineveh’s forthcoming concerts in March. Hope to see you there!

3) There’s a large interview with The Hymnboy in today’s Kristeligt Dagblad, and you can read it all here (it’ll probably only make sense, if you speak Danish, sorry!).

4) My dear friend Jakob Brixen from the Hymnband has a soloproject called Mechanical Bird, well, you know that, but: Last sunday he made it to a 2nd place at the Danish national radio show Det Elektriske Barometer. You can help him to the top spot by clicking the hearts (you have to vote for 4 other artists as well!). I would be thrilled to see this beautiful bird fly over all the others.

5) We, the hymnband had a 6 hour rehearsal yesterday, and continue tonight. We are extremely excited about what we create together – and we look forward to the 11th of March. And the 12th. And the 13th.
That was 5 good things, wasn’t it?

All the best,

Jonas, the Hymnboy

Hi, friends!

I hope you are well. We’re having a good time here in the land of Hymns from Nineveh with the iTunes-charts ‘n’all, but most of all, we’re happy about the feedback we get from YOU guys.

Thank you so much!!

We’ve made a special radio-edit version of Sister Sorrowsong available on youtube. Hope you like it.

And – the acoustic performance from yesterday is also on youtube now.

Have a fantastic thursday.
