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!

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

The crazyness continues..

February 23, 2011 – 12:12 pm

Hi, folks!

This morning, very early morning, Hymns from Nineveh played on Danish national television. It was our first TV appearance ever, so we were a tiny bit nervous (mildly put).

You can watch it HERE!

Thank you so much for your kind words – they are very much appreciated!!

All the best,

Party Party

February 22, 2011 – 9:42 am

Hi, everyone,

We released the album yesterday, and you made the miracle happen: It went directly to the top spot as the best selling album on iTunes!

I can’t thank you enough.

So – now we’re throwing you a release party. It will be the third of March at Ideal Bar in Copenhagen. Free entrance. Hymns from Nineveh will play a small, acoustic show (without drumz and bazz – that’ll have to wait till the tour!).

My dear friends in Mechanical Bird and my friend RebekkaMaria will be there as well, and play some of their lovely tunes. You can tjeck out the Facebook-event here.

Mechanical Bird is Jakob Brixen’s solo project, as you may know – and he’s a contender for Danish National Radio’s hitlist “Det Elektriske Barometer”. Go listen and vote for him – just by klicking the hearts (you must vote for 4 more artists).
That’s it.

Hope you enjoy the record.

With love,

Jonas the Hymnboy

Practice with the band

February 6, 2011 – 12:15 pm

Hi, readers!

Something exciting is happening in the land of Hymns from Nineveh: we’re practicing for the springtour! We’re in the final stage of the booking, so it will be only a short while before I can say something about the concerts – but you might wonder who “we” are?

Well, those of you, who have been attending a Hymns from Nineveh-concert in 2010, might recognize these three lovely people:

Christel Voldby Winther - violin & vocal

Jakob Brixen - banjo, singing saw, accordion & vocal

Nikolaj Paakjær Mikkelsen - piano, glockenspiel, percussion & vocal

Christel has actually been playing live with me in Hymns from Nineveh since 2007, Nikolaj and Jakob (who I call Niko & Jake) came along in late 2009. I’m very greatful that these three beauties still want to play with me. They’re extraordinaryly creative with their instruments and their ideas – maybe because they are songwriters themselves. Christel makes I et stille hus, Jakob makes Mechanical Bird and Nikolaj makes Even if it’s me!

Sometimes we’ve been lucky to have company by one of my dearest and most talented friends, Mikael Kærsgaard of Munich and Kites & Komets. He’s a guitar virtuoso and a lovely man (and has a beard that makes any man in the room jealous!)

So – Christel, Jakob and Nikolaj, and occasionally Mikael, have been playing with me for quite a while now. But – the last couple of weeks we’ve been practicing with yet two more people – making the live constellation of Hymns from Nineveh a SEXTETTE!!!

The two musicians are none other than…. read more »
