About Me


add LOCOBRIGIDA to your friends

due to the 5-song limitations at my-myspace, I've set up pages for both LOCOBRIGIDA and HÆST at mymusic.dk ... a 17-track retrospective collection of HÆST-material can be heard and downloaded (more details below)...
proud part-taker in LOCOBRIGIDA ... we aim to bring you songs about everyday-life and/or nothing-at-all in "less-is-more"-ish arrangements.. our songs are based on a hypnotic groove and topped with a cool hook and laid back non-vocal parts - LOCOBRIGIDA is yours truly in the cozy and talented company of NANA S ...
if you feel like listening to more Locobrigida-tracks, or download them for free - check out our photos, press-release, lyrics or read the blog - please visit www.myspace.com/locobrigida

HÆST featuring LAID BACK: "Tango (album version)"
.... from the album that was never released. features LAID BACK s John Guldberg and Tim Stahl as guests... Laid Back had worldwide hits with "White Horse", "Sunshine Reggae" and "Bakerman"... "Tango" also features BaSix wonder-vocal Anders Ørsager doing the highest vocals I've ever heard.... dogs outside the studio were running in circles, biting their own tails while Anders let rip.

in between work and parenthood, I tried to figure out how to get out of the studios and back into the living-room, coffee and smokes in hand - a head full of ideas a mouse-clic away... LOCOBRIGIDA is at the moment turning into a band!.. hrmm, well a duo, that is... by the help of laptop, Logic and late nights - NANA S is my cool partner in crime, we're working on a big bunch of new low-key "less is more"-ish kinda tracks you and your laptop can chill and dance to...
interupted by f1, N.Y. and honey on toast...
... stay tuned...
HÆST was a weird little thing, that sort of got bigger, almost but not quite got there, and then imploded... HÆST was the lyrics of Thomas Schøn and the music of Morten Langkilde & Umpff... from 99-03 we wrote many songs, some were even pretty good.. we gigged and recorded with the help of nice'n'talented people - the actual highlight and claim to fame being "Tango" by HÆST featuring Laid Back. Thomas and I have kept erh a low profile for the last couple of years, focusing mainly on growing garden plants and talking comics while drinking coffee - HÆST was finally put to sleep in 2005 - maybe the ghost of HÆST is now playing in the living-room?.....
a retrospective collection of HÆST-recordings, entitled "17 Gyldne Pærer" can be heard and downloaded at the HÆSTology -pages. guests on these recordings are, among others: Timo Vuoppola , David Elberling , Kasper Villaume , Jeppe Saugman , Thomas Hass , Jeppe Kjellberg , Jarkko Hakala and Jakob Thomhav .
Jon A aka JahBozo , previously with BANZAI REPUBLIC , now with CINEMA OF SOUND [CoS] did a remix of "Tango featuring Laid Back"- during several late-night smoke-ins at my previous home... it was great fun, a builder of headaches, sort of a red-eye-day on repeat... you can hear it here - as well as here (where you can also find more "Tango featuring Laid Back"-remixes for download or streaming)...
