About Me


My ramblings is over at Blogger.com
--- JEPPE BLOG.. / ..
My name is Jeppe

I sweat a lot and I love music.
I grew up in Denmark, so I speak Danish, not Dutch
I lived in London but they all kept telling me 'Cheer up, luv'
So I moved to LA and I cheered many times in Echo Park
A viking can only hold the sun for that long so now I am in Berlin to cool off
I've been travelling the world as the tall one in a duo called Junior Senior, which lead to meeting so many nice people
Now I am working on my first solo album
I'm writing it by myself but maybe later with some friends, maybe with some strangers, I don't know yet
I'm going to post a new song here very soon
I hope to get a band together and start playing this summer
I spend lots of time watching music clips on YouTube, watch my BLOG for good stuff
I also like to DJ 'cause then I get to dance to the songs I like the most, if you have any tips for some good songs to check out, let me know
Right now I'm listening to Appaloosa a lot, check them out

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/25/2004
Band Website: myspace.com/jeppe
Influences: A simple beat, two chords and a microphone. Big city life for a smalltown boy.
Sounds Like: Jeppe - 'Big Boy' (new song snippet)

Jeppe - 'Johnny Come Home'


PITCHFORK - Forkcast - link

"The vocals recall Curt Smith of Tears for Fears in full "Shout" mode, yet the song sounds more like an pop arena anthem that's part Music for the Masses, part Welcome to the Pleasure Dome. But either despite the grim material or because of it ("What is wrong with my life/ That I must get drunk every night?"), Jeppe manages to revisit the mid 80s while keeping the songs anchored in the dire present."

STEREOGUM - New Music - link

"The 1985 track sounds like 1985. Or the Faint. It also sounds good. And lines like "What is wrong in my life / I must get drunk every night" remain relevant for this upcoming weekend."

POPJUSTICE - Song Of The Day - link

"He's in an LA studio RIGHT NOW - Stone Temple Pilots are in the studio next door, which Jeppe describes as "very essential LA" - and is ready to tell you, the Popjustice viewer, what he is up to."

DAZED DIGITAL - Incoming - link

""I tried more or less everything with Jr/Sr I ever dreamed of," Jeppe told me in the back of a gay dive bar, "we played the main stage at Reading, Glastonbury, TOTP, Jools Holland and so on. So, I'm easily pleased to play in the back of a club really loud and intense!""
