Metropolis

From the dark alleys of Copenhagen

About Me

Pressemeddelelse
Ud af alverdens gråd, dekadence og fortvivlelse voksede en by...
Når mørket falder på, viser byen Metropolis sit sande ansigt: Korruption, skæbnefortællinger fra alle samfundets lag og altings endeligt.
Her er nemlig hverken tale om byen fra Fritz Langs science fiction-klassiker fra 1927 eller Supermans hjemby.
Nej, i dette tilfælde er "Metropolis" hjemby for bandet af samme navn. Med en hybrid af en lang række instrumenter spændende fra klassiske rockinstrumenter til eksempelvis cello og saxofon, inviterer dette glade vanvid dig til en slendretur ned gennem hovedgaden i Metroplis, med afstikkere til skæbnebyens forskellige kvarterer.
For når det syv mand, heraf to kvinder, store band går på scenen, fortæller de utrolige og fortrolige historier fra byen.
Fire nætter med Ripper og Morrione
Historierne bliver tilsat musik, der blandt andet trækker på inspiration fra franske Jack The Ripper via Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds og filmmusikkomponisten Danny Elfman til spaghettiwesternens ubestridt største komponist, Ennio Morrione.
Alt sammen tilsat roots, folk- og rockmusik fra Balkan, Frankrig og Guds eget land, USA.
I starten af 2008 blev fire af disse fortællinger omsat til en EP-udgivelse, ”Four Nights”, som bandet har fået trykt og distribueret for egne penge.
Men der er mange flere nætter i Metropolis at fortælle om.
Så lad dig rive med af historierne fra Metropolis, når fortællingen tager fart indhyllet i butterfly og genreklicheer. Men husk at kigge dig over skulderen.
English coming soon!
"Not every night ends at dawn"
Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
