Blitzgigs.de proudly presents the latest edition of Nordllicht Klub which has now taken up residency at Berlin’s Privat Club which re-opened its doors a couple of weeks ago after moving to Skalitzer Str and creating its new home in an even better location, it’s just like the old Privat Club except bigger and the sound is even better.
Nordlicht Klub is the brainchild of Berlin’s Fr Records; they boldly proclaim to be The Scandinavian Sound In town and they’re not lying either. This week they’ve got two great bands from Denmark; the excellent psych-poppers Death Valley Sleepers and Den Fjerde Vaeg whose absolutely charming indie-pop has that effect Sigur Ros has on you…you don’t care that you can’t understand the lyrics cos it’s so good. We’ll see you there.
Here’s some bio for Death Valley Sleepers and below that videos galore:
Death Valley Sleepers was initially created in 2008 by the singer and guitarist Tobias Winberg when he began recording demos of 60’ies-inspired pop songs alone in his bedroom. Before that the Danish musician had left his childhood home on a small and idyllic island and moved to Copenhagen to work as a producer for a renowned hip hop label.
But in stark contrast to his earlier works, Death Valley Sleepers has very little to do with hip hop beats, gold chains or grillz. Instead Death Valley Sleepers is derived from the singer’s year old fascination with 60′ies pop songs. A sugar sweet and psychedelic pop nestled in subtle clouds of sligthe noisy reverbs that depicts an elusive world of youthful escapism, carefreeness, love, lust and repressed desires. The band name itself is taken from the hot and dusty Californian valley in which rock stars went to experiment with drugs.
