HI biography reader.
At the age of 12, I had enough of family problems, (my mother had schizophrenic tendencies), and was strongly medicated. Therefore I asked to be sent to a children’s home. Shortly thereafter I was sent to a children’s home in the Danish town of Slagelse with my guitar and boxing gloves with me. There I heard ”Hey Joe” by Jimi Hendrix, and a fantastic guitarist by the name of Frank Zappa for the first time, and then I was hooked. My roommate trained and trained, and became junior DM champion in boxing, and I struggled and trained on my half-acoustic Jedson guitar, wearing the thing down.
In 1975 I formed the band ”Sunshine Explosion” together with two friends. In 1977 we came first and later second in an amateur talent competition that covered the island ”Amager” (about 160.000 inhabitants) where we lived, and still do. In 1982-86 I played in an acid band called ”Prudence”. We played countless concerts in the so-called central kitchen (a sort of public kitchen/eating-place), and on the roof of a concert building called “Nemoland” both in a community called “Christiania” in Copenhagen. “Christiania” was an old abandoned military base that hundreds of people moved into (toke into possession) in an effort to create an independent autonomic “city”. This “city” still exists today but in a more close relation to the government.
In 1985 I played bass in a band called “Helping Hand blues Band”, that also played in a place called “Månefiskeren” (The moon fisher) in Christiania. The band also went to a concert trip to Sweden, and played in two festivals “Tønder festival”, and in a place called “Front huset” under “Århus festuge” (Aarhus festuge is a week of celebration in the next biggest town I Denmark). Both events were in Jutland that is den Danish mainland that is land fast with Germany. Later the guitarist “Finn” and drummer “Lars” and my self had a Blues gig in the famous “Ungdomshuset” (youth house) that was a building in the center of Copenhagen, that was occupied by a bunch of autonomic youths). The house has been in the medias a number of times because the police tried to evacuate the building several times. Just recently they succeeded with it, end tore down the building.
In 1989-92 I played guitar in a band called “Lady Layla`s Caravan”. We played in the central kitchen in Christiania, and participated in opened one of the three new stages in an old cinema building. At that time the building was suppose to be used as a chopping mall. Our band participated in the series of concerts and smaller music events as part of a plan to make officials realize that our island needed a building for cultural events, and not just a f…… mall, and hurray We wan. The building “Amagerbio” still exists today as a concert building in which cool concerts are held. We also played at the “Korsør Festival” (city festival week) in 1989.
Later in 1989 a was part of a “A pedal-to-the-metal-band”. No singing. Only bear and us guys. We had a single gig in a place by the Copenhagen waterfront by the name of Christianshavn. Between 1992 and 1994 I wasn’t part of any band. I began taking an interest in computers, so in that period I experimented with recording and manipulating music on my computer, but still playing guitar and making new music.
In 1994-98 I power practiced 3-4 years in a band called “Sally Drumhead”. All the time I played the numbers that was to complex, or didn’t fit in the different bands repertoire.
A few years ago I came up with the idea of creating the concept “The Lonely Harddisk Band” witch isn’t actually a band but me fiddling around with music on my computer. On my website http://skullstudio.homepage.dk/ I have placed some examples of the creations along with some old cassette tape recordings from the time with ”Lady Layla`s Caravan” in mp3 format.
Here in 2008 I playing my guitar over some badass hardcore Rap songs from the underground music scene in Kansas USA. Sinister From Psych Ward 913 & Perverse. Killa City Entertainment ~ Alien MegaSkull Mix. For listen to that great experiment, please stay or goto this Danish webpage.
