FRA STILLESTED TIL SPILLESTED

Aalborgs legendariske aktivitetshus og spillested, 1000Fryd, er lukningstruet og har brug for din hjælp! Som følge af en naboklage skal huset gennemgå en massiv renovering, der løber op i flere millioner, og de penge har 1000Fryd ikke.

Stedet har de sidste 40 år haft uvurderlig betydning for Aalborg som by og for alverdens musikalske undergrundsscener både nationalt og internationalt. Det hele er båret oppe af de hundredvis af frivillige ildsjæle, der igennem årene har engageret sig i og udviklet sig med stedet.

1000Fryd er vigtigere end nogensinde og vil gøre alt for at overleve, men vi har brug for din støtte.

For the past 40 years, the place has been of inestimable importance for Aalborg as a city and for many different underground music scenes, both nationally and internationally. All made possible by the hundreds of passionate volunteers who over the years have engaged in and developed with the place.

Volcano, Im still excited (us) + I love you baby (s)
Noget med galskab og svedebnd. Behver man vide mere...

"Through the use of a keyboard, a guitar, and a double bass drum (but no bass), the three members of Volcano, I'm Still Excited!!'s deftly compose unconventional, yet catchy pop songs--throw in a dash of Elvis Costello, Jonathan Richman, and a mix of Spoon and you'll begin to get the idea. Their must-see live performances include songs in rounds, sweatbands, aerobic workouts, and any other impromptu device that further draws the crowd into their performances. And the name? Some say it's a tribute to Tom Hanks' Joe Versus the Volcano, others say it's some sort of bizarre mantra/rallying cry, others say it's a merely a random stream of consciousness phrase. Either way, Volcano, I'm Still Excited!!'s style is all their own and their rise to existence is as unusual as their non-sequitur name.

In 1998 Mark Duplass, lead singer/organist of Volcano, I'm Still Excited!!, released his solo debut album Small Hands, and toured the United States armed solely with an acoustic guitar, selling over 1,000 CDs from the back of his conversion van. After a demo deal with Polygram's Mercury Records, and another successful solo release, Mark moved from Austin to NYC to tour and conquer the Northeast. Things would not quite work out the way they had been planned. Within six weeks of his NYC arrival, Mark was diagnosed with severe tendonitis in both arms and was informed that he would never be able to play guitar again without further damaging his wrists. Crestfallen and still wanting to remain involved with music, he enrolled with the City College of New York in Harlem to study composition. Then, he found a Casio organ that cost him $10. It was the first instrument he could play relatively pain-free.

In Winter 2002, using the compositional theories he had learned at CCNY as the template, Mark began home recording on an 8-track and Dictaphone. Tracking all of the instruments himself (including guitar), he was successfully able to self-record albeit only in short, five-minute intervals. These songs were then sent to longtime friend, producer, and guitarist Byron Westbrook who was still living in Austin. On a trip back from Christmas vacation in Louisiana, Byron played the tape for drummer John Thmoas Robinette III and the two soon concocted a scheme to form a band with Mark. Six months later, the three found themselves in Austin, fleshing out and realizing the song structures that had been brought to the table. These sessions resulted in Carbon Copy, Volcano, I'm Still Excited!!'s debut EP. They began touring immediately, rapidly building an East Coast and Midwestern fanbase.

With their third tour on Carbon Copy, Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! found themselves playing Champaign, Illinois' Highdive. Josef Robey, formerly of Napster and the same person who initially turned Polyvinyl onto Mates of State, sent everyone out to the show. Despite a bad case of the flu that ended up cutting the rest of the tour short, Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! floored everyone in attendance. After the show, the band crashed at the Polyvinyl offices and a warm friendship soon ensued.

Two months later Polyvinyl made the decision to the release the band's debut full-length. Guitarist Craig Montoro, who spent the summer recording with Mates of State on 2003's Team Boo, was brought aboard after Byron left the band to pursue other projects. The band, now living in Brooklyn, convened in Austin once again in early October 2003 to record at Music Lane with engineer Andy Sharp (Mates of State). Pure and simple, these songs are not to be missed. To say the Volcano masters have been in steady rotation since they arrived would be an understatement. See the band live, and you'll walk away knowing you just saw something special. Hear what it's all about when Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! hits record shelves everywhere in the United States in February, 2004. In June the record is released all over Europe, and it will be followed by an extensive European tour in August and September. In other words, Volcano is about erupt"

og lidt om svensken...

"The band was formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1998 inspired by bands like Kraftwerk, Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Stereolab and Le Tigre. The originally set-up was Jeanette, Haakan, Nina and Christoffer on guitars, A-C on drums and Jessica on a Juno-2...After just some month rehearsal we went in to a studio and recorded our first demo...it sounds...shitty. We had our first concerts...a bit chaotic since none of us was prepared...or in some case too prepared...Haakan and Jeanette was married...A second demo was recorded....yet the sound was not what we wanted...The band split up...Nina, Jeanette and Haakan continued.... searching for a drummer...Staffan joined... In 2001 we was touring in Euskadi (Basque State) in the north of Spain for two months playing at bars and gastexeas (occupied buildings). After living in the van and tent for so long we split up. Nina and Staffan decided to leave the band... Line up 2003: Jeanette: vocals, Martin: guitars, Ando: keyboard, Haakan: bass. During 02/03 weve been playing at the Sthlm university, The Rookie Festival, Hultsfredsfestivalen, Debaser (supporting Mono from Japan). In September we was supporting Vive La Fete from Belgium. In the beginning the songs was recorded in a copple of studios with a lot of help of Istvn Stenberg and Ingela Haakansson...but now we record all our songs in our livingroom - the Babyroom...The plans for autumn 03 is to record a new demo...and play a lot..."
