Pardans:
Hailing from the Copenhagen “Mayhem-scene”, Pardans are equal parts Spiritual- Jazz fuckery and D.C. hardcore and whatever might have become of Ric Ocasek’s take on late-70’s teenage optimism, when it inevitably fell into the cinematic lap of Ricki Lake-era John Waters. Having met in a Copenhagen dole queue the week following their high school graduation, Jazz saxophonist Daniel Honoré, punk-drummer Oskar Dinesen and MIDI composer turned crooner, Gustav Berntsen, began Pardans by performing orchestral Goth-Punk, eventually finding an audience in Copenhagen’s DIY live- music scene.
The line-up was expanded to include apprentice sommelier, Rasmus Hastrup on bass, as well as, neo-classical double act, Patrick Rathbun and Rasmus Skovmose on viola and guitar. A deal with cult French label Third Coming soon followed, culminating in Pardans’ 2016 debut; Heaven, Treason, Women.
The band quickly found themselves on international tours with Iceage, sharing a headline London show with Black Country New Road and performing critically acclaimed sets at festivals across Europe and the UK.
2018 saw the release of the irony-baked, carnival-themed sophomore album, Spit and Image; a project that by March 2020, would see the band descend into an indefinite, pandemic-plagued hiatus, as well as the eventual departure of members Rathbun and Skovmose.
Pardans returned in 2022 with sold-out shows at Copenhagen’s Mayhem and London’s Shacklewell Arms. In November they toured the UK for 10 days, where they debuted new songs from their upcoming 70’s Highway-Rock does Jazz-Punk inspired 3rd album “Peak Happiness”.
Peak Happiness is released on February 3, 2023. Singles “Warp Speed”, “Cringe City” and “Worldslide” out now.

+ Support: Worried Sick
Worried Sick er David Muusholms solo-projekt igennem de sidste par år, men nu kan der endelig åbnes en dør til de flydende toner fra et ungt menneskes sårbare verden. I lyden findes mange finurlige kompositioner hvor wobblende guitar og en særlig porøs vokal skaber rammerne for et univers vi alle har stiftet bekendtskab til i teenageårene. Nyudgivet EP i starten af 2023.
Hul:
Hul sætter fokus på den rå, upolerede del af rocken, som skærer ind til benet på genren. Vi sætter udpræget fokus på kunstnerens energi og attitude i livesammenhæng, og præsenterer navne som kommer så stærkt ud over scenen, at publikum bliver blæst bagover.
