Navid Modiri & Gudarna tillbaka med nytt album och turné
Den 18/9 släpper Navid Modiri & Gudarna sitt mycket efterlängtade album ”Ska du verkligen skjuta ner månen med den där?” – deras första fullängdare sen 2008.
Efter tre album och idoga turnerande bestämde sig bandet under 2009 att det var dags för en paus. Navid blev pappa. Povel åkte runt jorden och spelade med Robyn. Kristofer startade en egen studio. Christian spelade i Palestina. Conrad släppte en soloskiva och Jacob startade en webbyrå.
Det var inte förrän inför Ung Cancers fest i december 2012 som bandet återförenades för att göra en spelning. Inför spelningen låste bandmedlemmarna in sig i studion för att repa in sina gamla låtar. Istället för att komma ut välrepade kom de ut välrepade och med 14 nya låtar. Ett första smakprov kom i våras i form av singeln ”Någon håll i mig” och om ett par dagar släpps singel nummer två i form av ”Det är inte lätt”.
För att fira albumsläppet kommer bandet göra ett fåtal exklusiva releasefester i början av oktober för att sedan fylla på schemat senare i höst och under nästa år.
4/10 – Lund, Mejeriet (Biljetter)
10/10 – Göteborg, Musikens Hus (Biljetter)
12/10 – Stockholm, Kulturhuset (Studion) (Biljetter släpps på 22/8)
Danko Jones featured in Kick-Ass 2
Friday the 16th sees the official premiere of Kick-Ass 2 and with a cast including Jim Carrey this time around it is predicted to be an even bigger success than the much heralded first movie.
It is with great pride we can now announce that one of the most significant scenes in the film is played out to the sound of the classic Danko Jones song “Dance” – off their 2003 album “We Sweat Blood”. This follows a long line of prominent placements for the band – including songs featured in True Blood, CSI:NY and EA Sports NHL 2011 to name a few.
Needless to say, the song is also included on the movie’s official soundtrack and was also the musical theme of the film’s first trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ekram9md95k
