From Karin’s presentation:

I’m a jeans-girl – just can’t help it! Besides that i’m studying at the school of architecture in Aarhus. By the time this competition runs out, I will hopefully be an architect! These jeans will follow me night and day in the last dreadful month’s in school. And whether I pass or fail they will picture the process!”

Ever since a couple of us saw Band of Horses at SXSW in Austin, TX in 2006 we have been playing the records frequently in the office and the stores. The YouTube clip is from when Band of Horses played at Way Out West last summer. Excellent gig. Ben Bridwell was looking good in his new shirt!

The show in Göteborg April 17th is hosted by our friends at Woody West and Luger sold out in 8 minutes… Welcome back!
