ACHTUNG SKY COLLECTION

Dansk

Achtung Sky består af tre utroligt erfarne musikere, som alle har deres rødder i København og en lang historie på den danske musikscene. Bandnavnet er en hyldest til Lars Bjerre og hans undergrundsspillested Achtung Cowboy, som var aktivt i kælderlokalerne på Valdemarsgade på Vesterbro i København fra 90'erne og op til 2003.

Bagom Thor Vincents analoge synthesizere og Jack Giersings højspændte guitarer holder en af Danmarks mest ikoniske trommeslagere, Tomas Ortved, det urokkelige beat.

Jack Giersing og Tomas Ortved har et langvarigt venskab og samarbejde med hinanden, som går tilbage over 20 år, hvor de bl.a har spillet sammen i Alive With Worms og på det andet album af Tomas Ortved, "Catch" fra 2012. De udgav deres første EP i 2014, "Never", som også blev titlen på deres efterfølgende samarbejde som duo.

Thor Vincent, der tuner de analoge synthesizers, har længe arbejdet sammen med de nævnte musikere bag kulisserne, både som musiker og som indspilningstekniker. Nu bringer han bandets lyd til et helt nyt niveau.

Tomas Ortved, bedst kendt som trommeslager i det legendariske Sort Sol (Sods), har tidligere også arbejdet med bands som bl.a Cyklon Anti CyklonAlive With Worms, Nikolaj Nørlund og Peter Sommer, og i 2014 blev han bl.a kaldt ind til at slå på trommerne med Lee Ranaldo and The Dust (Sonic Youth) på deres Skandinavia turné.

English

Achtung Sky consists of three incredibly experienced musicians, all of whom have their roots in Copenhagen and a long history on the Danish music scene. The band name is a tribute to Lars Bjerre and his underground venue Achtung Cowboy, which was active in the basement premises on Valdemarsgade in Vesterbro in Copenhagen from the 90s up to 2003. - (for more background information, please, follow the links in in the danish version above)

Jack Giersing and Tomas Ortved have been close friends and musical collaborators for over two decades. They have shared the stage in various bands such as Alive With Worms and even worked together on Tomas Ortved's second album, "Catch," which was released in 2012. Their musical journey continued in 2014 with the release of their debut EP, "Never," which not only showcased their incredible chemistry but also became the inspiration for their subsequent duet collaboration.

Behind the scenes, Thor Vincent plays a crucial role in shaping the band's sound. As a skilled musician and recording technician, he has been instrumental in fine-tuning the analog synthesizers, taking the band's music to new heights and pushing boundaries.

Tomas Ortved, a masterful drummer recognized for his exceptional talent in the esteemed band Sort Sol (Sods), possesses an extraordinary track record. Apart from his remarkable contributions to Sort Sol, he has engaged in fruitful collaborations with renowned artists like Cyklon Anti Cyklon, Alive With Worms, Nikolaj Nørlund, and Peter Sommer.
