Vinterjazz Festival at Stengade

It’s February which means it’s time for Vinterjazz Festival once more!

Last night we kicked things off with a skewed heavy mixture of math rock, jazzy playfulness and post modern punkjazz where Town Portal and Jeppe Zeeberg and the Absolute Pinnacle of Human Achievement brought the house down! For the rest of the month we got six more Vinterjazz shows for you, if you dare……

08/02: I Think You’re Awesome - Indie Jazz
About: Throughout their almost 15 years together as a band I Think You're Awesome has been one of the most creative and leading Danish jazz groups as they blend jazz, indie, country, afro and pop. Concerts with I Think You're Awesome are heartwarming, humorous and joyful experiences, still daring to articulate and tackle life's challenges.

10/02: Agabas [NO] + Oxx - Death Jazz & Avanthardcore
About: Extreme metal and jazz in disgusting harmony. It's called deathjazz and, yes, it is as insane as it sounds. The roaring jazz saxophone solos its way across landscapes of blast beats and chugging just as effortlessly as it joins in on the groovy guitar riffs, creating a unique dynamic of metal and jazz that can only be described as the Agabas experience. Oxx is a danish avant-hardcore band; a distillation of it’s three members’ diverse backgrounds in genres as diverse as bluegrass, death metal, free-folk and film scoring all filtered through the confrontational aggression of hardcore. The result is a maelstrom of undulating tempos and meters, relentless vocal frenzy and flailing limbs.

15/02: The Lovecraft Sextet [NL] + Special Guest: ANGST Sessions [SE]
About: Join us for an atmospheric dark jazz journey when The Lovecraft Sextet with Jason Köhnen himself (Bong-Ra / Mansur / The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble / The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation) visit Stengade as part of the Vinterjazz Festival 2024. ANGST Sessions make slow dark repetitive melancholic avant garde music. During sessions with my modular instruments from Buchla & Serge finding interesting textures, timbres in spatial time and space. Recording one takers and multitrack on top of that and combine that with old wooden synths and string machines like minimoog, EMS Synthi, Solina… Drenched in tape delays, phaser, flanger, delay and reverb. Mimic nature's harsch and grim way of creating pulsating life and later decay and eternal darkness.

17/02: Immortal Onion x Michal Jan [PL] + Support: Pater
About: Come along when Poland's newest rising star in jazz visits Stengade. Immortal Onion has teamed up with Michal Jan where they mix instrumental playfulness and jazz electronic fusion with influences from math rock and prog music. Pater warms up with an intense live experience, where winds, percussion, samples and synth turn our expectations of pop upside down.

If you are into acts like Svaneborg Kardyb, Badbadnotgood, The Comet Is Coming, Portico Quartet or Mammal Hands, give Immortal Onion a listen!

Unfortunately HotWax had to cancel their appearance at Sorte Firkant Festival, we hope to be able to present them at another time in the future.

We have worked hard to get a replacement for them and we are happy to announce that The Courettes will be stepping into the slot at Stengade on Friday at 11pm!

The Courettes:
The Danish/Brazilian explosive rock duo The Courettes have found the perfect mix between garage rock, 60’s Girl Groups, Wall of Sound, surf music and doo wop. With this explosive cocktail, the duo has thrilled reviewers and audiences worldwide.

Last Names for Sorte Firkant Festival announced!

It is with great pleasure we can announce the last remaining acts for Sorte Firkant Festival today!
We are pleased to add HotWax - She Can’t Afford Mascara - Puke Wolf. You can also get an overview of the timeplan for the festivals below and venue overview.

HotWax - Teenage punk powerhouse HotWax are ripping up the template and ripping up stages & festivals in the UK and beyond. Forging post-punk, grunge and alternative rock, Tallulah Sim-Savage (vocals and guitar), Lola Sam (bass) and Alfie Sayers (drums) have created a rarified live energy and sound that has already won the support of Courtney Love, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beck, Nova Twins, Wolf Alice & Zane Lowe. HotWax harness the firepower of the grunge pioneers, with great songwriting and musicianship, they possess the imaginative brilliance to stake out a new landscape in guitar music as they release Alan Moulder mixed (Wet Leg, QOTSA) EP ‘Invite me, kindly’ this October.

She Can’t Afford Mascara - “She Cant Afford Mascara” was born out of a need of south asian representation for the Underground goth scene in Europe. The artist Adam Shazard behind the solo projekt started working as a clubkid in nightlife scene at 14. Without any money and a non supporting muslim family, they would have to steal cosmetics. In order to express them self and forfill the lifestyle they wished to become. And therefore the name “She Cant Afford Mascara” came. Mascara is a field full of melodramatic depressed truth about pakistani goth trauma .The art of delusion and glamour you meet in sticky dancefloors in the scene.

Puke Wolf - Puke Wolf play emotional post-hardcore using their music to vent frustrations and aversions for our modern, heartless society. The music can oftentimes seem chaotic and uncontrollable, but in the midst of the storm there will always be a melodic or rhythmic anchor to keep the listener grounded. Melancholy will always be at the center - wear your heart on your sleeve - it’s okay if it hurts.

On the 2nd-3rd of February you can once again experience a wide bouquet of names from the Danish and international underground. This time the festival takes place at STENGADE, RUST, STØBERIET, UNION and BLÅGÅRDEN'S LIBRARY. All venues within a short walking distance of each other.
