Dear friends

Even though we’ve been awefully quiet the past month or so, it’s definitely not because of inactivity.

Our 5 weeks tour around Denmark is over and it was an amazing experience for us to make it to every corner of our beautiful little country. We visited small towns that we’ve never been to before and it was an absolute pleasure. So many dedicated and friendly people at the venues and in the crowds. THANK YOU SO MUCH Denmark for enjoying our first DK-tour with us.

When we played in Odense, Danish magazine Gaffa stopped by and wrote this five stars review of our show (in Danish).

So now we’re back in Copenhagen and work on getting ready for 2012. We have plenty of plans for the new year and we hope to be able to present some of them very soon.

But as a starter we would like to ask for a little help. After touring for five weeks we’re almost sold out of T-shirts. Hence we need new ones and therefor we’re organizing a T-shirt competition with desirable and attractive prizes (ta-dah!).

WHAT TO DO:

1. Design an extremely cool T-shirt that you think could represent Alcoholic Faith Mission.

2. Send us your suggestion(s) to t-shirt(a)alcoholicfaithmission.com before Friday December 23rd at noon.

3. The winner will be announced on January 1st and will have his/hers design printed on our new merchandise that will travel with us around the World. Also a goodiebag filled with good things will be send the winner’s way.

We look forward to receive your ideas and hopefully to be able to present dates for 2012 soon.

much love,
Sune, Gustav, Thorben, Morten, Anders & Kristine

Friends,

The day has finally come where we get to share our new songs with you live.

We kick off the Danish tour on Thursday Sept. 29th in Slagelse.
Our good friends from Deer Bear will join us on this tour and we can’t wait to get started.

We’ll also celebrate the release on Oct. 6th at LYST in Jægersborggade, Nørrebro, Copenhagen.
Feel free to pop in from 7 p.m. and get your very own copy of ASK ME THIS and have a beer on us.
(or pre-order it now from our webshop)

Since we’re not releasing the album in the US and EU until Jan. 2012 we’d like to share a brand new video to INTO PIECES.

We sincerely hope this will keep the AFM urge at bay till then, for everyone not in Denmark :-)

Good stuff people… – we can’t wait to see you all!

We are very very happy to announce that our new album is finally done and will be released in Denmark on October 3rd.

All for now…

…both weatherwise and festivalwise.

In Copenhagen it has been raining non-stop the past four days and as for the summer tour we have only two festivals left:

August 19th: Alive Festival – Thy (DK)
September 10th: Stairway Festival – Vanløse (DK)

In spite of the lack of summer sun this summer has been ever so memorable to AFM. We’ve gone to some of the coolest festivals and played some of our best and most amazing concerts.

Luckily our ever so talented Sune has made sure to take pictures of some of the beautiful people that we’ve met and played before during the summer. Here’s a small selection from the Alcoholic Faith Mission summer:

At Siesta! Festival (Hässleholm, SE) we were thrilled by the ambitious and dedicated cheering, dancing and head banging from the audience despite a sweltering heat. Amazing job guys, thank you!

Peace & Love Festivalen (Borlänge, SE) is the biggest festival in Sweden. And indeed it was big!! And indeed we felt the love… If it hadn’t been for next day’s gig at Roskilde it would definitely had been a good place to stay for more beers, music and love.

As a Danish band the maiden gig at Roskilde Festival (Roskilde, DK) is always something special! We enjoyed every bit of it and was overwhelmed by all the people showing up to our concert and afterwards the good responses we received.

Definitely a high light in the band history. The concert was recorded and you can listen to it here.

First concert for AFM in Latvia was at Positivus Festival (Salacgriva, LV), where we were immensely surprised to find that people knew our songs! Friendly people everywhere og the beers were cheap FTW.

Sune has taken a shitload of pictures and you can see the latest pictures right here!

That’s all for now. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came out to any of our shows and made our summer SO amazing in spite of the lack of sun.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Last week we experienced what every Danish rock musician must term as a milestone in a musical career; the debut at Denmark’s biggest rock festival, Roskilde. This was indeed a dream come true and the debut was everything we had hoped it to be; amazing atmosphere and lots af happy music loving people. We are very gratefull that so many people picked us over both Iron Maiden and PJ Harvey. You all made it a very special night.

Watch the review (in Danish) here.

We don’t have a lot of pictures yet, but once Sune has devoloped the last film roll, pictures will be uploaded. Stay tuned…

Next weekend, on July 16th, we’re playing at the Latvian festival Positivus in Salacgriva. It’s going to be our first time in Latvia so we’re very excited!

As another good thing we’re very happy to report that our pending album is progressing. The release will be some time during fall. More details will be announced asap. All we can say at this point is that we very happy about the new stuff and we can’t wait to present it to y’all.

Hope you’re all enjoying the summer as much as we are, and remember you can still buy both CDs and merch in our brand new webshop. Check it out!

All for now… Enjoy the sun.

Good things,
Gustav, Anders, Morten, Thorben, Sune & Kristine

It’s definitely time for a little update… We’ve been awefully quiet for the past month or so. Reason is that we’ve been busy finishing the recordings for our pending album and preparing the two gigs at Peace & Love Festival (SE) and Roskilde Festival (DK).

This Wednesday we play 6.15 pm at the Athena Stage at Peace & Love and Thursday we play 9.30 pm at the Pavilion Stage at Roskilde. We’re immensely excited to make it to these two festivals and especially Roskilde has a special meaning in the band as we’ve all been to Roskilde as regular audience for years.

The Danish newspaper Politiken made a video reportage from one of our rehersals. Watch it HERE!

At Roskilde we have also been invited to do one of the famous Copenhagen X Sessions. Copenhagen X Sessions film acoustic versions of different Danish bands and both Monkey Cup Dress, CODY and Sleep Party People (good friends, red.) have proved that the result can turn out stunning.

Another preparation that we’ve been digging into recently is the making of a new music video for one of our new songs. One late night we met up with Allan Bestle, one of our good friends, and his allies, and had our faces painted. This is what it looked like:

As one last thing we’d like to share with you all, we have been confirmed for Danish festival Alive on August 19th. Alive Festival takes place in Thy, Morten’s childhood fields… We all look forward to learn about drummer boy’s roots.

See you at Roskilde!?

Dear all

First of all we would like to thank everyone who came to our concerts at Loppen last thursday and especially to all the people that made it to Musikhuset at the SPOT festival this Saturday.

At SPOT we were scheduled to play at the big stage that fits more than 1600 sitting audiences. As an experienced live band it takes something to make us astounded, but this set up made it! WOW… This was definitely one of our most overwhelming experiences as a band. Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much to you who took part.

Tonight we’re playing at Skive Festival at 6pm and tomorrow we play at Siesta! Festivalen in Hässleholm at 4pm. The sun is shining and the festival season has finally begun. Life is good!

One last thing is an interview we did when we were at SXSW in Texas. Here we met up with the good people from the TriState Indie Blog and the result is here. Enjoy!

All for now. Enjoy the sun…

/Morten, Thorben, Gustav, Anders, Sune & Kristine

…that Alcoholic Faith Mission will be playing at this year’s Roskilde Festival (DK).

Through the years we’ve all been to this festival many times, hence it’s a great pleasure to finally take part as a performing band. We’re very very excited!

Time and date TBA.

Also, it made us immensely thrilled to learn that our amazing video for My Eyes to See, made by director Matthew Thompson, just won “Award of Excellence” & “Best Cinematography” at the Los Angeles Movie Awards. We’re really proud to have taken part of such a talented and well-executed project. Watch the award winning video once again right here!

Last but not least a new remix that we did for Japanese artist Sourin has been released through our Japanese label Quince Records. Sourin plays My Bloody Valentine and M83 inspired electronica. So, check it out and hear Thorben and Kristine’s endeavours to sing in Japanese here.

That’s all the good news for now!

Hope to see you at Loppen, Copenhagen on Thursday or at SPOT Festival in Aarhus on Saturday.

good things,
Thorben, Morten, Anders, Sune, Gustav & Kristine
