PLATFORM II - 22 MAY 2008
On the 22nd of MAY one of the biggest current Danish acts and chart toppers Spleen United (DK) and the Belgian rockstars Hollywood Porn Stars (B) will play a gig together at a top secret location in Brussels. The style of the day is limited places and “invites only”!!! So if you wanna see two of Europe’s best bands in a very intimate but highly plugged setting then you better cross your fingers for an invitation…. We will say no more but: “Welcome to the 2nd edition of PLATFORM!”
PLATFORM… What concept?
PLATFORM is, as the name indicates, a new platform for the exchange of pop, rock, indie, alternative and electro artists/bands between Belgium and Denmark. The aim of PLATFORM is to expose new upcoming Danish bands to Belgian music lovers and expose new Belgian bands to Danish music lovers. Three times annually an established Danish band/artist and an established Belgian band/artist who both still await their international break-through will hook up and play gigs together in Denmark and Belgium.
The PLATFORM gigs in Belgium make use of unusual surprise locations. The concerts in Denmark will take place at Lades Kælder, Copenhagen, and Musikcafeen in Aarhus or via prominent support jobs.
PLATFORM I = Music Export
On the 18th of January 2008 PLATFORM “I “ took place when As in RebekkaMaria (DK) feat. JOJO DJ Team (DK) played a sold out show in front of a 200 people crowd at the Danish Cultural Institute in Brussels, which had been turned into a venue for the night together with one of Belgium’s finest rock bands, namely Mud Flow (B). As in RebekkaMaria furthermore played a night club show at “the wax club” on Saturday the 19th of January. The 2 Belgian shows were followed by Mud Flow concerts in Denmark on 27th of March @ Lades Kaelder and the 28th of March @ Musikcafeen. Today As in RebekkaMaria enjoys airplay on Studio Brussel, have landed a booking deal with Stage Mania and just played at the AB on the 3rd of May… In short the concept’s working.
