BEVAR 1000FRYD! (ENGLISH BELOW)

Vi har fået påbud fra kommunen om, at vi ikke længere må spille højt til koncerter - i praksis vil vi ikke længere kunne spille livemusik, hvilket er grundlaget for vores driftstøtte og eksistens.

Nabobygningen er opført med utilstrækkelig lydisolering, og under byggeriet advarede vi om, at det kunne føre til problemer, og det er nu gået i opfyldelse.

Vi har en underskriftskampagne her - https://www.skrivunder.net/bevar_1000fryd


SAVE 1000FRYD!

We have received a request from the municipality, stating that we can no longer play loud music at concerts - this means in practice that we can no longer play livemusic, which is the bedrock of our existence.

The neighboring apartments have bad sound isolation, which is something we warned about, when they constructed it.

There is a signature campaign here - https://www.skrivunder.net/bevar_1000fryd

Moments

Throughout the past 40 years, many people have had personal and shared experiences at 1000fryd!

We want to save 1000fryd, because it is full of history and it contributes greatly to the cultural life in Aalborg.

Gesundheit (can) + La casa fantom (n)
Hvem husker ikke DoMakeSayThink fra koncerten for små fire år siden!! Nu kommer så Brian Krams sideprojekt Gesundheit, som skam også er ganske uforglemmelig. En god sund blanding af Canadisk metalrock, Miles Davis på trompet, en snert Sepultura, og en god omgang Socrates møder the Melvins.

Forvirret?.. Det er der ganske god grund til. Vi snakker teatralsk tung rock blandet med trompet og udklædning.

Med i købet er La Casa Fantom fra det norske, som sidst var i nærområdet i februar med vennerne fra Blitz. Et to-mands angreb på bas og tromme. Så er der lagt i kakkelovnen, hvad man så egentlig skal der....

"..."The first time I heard Gesundheit, at their Lee's Palace CD release party last November, I pretended I was blindfolded and happily allowed myself to be enveloped by their beautiful Melvinsesque bludgeoning. But I wondered, "How do they get a wounded dinosaur to wail along in time with them? It wasn't what I'd call singing, but it was inspired by that most divine of elements, the human breath. A moment later the breath became vocal, guttural, like Sepultura's Max Cavalera on Roots. The guitars were very huge, very heavy, but the double kick-drumming was much more subtle- more effective- than the usual excessive pummelling of metal drummers. Blindfold removed, I saw costumed performers. The dinosaur was an amped, pedalled trumpet in the hands of a shirtless man in leather pants and a mask. The song ended. "Danke," the horn wielder yelled, and a moment later he counted in the next song in equally aggressive German.

Gesundheit's mouthpiece and visionary, Brian Cram, is the man behind the mask, but in today's interview he refers to himself in the third person as Kram. In conversation, he likes to make big statements in short forms. What's with the Teutonic shtick. "German to Kram means liberal discipline. The sound of the language is aggressive self-confidence," he intones. This makes me realize that a lot of the German metal I've heard had English lyrics, which leads me to Kram's comment about the global village: "Everywhere for all time is your backyard." Gesundheit is the stepchild of many parents- blues and heavy 70's rock and contemporary bands like Montreal's Gorguts, the kind that take metal beyond the simplicity of sheer volume and speed to the ever-evolving jazz tradition of creative ensemble playing.

Their powerful CD, Asinus Ad Lyram, which recalls the jam-outs of Cleveland's Keelhaul and the power of sax man David S. Ware, was released late last year and is now facing world-wide distro by a French record company. Guitarists Miss Adventure, Don Picolo, and Gatsby and drummers Jimmy P. Lightning and Pig make up the band along with the Neon Kobra and someone called Jessifer. Various of these players also work with the Co-operators, Bluebird, GUH, Do Make Say Think, Someone Is Flying, the Strap, Drummer, and other bands. The code names exemplify the strong element of theatre Gesundheit bring to the stage. They're not just musicians- they're characters; hence, too, the use of the third person. As Kram tells me, "Live shows have always influenced Kram more than recorded music," and he sees himself as "an ancient, mummified, decomposing warrior exclaiming simple, timeless fictions." Prior to Gesundheit's conception, Kram was Metal Man, a solo busker with his trumpet hooked up to some pedals and a battery amp. He tells me about attempting to play transcribed metal standards at an open stage. "Mayhem ensued", he admits. "A man came at Metal Man onstage and verbally assaulted his 'misuse' of the trumpet."
