SPOT 2012 is over. Thanks to all who came out to the concerts with Shiny Darkly, Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band and Thee Attacks. We enjoyed you enjoying them, yes. Below is some kind words about the release parties Friday and our official Crunchy Club SPOT showcase Saturday. 

 

This is how we release-party. Snake & Jet & Laura at HQ.

  

British CLASH MUSIC joined us at the release party and they liked what they saw: 

“Snake and Jet’s Amazing Bullit Band boast groin-friendly psychedelic grooves and a mesmerising dynamic between the gawky frontman and supercool Agyness Dean-alike on bass. They’ve got the full package: style, songs, sublime riffs - do catch them next time they darken your neck of the woods.” 

"Thor, Thomas and Laura delivered a set that oozed of energy, groovy basslicks, and a lovely playfull guitar, all delivered with a confident smile."
Junk De Luxe

“The combination of guitar, bass, drums and vocal is not easily made exciting – but Snake and Jet’s Amazing Bullit Band manages it to surprisingly great extent.”

Shiny Darkly had their sort-of-first-concert-outside-CPH-debut at SPOT. With no less than four concerts during the weekend, it is only fair to say that they made a depressingly beautiful first appearance in Aarhus. Gaffa, Soundvenue, Clash Music and Drowned in Sound agree:  

“Every note and every beat sounded as if it was a matter of life and death”

And well… Monday was happy-official-release-day for the self-titled Shiny Darkly debut EP. As most of you of course already know it’s insanely beautiful. Let us present to you six very good reasons why you should give yourself a happy-Friday-present, buy it right here.

These are sweet words, but very well deserved, don’t you think? One thing the reviews have in common is their optimism on the bands behalf. As Soundvenue puts it "they can only grow bigger and darker from here". Darker, bigger, good. 

... in our Awehoose office. DANG! The rest of us here at CF CPH HQ can just enjoy this fine picture of Moe rejoicing in the company of sweet wax hot off the press!

  

The 6 track 180 gram vinyl ep (including mp3 download codes) will be released on monday May 7th, but can be bought already at Shiny Darkly's shows during SPOT from tomorrow night - and especially at the Release Party at HeadQuarter in Aarhus at 4pm on friday. Show up and get a copy, get a free beer or two and hear a few songs played live by the band.

So the entire Crunchy Frog conglomerate is pretty psyched about the upcoming Spot Festival in the lovely city of Aarhus. Check out the mischief we will be up to.
