Bring beef, tequila and condoms! - The Palin files.

by Jessi-Q 21. June 2011 11:37

Gag of the month!
As you may have heard, all email correspondance from US darling Sarah Palin's days as governor of Alaska has been released to the public! Good reading! Going through all this, it's unavoidable not to stumble across some weird approaches for Miss Palin. One of many is actually an invitation to a BBQ from Jeppe Senior's (and former Wolfkin) LA manager, Alexis Riviera, who runs the label Echo Park Records. Whenever he sends out his invitations, he always make up an email address in the "to" line of invitees, for everyone to see. And then keep all the real email addresses BCC. So he did this with Sarah Palin, guessing what her email would be. What he didn't know was that it in fact WAS her real email address!!! "BBQ at my house! Strange Boys are playing! So tip the kids and bring beef, tequila and condoms!" - I bet Palin must have been tempted!! Funny detail is that Alexis is now getting good sponsor offers from condom and tequila companies!! Not too shabby!!

Junior Senior at the top 50 Music Videos of the 2000s

by kristina 10. September 2009 11:08

 

 Junior Seniors Move Your Feet made it to the top 50 Music Videos of the 2000s.

Junior Senior got in as number 33 at pitchfork.com. All right, well done! And as

far as we can see, Junior Senior is the only Danish band on the list.

 

Pitchfork about the video:

The feel-good video of the decade. Too often animated clips go for ''disturbing'' or ''dark'' when what we really want from cartoons is daredevil squirrels and dancing robots.

Congrats from Crunchy.

The Crunchy Guide to Iceland Airwaves

by crunchy.dk 11. October 2007 14:53
DEAR FRIENDS

As some of you might already know, this is the second time that we, in collaboration with Iceland Air and Airwaves, send a handful of Crunchy bands to Reykjavik to kick ass at the Airwaves Festival. We are so much looking forward to get to Reykjavik to party and hang out with YOU!

We've had quite a few bands at Airwaves before: PowerSolo, epo-555, Heavy Trash, Junior Senior og The Tremolo Beer Gut. And this year Snake and Jet's Amazing Bullit Band (SAJABB) will be debuting at the Airwaves Festival.
Crunchy Frog records are already in circulation in Iceland, but we have recently started a collaboration with 12Tonar who are now distributing the crisp tones for the Icelandic people. Being present at this year’s Airwaves Festival we hope to draw attention to the good music directly from Copenhagen, Denmark. As you might already know our three bands Heavy Trash, The Tremolo Beer Gut and aforementioned SAJABB are on this year’s billboard. All three bands play at Lídó.

We have made a Crunchy Guide to Airwaves. Unfortunately it is only available in Danish. Get the Guidebook as pdf.

GOOD THINGS TO REMEMBER
Iceland is way up north in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. So prepare yourself for bad weather. Leave the hot pants at home and bring the winter coat.
A few good thing you do have to remember:
Remember swimming suit:! - The Blue Lagoon hot tub is a must.
Remember booze! Iceland is pretty expensive. so remember your hip flasks.
.... and remember the Crunchy Frog concerts!
