New Swiss Festival w/ Danish Headliner "GO GO BERLIN"

About two years I came across and had the honor to watch a band at a festival about three (!!!) times. They played a radio show, showcase outside somewhere on the Reeperbahnfestival and an A-Class Clubshow at Indra, where the beatles had their first concert outside of the UK in Hamburg.

Now I've been following these guys eversince and they are rising fast. Not only headlining my once-hometown's finest "Openair Wettingen" but also they've played Maifeld Derby in front of several thousand people. All of them are just about 24-25 years old and after maybe 200-300 concerts they are still looking good. I had a chat with leadsinger and baller Christian Vium about announcing the first headline Festival show in switzerland, perhaps, ever outside of their country? Have a read:

Go Go Berlin in Aargovia. once again. Any last memories of the past night in Royal Cinema Baden?

• Yeah, is that the concert with the tall wall, right next to the stage, i climbed up on? I love when stages looks different - gives you an opportunity to change your show every time! But yeah, we were quite hung over (we have a say that Switzerland ALWAYS get's GGB drunk!!!), but that's good for us, helps up relax a bit more.. we often play better then.

You will be headlining the great young festival Openair Wettingen. It's possibly as young as you guys are. But recently there are new young guys running it. Searching for thruthful entertaining bands. What are you going to do if it's a rainy day and you took your white panties on and everywhere is mud and such?

• "Searching for truthful entertaining bands" ... sounds like they got the right band then!! haha. Like i said, i love different settings, different crowds... We always try to get the best of the situations! And we fucking love the "headlining" status.. it builds up the expectations, and steps up our game!

You will be hosted at the hotel which was named after the guy who wrote the swiss national anthem poem right beside the stage. What is your story with the danish poem, tell us. Cause (du du du du du du du doo...) I wonder . . . 

• With the danish national anthem? Hm, actually we have two.. and the second one is about an old king called KING CHRISTIAN!!! Maybe they'll sing about me too one day.

Your album shall be released this year. Any specific ultra-because it's me- teasing sentence you can spit out to the festival guys?

• Hmm... it's awesome and i am proud of it?! It's quite in style with the single "Electric Lives" and we've already started playing a handfull of the songs live. So people.. get ready!

Best Festival Band you've ever seen.

• hmm... I saw Kings Of Leon last year.. they're not the best entertainers, but it's the best sound I've ever heard live... like...ever! ..and it was even at a festival! And MAN, do they have the songs!!

Go Go Berlin or more "Go Home Stones" right?

Go Go Berlin or "Go Home Stones" right?

Go Go Berlin. A rock'n'roll band from Europe. A rock'n'roll band from europe which is trying by heart, to reach the Rock Olymp. But what does it take. What are the things you need to reach the top? Or at least to be on the best way. I talked to my personal "BAND OF THE YEAR 2014" Go Go Berlin's fabulous fringeboy Christian who was nicely interested to answer 5 Q's about what's happening right now because what's after releasing a hammer debut and a rad worldtour including india and china? Jesus christ in heaven, no one can stop them...

• 2015 - The year AGAIN everything shall change in the Bandhistory? You went to new york for some reason. Any hints and hopes you've grown from this trip to the US?

The autumn trip to New York was kind of a follow up to our spring trip to Los Angeles. Basically a handful of record labels were crazy about us in LA, and in NY we invited all the big shots from the labels to come and see us. I won’t really bore you with any details, but as we’ve started working on the next album, it’s going to be f*cking exciting what the future will bring! We want to be patient, and wait for the best opportunity to come. I mean, the States is a serious music marked right!?

• You've been on vacation. Is it a way to get inspiration and WHERE exactly have you been to?

Yeah, you know, in 2014 we had 120-130-something concerts. So it was time for the band to spend some time away from each other (though it felt SO weird), and spend some time with my girl. We took of 3 weeks to Thailand and The Philippines. You know, only power few hours a day – and that felt really healthy. I played a few local guitars, but that was it. And of course I listened a lot to our new demos at the beach. Thinking about production and so on… healthy! 

• You took over denmark already, what's next up there, is it important to take over sweden, the "bigger" music industry?

It’s weird about the upper Europe really. We’re still waiting for our debut concert in Sweden, we were in England few years ago recording, but no shows yet. But maybe the summer festivals in 2015 will bring us there. We see Germany as an important country, the world’s 3’rd biggest music marked… and we’re neighbors… so you know. Really, we’re just building everything up straight away… We play rock’n roll, not pop music, so you have to do it the old school way I guess?! And we’re not gonna sit around waiting for the world to come knocking at our door.

• You have one of the best musicbusiness team I've lately experianced. One for all and all for one? A reason why you came this far in such a short time?

You’re totally right about that one! It’s quite difficult to explain without sounding corny. It’s a family, a group of smart people, who only want to work with people who we can trust, and has the same goal and passion as we’ve got. Talent is one thing – heartbeat is another! Combine them, and I think you’ve got something special.

• New music or gear you heard, got inspired by and tried out in the Studio where you're just recording Demotracks for your second banger album?

Well… I just bought an old jazzy guitar from 195-something, Arnold Hoyer. It immediately captured the ideas we have for the next album. I love to look at an old instrument like that, think about the history it’s got… How many hands that’s adored it, the songs that’s been written on it – and now it’s 2015, and I have new ideas to use it. Fascinating right?! As a recommendation: I talked to a dude in Germany, after the last show of 2014 actually. We shared music and alcohol, and he introduced me to King Tuff… I fucking love the song Eyes Of The Muse. Check it out!

Interview... Danika Maia (CopenHype VJ)

Danika is one true music lover. She's bringing bands directly to you as they are. With "her" new project COPENHYPE, working as a VJ growing into the scene, we caught her up and made an interview with the lady... To be a "mortal" person talking to artists and other ppl doing music is not always easy. You got to understand how they function. You got to understand what's their life and brain about. What goals they may wanna achieve, what they like.

You're kind of the mother of them. You have to know as much as possible to make an perfect and interesting interview. To connect to 'em!

Because what fans and followers wanna know are new stuff. News. News in general or just facts they've never heard before. It always has to be funny, because every single guy and girl likes and loves to talk and laughing isn't it? Well let me introduce to you. The Danish badass itself: Danika Maia.

Danika. What a great name, does it tell about your personality and how' you're doing interviews with bands?

• Well, I'm not sure. I suppose you could relate it in some way, if you really wanted to. Danika means "Morning Star" which is quite sweet and happy, but when I was little some kids told me that it was "Mourning Star" which is another name for Satan. So in relation to how I conduct interviews, I might look sweet and innocent but I'll ask those devilish questions about underage girls, embarrassing moments, and I'm not afraid to curse. I try not to curse that much though. Momma raised a lady.

I'm kinda obsessed with Denmark at the moment, what's your obsession in such as music?

• I'm also obsessed with Danish and Scandinavian music in general right now. I love this mixture of genres that the Scandinavians have been able to blend and master so beautifully. From Quadron, to Mø, Lykke Li, Oh Land, Fallulah (ok I love the ladies at the moment) there's a little bit of something for everyone to sink their teeth into. Of course you can't forget about the Danish hip/hop and trap scene. I love sweating it out to Nonsens and Snavs when I'm feeling ratchet.

You favorite interview so far ?

• My favorite interview so far has probably been with the Go Go Berlin boys. This was actually the very first band interview we did, right when we started up CopenHype. I was nervous as fuck but the guys are so chill and made me feel so comfortable. We sat around having beers and hearing great stories and the interview ended up being 30 minutes long or something, when it's supposed to be five to ten minutes. This was before they played Roskilde and absolutely blew up off the scene so I'm glad we got a chance to catch them. Probably won't be that simple any more!

What are your limits when it comes to questions?

• You have to gauge people's reactions and get a feel for their personality. You can usually tell pretty quickly when they don't want to stray too far off from the serious music questions. I'll try once or twice to take it somewhere a little edgy but if they're not feeling it I don't push it. I'm pretty new to this whole thing though, so I just take it as it comes.

What band would you like to interview once and what super question would you hold back from them?

• My favorite band growing up was Modest Mouse. They really got me through high school and all the bullshit that goes along with it. I would love to interview them and ask Isaac Brock about the depth and darkness of his heroin addiction and how that influenced his incredible lyrical poetry. But I'd probably be too nervous and just ask them where they like to get drunk on Saturdays.

The first thing you've listened on your iPod this morning?

• Mø - Pilgrim

Copenhype is getting bigger and bigger. What are the plans for 14' ? Roskilde Cooperation?

• The whole reason we're doing this is to get into Roskilde for free next year and interview some big artists. LET US IN!!

How many ppl are in the Copenhype team ?

• We are 9 I think in absolute total:
• Myself - Host and Creative Director ( if I really want to give myself a lot of credit) 
• Nikita - Founder, Cameraman, Editor, Driver, Money Supply 
• Brynjar - Co - Founder, Cameraman, Editor,
• Alex - Photographer, Comedian 
• Anna Sofia - Administration, Producer, E-mail Checker, Assistant, Eye Candy 
• Milda - Web Developer 
• Erika - Graphic Design 
• Evalds Time Lapse Guy. (Yeah that's right, we have a time lapse guy)
• Domantas - Stylist and Wardrobe Wizard
