CMJ and a photo contest
Thank you so much for the overwelming support you've shown us the past two weeks. Its truly amazing to see so many wonderful smiling faces out there, especially at the Webster Hall show. It all just makes us eager to really live up to that. We love you guys!
Last week Esben was in a CMJ panel for ”New York Underground Music”. It was hosted by the MUNY program and took place at NYU's Kimmel Center south of Washington Square. It was a good experience, and Esben got his press-skills tested 
. Of course we all had to go up to the exhibit area to check out all the free goods from CMJ sponsors afterwards. Check out the photo below. I love the expression on Nils' face. Priceless.
For the next couple of weeks our manager team is having a new contest set up for us. Its called ”Best Brothers show shot”. Take the best photo of us performing and get us to play at your own houseparty. The rules are simple: Shoot the photo at any of our indoor shows between October 29th and December 8th. Post it as a comment on our myspace, or send it to 4brothersmoving@gmail.com. Either way, the winning photo must eventually be emailed to us in full size. We'll vote for the best shot, and let the winner know right away. I'm excited to see your results.
Next up is Arlene's the 29th, and Halloween party the 30th @ Roots. More info to come...
Road trip
Hey guys. Its been a while since I updated this site. I've got a real good excuse though .
As you may know, Nils' parents are visiting these days. We've been busy showing them around the city and enjoying the danish food the brought from back home. Friday we dragged them down to our Arlene's Grocery show. Thank you all for supporting that night! They were very overwhelmed, and we had a great time. This Sunday they decided to invite us all on a road trip to Niagara Falls. Of course we couldn't say no to such a great offer. We left Bed-Stuy around 10am and arrived 11pm the same day. Ones we got there, we realized that our hotel was located across the Canadian border. Luckily we all brought our passports. I gotta be honest though, I was a bit nervous if they would ever let me back in. Anyway, the falls were beautiful and the road trip through Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and New Jersey were stunning. We tried to stay off the freeways and mainly use smaller routes. Most of them had amazing scenic views down south. It really made me wanna buy a convertible and drive all the way west.
Next big event is Webster Hall this Friday. We've had the pleasure of working with Rich Russo from 101.9 RXP's "Anything, Anything" the last couple of months. He's hosting a band showcase at the venue, and letting us headline. The doors open at 7pm and the music starts at 8. For just $5 ($7 at the door) you get to hear Brothers Moving, Plastiq Passion, Out of the Box and Sarah Solovay. A great night of music! The entire event gets recorded too, so make sure you get there early and cheer extra loud that night. Your voice just might be aired Sunday nights on 101.9 RXP. You can RSVP on the event here and buy your ticket in advance here. Check out the poster below.
See you all very soon.
New live recordings from Roots
We just finished processing the recordings from Roots cafe. Now don't expect any high-tech, produced quality tracks. Its nothing fancy, but its more than enough to feel the vibe of Saturday night in Brooklyn. Nils recently purchased a H4 Handy Recorder. Mainly to use as a memo device to remember new songs, but he found out that it actually does a decent job recording live sets. You can find the new selected tracks in the media section in the right sidebar. Enjoy
If you really can't wait 'till Friday to catch another danish set, we have a scheduled MUNY performance this Wednesday (October 7th). We'll be playing Grand Central Station from 3-6pm. You can find us in the mezzanine.
Arlene’s Grocery and Union Square subway
First of all a big thanks to everyone that showed up last night at Roots cafe. We had a great time! And Jamey, we're looking forward to playing with you the 30th.
As some of you know, we attended the MUNY (Music Under New York) audition in March and got selected as an official MTA artist. Banner and everything, ha ha. That basically means that we have a permit to book and play New Yorks underground 365 days a year. That is definitely gonna come in handy when winter comes. Anyway, tomorrow (Monday 5th) we have a scheduled performance in the Union Square subway. We'll be there from 3-6pm. If anyone wants to stop by and sing along, please feel free . Its right by the N, Q, R and W trains in the main mezzanine.
Besides rocking out on the streets and subways whenever we get the chance, October is a busy month for us. We have a bunch of exciting shows coming up. Next up is Arlene's Grocery this Friday. Located on 95 Stanton Street, Arlene's is one of the best sounding venues in Lower East Side if you ask me. The sound guys in there really know what they are doing. From the design of the room and full backline it provides, to the sound engineers who tweak the knobs, Arlene’s is a venue that’s truly designed for live music. We can't wait! You can get the quick details in our Show Schedule on this site, or get the full lineup, details, pictures and RSVP here. Also check out http://arlenesgrocery.net/ for more info about the venue.
See you soon!
Roots cafe this Saturday
We've just been booked for a gig @ Roots cafe in Park Slope, Brooklyn tomorrow. If you haven't seen the place yet, this is your chance. Speaking of atmosphere in the last post, this is one of Brooklyn's better choices. A small place with the right concept. Jamey (the owner) makes sure you can eat his homemade southern-style food to free quality music. The place has a BYOB policy on event nights. Bring your own beer and they will cool and serve them for tips.
If you plan on coming, the excact adress is 639A Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn. Also find out more here: rootscafebrooklyn.com. The lineup is still a bit uncertain, but music starts at 8pm. We'll probably go on around 9.30pm. The pictures below are from one of our last shows there. Hope to see you there!
Rockwood Music Hall
This Wednesday we played a gig at one of our favorite venues - Rockwood Music Hall. Its a small and cozy place on Allen street in Lower east side. That place has an amazing atmosphere, and the sound is always good. Thanks Tommy for having us once again. We're looking forward to next time.
Picture time
Since this site is brand new, I wanna share some of our many pictures. Most of these are from when we first got to New York about a year ago. Its truly amazing how many people are kind enough to send us these. Taking their time, processing and then sending it. Naturally we can't take pictures of our selves when playing, but still we have so many good memories in the ones that people have been sending. Mostly from the street. Big thanks to all of you!
Spindle and Wit
The British band Spindle and Wit recently stayed in our apartment for 10 days. They are an upcoming band from London and they had a bunch of shows planned during their stay. We did our best to show them a good time. The absolute highlight in my eyes, was when they decided to learn our danish tune "Min Familie (Tralalalulalalej)". Obviously they don't know any words in danish, except one that I better not mention here. Still that doesn't stop them from singing their heart out. Who says danish is hard to learn?! It took these guys 5 minutes
Recording in Harlem
Lately we've been experimenting with different ways of recording our songs. Its not as easy as it sounds though. We wanna interpret that sound we have on the street in the right way, without making it too clean. Those experiments has been giving us some fun experiences. One of them in Harlem where producer and writer Tony Shimkin kindly helped us out with a couple of sessions.
A beach house story…
We recently played a gig in Long Island, and we were lucky enough to stay at our managers mom's beach house for a couple of days. Of course that ended up in a scandal. The first night we managed to find their booze and got a bit too drunk. The first picture is from the next morning. Esben was sleeping on the lawn and Aske on the living room floor. The rest of the pictures is from a street market in uptown Harlem.
