Phew! That was the end of 2017! a year of much ambivalence. On the good side: Mandagsklubben is growing and growing. We have had amazing concerts every monday year round. we have had amazing audiences! and we are booked until august 2018 of more amazing stuff. We also won a Danish Music Award. It really feels like Mandagsklubben is a place where we can meet and be ourselves and celebrate each others creativity. yeah!!! and its a place of unity which by its very existence is directly dismissing any attempts of polarization of our scene. On the bad side we lost some of the masters of the music, some of the artists directly responsible for the freedom we experience today. Many have passed on...have to mention Sunny Murray, Muhal Richard Abrams, Roswell Rudd, Micha Mengelberg, Charles Bobo Shaw and Phil Cohran. And at home we lost one of our greatest musicians, brother Nicolai Munch Hansen....

And at home we lost one of our greatest musicians, brother Nicolai Munch Hansen.
We are happy to announce that our January artist in residence is the incredible pianist, singer and composer Johanna Borchert! She has recently returned to the Copenhagen scene after 8 years in Berlin, her place of origin. Loved by audiences as a deeply original and complex performer in such (now legendary) bands as Little Red Suitcase and Schneeweiss & Rosenrot, she has since then added prizewinning singersongwriter to her list of merits. She has worked with Fred Frith, Shahzad Ismaily, Peter Bruun, Jonas Westergaard, Elena Setien and Chris Brown.
In 2014 She launched a career as an alternative pop singer, releasing "Fm Biography" and won the prestigious ECHO award for it and in 2017 "Love or Emptiness" came out, causing critics to compare her to Kate Bush. She has also made a beautiful solo keyboard album called "Orchestra Ideal" She has decided to use her Mandagsklubben residency to make new musical acquaintances and celebrate old relationships. We are very proud to welcome this unique artist back to Denmark and into Mandagsklubben!!!!
kl 20 Askegraa
Sรธren Nielsen: guitar
Uffe Nรธrtoft: Pedalsteel
This wonderful duo has been at the club several times. they play harmonic landscapes of sound. wide open spaces, long tones, they joy of vibrating strings.
kl 21 Elia/Snekkestad/Borchert
Gianluca Elia - sax
Torben Snekkestad - extended sax
Johanna Borchert - piano
For her final residency concert, Borchert has invited two very different and highly creative players. Gianluca Elia is the best thing to happen from Italy since grappa and Snekkestad puts the Myse in Myseost...sorry.. both are mandagsklubben favorites and monster players. Snekkestad is in his own category when it comes to extended techniques on the horn and has been so for a decade. Elia is 10 years younger and represents the next generation of sounds coming from Italy. we are very lucky to have several of the major cats from the young Italian scene living here these years...among them Gianluca Elia, Luca Curio and Federico Corsini.
kl 22 Gasiorek/Tangvik/Elia/Corsini
Szymon Gasiorek - drums
Kristian Tangvik - tuba
Gianluca Elia - sax
Federico Corsini - bass
Strength, in the dark, handling weakness with: thousand of cute melodies that bounce in echo with: the impact of crude reason that has no longer enemy, outside, just in and in us are the unpredictable spheres of light. The Incorruptible values are bonding the essence of one, and many.
kl 23 P ร R R
Frederik Fog - guitar, voc
Andrius Derevanchenko - t sax, electronics
Simon Forchammer - drums
This trio consists of three musicians with their feet deeply planted in the improv scene of Copenhagen. They have come together to explore what the world feels like, when it is built up by small poprock melodies, simple structures in an atmosphere of improvisation. This will be their first concert. hopefully not their last!
kl 24 OW+A
Kaspar Ohne - Synths
Helge Wenn - Drums & Electronics
Nils Aber - Electric Bass
OW+A consist of three german pioneers in "free improvised 4am warehouse kinda shit". People tend to dance frenetically whenever OW+A plays. That's dope and you should consider doing so as well. It's techno but it's live.
