Dawnrise rock Denmark (from www.dawnrise.de)

On 21.08.09, we took the first steps toward domination of the world’s stages with a trip to Denmark for a double-concert weekender: home turf for new singer Dennis fronting the band for the first gigs after Jonny’s departure. Kulturfabrikken in Nykøbing Falster was the packed venue for Saturday night’s double headliner gig – Dawnrise followed by Dennis’ former band Rebellionaire. A crowd in the mood for dancing, and two bands with a determination to party, Danish-style. We took full advantage of the unusually large stage and cooked up what was probably our most frenetic show so far. The beer flowed freely; the mood was relaxed. And people liked the tunes, so we were happy.

On Sunday afternoon the scene was changed to the picturesque island of Møn, where our task was to round off a three-day regatta with an afternoon performance. There may not have been quite as many party-hungry Danes this time (apparently many were recovering from another party the night before), but we had a lot of fun, especially when approached to give autographs by our first Danish fans. With a bit of luck we’ll be back next year to start the party off, rather than finish it!

We’d like to thank everyone who came and supported us, the regatta organisers, and of course the mighty Rebellionaire, who put things in motion for the Kulturfabrikken concert – we’ll be seeing you guys in Berlin!
