The organisers kindly flew me in, along with a number of other international music industry types, to soak up some outstanding up-and-coming Danish artists as well as generally spew forth about our respective markets.

As far as Danish bands go, I particularly enjoyed Oh Land‘s orchestral experimentation on the opening evening, as well as Kiss Kiss Kiss‘ danceable indie-pop on the P3 stage, with the Danish crown (in my ill-informed opinion) going to one of the best live acts I have seen in a while, Who Made Who, who rocked a packed out mega-barn of revellers on the Saturday night.

I also have to make an honourable mention of Norwegian artist Rockettothesky who’s esoteric take on song-writing – including a track about ‘horny ghosts’ – stayed with me for some time after the show, to the point where I bought her album Medea off eMusic as soon as I got home. Good stuff.

As far as me ‘spewing forth’:

Thanks very much to everyone at SPOT, particularly Martin Røen Hansen and Henrik Friis, for a fantastic weekend.
