The Breakers Second Annual Month Long Residency at FLOSS in Copenhagen, Denmark Kicks Off November 6th
Every
Friday in November Copenhagen’s own The Breakers will host a free dance
party at FLOSS. Little Steven Van Zandt was so impressed with the
band’s month long residency in 2008 that he’s bringing it back for
another Underground Garage A Go-Go event.
The Breakers recently received Floss’ Champagne Prize as the most promising upcoming Danish Rock act of 2008. The band’s wild energy is fueled by the weaving double guitars of Anders Bruus and Klaus Højbjerg and the super solid rhythm section of Jackie Larsen (bass) and Thomas Stølsvig (drums). Toke Nisted’s
smoky vocals and seamless harmonies evoke the Rhythm and Blues passion
of Steve Marriott of the Small Faces. The Breakers harken back to when
the Rolling Stones, Kinks, and Yardbirds were Rock and Roll dance bands
inspired by the Soul music of Motown, Memphis, and Muscle Shoals
Van
Zandt thinks so much of the band he brought them with him for his
keynote speech at this year’s SxSW, and will be releasing the band’s
third full-length album on his Wicked Cool Records in 2010.
