Please note: As a consequence of the widespread global situation with Corona virus/COVID-19, Juana Molina has sadly been forced to cancel her Spring tour. Nonetheless, we are very happy to announce that the concert at ALICE has been moved to a new date – from April 16 till December 11. All purchased tickets can be used for the new date.
When acclaimed Argentinian musician and alternative icon Juana Molina arrived with her band on the site of the Roskilde festival in July 2018, they found that the airline had misplaced their backline, all they had with them was Juana’s guitar. They decided to go ahead and play a set anyway, using the guitar and instruments which were onstage, i.e. a keyboard and a drum kit. They played a wild set of improvised versions of Juana’s songs, and the fans were delighted to witness such a special show. Since that day, Juana and her bandmates took to including a punkish version of “Paraguaya” in their live sets. ...

Now, several months later, Juana Molina releases the EP “Forfun” on Crammed Discs. An EP directly inspired by the playful and unpredictable mood of the Roskilde Festival show. We’re delighted that Juana Molina and her band will follow up the release with a European tour. A tour which will also bring them to ALICE where they will play an intimate show. Without doubt, Molina is one of the most important alternative musicians in Argentina. And with her sophisticated blend of folk, art pop and electronica, she has created her very own style. Her latest album, “Halo”, has been labelled a highlight of her career by several journalists. And The Sunday Times called it: “An album veering on genius”.
OBS: Som konsekvens af den vidtfavnende globale situation med coronavirus/COVID-19, har Juana Molina desværre været nødt til at aflyse sin forårstour, og derfor også koncerten på ALICE i april. Det er derfor med glæde at vi kan annoncere en ny dato for koncerten, nemlig 11. december. Billetterne til koncerten 16. april kan bruges til den nye dato.
Døre kl 19 / koncert kl 20
Det alternative argentinske ikon Juana Molina er tilbage med ny sprudlende EP – og det var en oplevelse på Roskilde Festival i 2018, som var inspirationen. Nu rammer Juana Molina og hendes band ALICE med koncert.
Det er et mareridt for en turnerende musiker med et forfinet lydbillede: At miste alt sit gear lige inden en koncert på en stor festival. Det var imidlertid præcis hvad der skete, da Juana Molina skulle spille på Roskilde Festival i 2018. Hun og hendes band måtte hastigt improvisere et set baseret på hvad de kunne låne af udstyr – og således måtte de gøre en dyd ud af nødvendigheden.
Intet er så skidt, at det ikke er godt for noget. Ikke alene blev koncerten rost. Koncerten inspirerede også Molina og bandet til at indspille en ny EP i ånden fra den skramlede, punkede og legesyge koncert. “Forfun” udkommer på Crammed Discs og udgivelsen følges op af Europa-tour, som heldigvis også bringer Molina tilbage til Danmark, denne gang med intim koncert på ALICE.
Juana Molina har siden starten af årtusindet stået som en af de mest personlige og interessante argentinske musikere. Og skønt hun har holdt fast i at synge på spansk, har hun opnået en global respekt. Molina startede sin karriere som TV-komiker, hvor hun blev et kendt navn i Argentina. Det var dog musikken hun egentlig brændt for, men hendes folk-orienterede sange på debutalbummet ‘Rara’ (1996) tog hjemlandet kun lunkent imod. Opfølgeren ‘Segundo’ (2000) blev dog et markant gennembrud, også internationalt, da ingen ringere end David Byrne faldt pladask for musikken og inviterede Molina med på en større tour. Også en af USA’s fremmeste eksponenter for alternativ folk, Will Oldham, erklærede sig som fan og sørgede for, at Molina fik pladekontrakt på det vigtige alternative label Domino.
Siden har hun udsendt en lang række roste udgivelser. Det seneste album, “Halo”, blev af Mojo kaldt hendes hidtil bedste, og Sunday Times skrev ligefrem: “An album veering on genius”. Det er således en bemærkelsesværdig musiker, som gæster ALICE til april. Og en kunstner, der langt inde i sin karriere ikke er bange for at ryste den kreative pose, som den nye EP viser.
