First, thanks to everyone who came out to the shows in Germany! GREAT playing for you.
We got gigs at Stengade in Copenhagen this Thursday and at Studenterhuset in Århus this Saturday, the whole 7-piece band on the road. Wuhuu!

We’re about to get on the road for 5 days in Germany! These are the gigs:
Wed, Feb 15 – Soupanova, Berlin
Thu, Feb 16 – St. Gaudy, Berlin
Fri, Feb 17 – Verve, Bielefeld
Sat, Feb 18 – Hasenschaukel, Hamburg
Sun, Feb 19 – Prinz Willy, Kiel

Apparently the new album Amerika is getting a lot of good reviews and airplay in Germany (thank you Divine Records who’s handling the promo for us down there). Hope to see some people at the clubs!

Amerika is released in the UK today and got a great review in the Sunday times!

So, we’re just back from a fun London weekend. Thank you everyone who came to our show at Wilmington Arms Saturday and just in general everyone who’s been great this weekend. Looking forward to come back in February! Got another gig at the Wilmington Arms on Feb 11.

Looking forward to it! We’re excited to play some more in London next year when Amerika is promoted in the UK (officially released there on Jan 16). Got two gigs at Wilmington Arms coming up on January 14 and February 11.

And Amerika is out in Germany on February 3! Divine Records is handling it and they booked us 5 gigs, starting in Berlin on Feb 15, thank you!

Meanwhile the 3rd album is starting to come together. I started recording it last spring with James Talambas and Mads Hartmann in James’ home studio in Fort Worth, TX. Been working on it on/off since summer with Mads in his new studio (we built it! supervised by Hartmann senior) in Copenhagen. James finishing his parts in Texas. Think we’ll be done recording and mixing in a few weeks. More about that later!

Happy New Year!!

Thanks so much to everyone who’s helped out along the way on this North American tour – just got back to gloomy winter Copenhagen two days ago. Especially thanks to the awesome people who hosted house shows and/or tired migrants after gigging. Invaluable! And of course thanks to everyone who’s listening to the music, keeps spreading the word, coming to the shows, watching our videos. Album no. 3 is on it’s way!

You’re all welcome to connect with The Migrant on Facebook and you can still get the 2 albums on bandcamp and at the other online music stores. (and in your local music store if you order it!)

Enjoy your winter!
I’ll be back in the States for SXSW in Austin in March. See you there??
