Pleaser + St. Digue

PLEASER
Pleaser er et lovende nyt undergrundsband fra København. Gruppen blev dannet i vennekredsen omkring et huskollektiv og fandt i 2018 sin form i øvelokalerne omkring Ungdomshuset – et sted Pleaser føler tæt tilknytning til. Et par år senere debuterede Pleaser og blev hurtigt bemærket for deres friske take på punkgenren. Pleaser er et DIY-punkband men også et band, der gennem de fire musikeres altomfattende og altædende musiksmag har fundet deres egen unikke lyd. Musikalsk kan Pleasers musik beskrives som hæsblæsende og støjende men samtidig umiddelbar fængende med en bidsk duetsang i front. Der trækkes på både hardcore punk og alternativ rock og resultatet er iørefaldende og charmerende. I sommeren 2020 indspillede Pleaser en demo-EP, der udkom året efter digitalt og senere på bånd via det københavnske label Part Time Records. Pleaser har allerede spillet en lang række roste koncerter i Danmark, lige fra undergrunds-punkshows til etablerede festivaler. Opmærksomheden omkring gruppen har været markant og positiv og har blandt andet resulteret i airplay på B6Beat - en højst usædvanlig bedrift for et lokalt undergrunds-punkband. Pleaser har for nylig afsluttet indspilningerne af deres debutalbum som udkommer i 2023. Pleaser består af Annie Marie Nyvold og Sophie Lake på guitar og dobbelt leadvokal og på trommer og bas Oliver Nehammer og Olle Bergholz.

St. Digue

St. Digue (a.k.a Kasper Deichmann) er en dansk Darkwave solo-artist baseret i København.

Med æteriske synthesizere, hårdtslående trommemaskiner og dragende melankolske melodier, tager St. Digue lytterne med på en følelsesladet rejse gennem vemod og dommedag. Med inspiration fra gotiske artister fra 80’erne, moderne elektronisk musik i undergrunden, samt hans black metal rødder skaber han en lyd, der uden tvivl er hans helt egen.

Kasper begyndte at lave musik under St. Digue navnet i 2020, som et corona selv-isolations projekt på hans soveværelse, og har siden da spillet adskillige koncerter i både Danmark, Sverige, Tyskland, Baltikum og Balkanhalvøen, samt udgivet 2 EP’er og debut albummet “Everything Hits At Once”, der modtog masser af ros og etablerede St. Digue, som et navn man skal holde øje med i den danske undergrund, eller som Devilution har døbt ham, et ukronet darkwave-håb.

Darkwave enmandshæren er nu tilbage med sit længe ventede andet album “Toxic Kiss” der er sat til at blive udgivet den 12. Maj 2023 gennem Midnat Records.

ENGLISH

PLEASER
Pleaser is a promising new underground band from Copenhagen. The group was formed in the circle of friends around a house collective and in 2018 found its form in the rehearsal rooms around Ungdomshuset – a place Pleaser feels close to. A few years later, Pleaser debuted and quickly became noticed for their fresh take on the punk genre. Pleaser is a DIY punk band but also a band that has found their own unique sound through the all-encompassing and omnivorous musical taste of the four musicians. Musically, Pleaser's music can be described as raucous and noisy but at the same time immediately catchy with a biting duet song at the front. Both hardcore punk and alternative rock are drawn on, and the result is catchy and charming. In the summer of 2020, Pleaser recorded a demo EP, which was released the following year digitally and later on tape via the Copenhagen label Part Time Records. Pleaser has already played a large number of acclaimed concerts in Denmark, from underground punk shows to established festivals. The attention surrounding the group has been significant and positive and has, among other things, resulted in airplay on B6Beat - a highly unusual feat for a local underground punk band. Pleaser has recently finished recording their debut album which will be released in 2023. Pleaser consists of Annie Marie Nyvold and Sophie Lake on guitar and double lead vocals and on drums and bass Oliver Nehammer and Olle Bergholz.
