About
Gasbox is a tribute concert devoted to the songs of Gasolin' and Kim Larsen, staged at Amager Bio in Copenhagen on Friday 7 May. It suits visitors who want to hear Danish rock performed live, and who enjoy an evening built around familiar songs in a cinema-based venue on the island of Amager.
The music
The band plays and sings the songs that made Gasolin' one of Denmark's best-known rock bands and Kim Larsen one of the country's most celebrated artists. The performers approach the material with clear respect for the original recordings, so the evening is a faithful revisiting of the repertoire rather than a loose reinterpretation.
The performer
The tribute is fronted by René Hejdmann, who is described in the submission as Denmark's best and most authentic Kim Larsen singer. He closely matches Larsen's voice and facial expressions, which is a large part of what the show offers those who know the songs well.
Kim Larsen's career
Larsen's work spans several decades and several bands. He performed with Gasolin' in the 1970s, recorded solo in the 1980s, worked with Bell*Star in the 1990s, and played with Kjukken for the last 24 years. The concert draws on this body of songs, which makes it a fitting way to hear the music of a central figure in Danish popular music.
