You can look forward to the show at Vega, Copenhagen. Vega is a really cool club with great acoustics. All the shows I've been to there has been amazing.
Have a good trip!!

It's the belgian train site, but it's better then the dutch i've heard and I don't know what the dutch one is called. You can search for international trains too so.

Or yeah.. wait.. I don't know what exactly you're looking for here...

Hehe, I'm only looking to get from Groningen, way up north in the Netherlands, to Copenhagen someway. Don't think there's a direct connection between the two, looks like I need to switch trains in Hamburg. But that's why am posting here, maybe someone knows a better way to get from A to B.

Thank u for the links:)

Yeah, I spent about 15min sifting through that link yesterday, but no luck. Mudhoney plays Groningen May 14'th, oh boy oh boy OH BOY

Thank u for takeing time to look up stuff for me!:-)

Id say go to your local travel agency, it's easy for them to look it up. Besides if you don't like the outcome you can always say it's to expensive.

14th of may, I'll write it down, If I've got some money I'll visit that one too.

Yeah, I'll be there! That is IF I can sort out all the traveling first... Might just skip the Copenhagen show and go with the two Dutch shows.... Dude, you wouldn't happen to know a cheap hotel near by Melk Weg??

Hey I have checked out the link, and as far as I understand I need to get to Emmen then take a train to Hamburg, change in Hamburg before eventually ending up in Copenhagen 10-12 hours after the journey started. Think I'll skip the Denmark show. But hey, 2 Mudhoney shows in two days is cool enough!

AMENt TO THAT

What???!!! Skip Copenhagen?? Noooooo. That really hurts my danish heart :)This is all a matter of priorities. I just found out that SAS will take you from Amsterdam to Copenhagen for only 650 NOK. All you need to do then is to get from Groeningen (whereever that is) to Amsterdam.

Really, 650kr isn't that much! I did check SAS myself, but found out it cost about 4500kr which is ridiculous! Are u going to the show?

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I have never heard Mudhoney. I'm moving from Norway to Denmark this month, so maybe I should check them out. It seems like I'll be unemployed for some time though, so maybe I wont be able to affort it. What does the tickets cost?

You really should give 'em a good listen! I suggest their 1995 release "My Brother the Cow" or their 1998 "Tomorrow Hit Today" release. They are both my favs, most other people like the earliest stuff best. But what ever you would decide to buy, you just CAN'T go wrong in my opinoin! Mudhoney is much more of a raw, stripped down "punkish" thing, not even close to PJ. Just as cool as PJ though, if not more! But that's if you like that sort of music of course.

Tix for the Vega show is 200kr, well spent money! Fuck, it would be cool to hook up with a PJ brother. I'll buy u the ticket if I decide to go, which I probably will. How's that sound?

I've listened to the albums you suggested at allmusic.com. It's a bit too punkish for me, though I liked the track "1995".
I'm pretty shure that a buddy of mine has a few Mudhoney albums. Maybe he's going to the Copenhagenshow.
If I go to the show I'll let you know. It would be kinda cool to meet a fellow jammer. Other than a one friend of mine I don't know any PJ-fans.
But if you don't go to the show, you can always meet me at the Roskilde Festival. I'm the drunk guy in the silveriglo by exit 9

You should also give their more "classic" tunes a listen, songs as "Touch me im Sick", "In n' Out of Grace", "Here Comes Sickness", "Mudride", "Suck You Dry" and a bunch of other early Mudhoney songs.

Hehe, you have found "your spot" at the Roskilde festival i see! I have been there a couple of times, 1998 & 1999. Was fuckinf awesome! But man was I tierd after 2 weeks on "the field". Shit, you need a four week break after a festival like Roskilde!:)

I've been there every year since '94. I seen some of the best shows and the worst (2000....) there. I'll be there this year also. It might be my last though :( I getting to old for that shit. Camping in the mud, heavy drinking and no sleep takes its toll.........

I know what u mean! Then you went through that HELL of a downpour back in '97 I think it was....? A friend of mine were there, he said it was literally hell on earth that week. Soaking wet from the time they stepped out of the train in Copenhagen, and till they got home to Norway 2 weeks later.

Do u live in Volda or something at the moment? Where in Denmark will you move to?

dane

97 was hell on earth! My tent actually disappeared in the wind and mud!! I came back from a concert and the tent was fucking gone! 2000 was hell too. The accident, the weather and the weird mood at the festival after fridays concert. In 2004 the weather was shit too. That year DSB (The national traincompany) complained about the extra cleaningexpenses they had due to festivalgoers leaving mud everywhere he he.

Not to comfortable with saying where I live, but lets just say that I live in Rogaland and will be moving to Sjælland, Denmark. I was born and raised in Roskilde and will probably move there when I can afford it.

Have you checked these airlines, i don't know the flight routes, but it might be worth checking, i flew once from Berlin to Copenhaguen for 50 euros.

I think there are some other low-cost air lines for Scandinaivian countries, but don't know where to look for.
