Please notice there will be another concert around 9.30 and we will empty the room between the two concerts - to get some fresh air in and make room for some new guests.

 

Fancy Lee is equal parts New Orleans swamp blues & riot girl rock'n'roll, that will make you leave that no-good man behind and take a jive on the darker side of life. 

They'll invite you into psychedelic tales of voodoo witches, swamp folk and murderous women. 

Their music isn't just for groovin', it's for making a wild one out of you!

 

In November 2023, the band released their debut double single, Introducing Fancy Lee, and have since earned the spot as a noticeably new take on the blues and rock'n'roll genre.

Within their first year of playing, they've supported the legendary rock grandfather, Arthur Brown, played numerous festivals and been published with an artist special on Radio 24/7.

Both their debut single and concerts have received impressive reviews, here's an outtake:

 

"For a band with obvious inspiration in psychedelic rock, it was remarkable that Fancy Lee's songs were so concise and disciplined in execution. There were no endless solos or idling in deep grooves; the tracks were delivered with punch and precision without in any way compromising the semi-mystical voodoo vibe.

Fancy Lee proved to be a strong live band and an exciting and unique new name on the Danish scene for blues and related genres. We look forward to seeing more from this band."

Fancy Lee

Forestil dig en David Lynch-film der udspiller sig i en sump lidt uden for New Orleans, hvor skygger af brodne hekse, forladte bordeller og et opgør med kvindeundertrykkelse kastes op fra den mudrede jord - alt imens en uforfalsket, samfundskritisk poesi smyger sig gennem de knivskarpe riffs.

Fancy Lee tager dig med på en rablende rejse gennem sumpens dunkle hjørner, hvor amerikansk sydstats-folklore kolliderer med fandenivoldsk rock'n'roll. Det ny-opblomstrede sump orkester er på mange måder ikke kun et stærkt live band, men et helt musikalsk univers, der både er uhyggeligt fængende og uimodståeligt energisk.

I front finder man den dansk-amerikanske, prisvindende sangskriver Nina Methling, hvis vokal og intense liveoptrædener er blevet sammenlignet med kunstnere som Stevie Nicks og Annisette Koppel. Siden deres opstart i 2024 har der været fart over feltet med en række anmelderroste optrædener, og denne aften bliver ingen undtagelse, når vi fejrer udgivelsen af deres lovende debut plade “Watch Out!”.

“For et band med åbenlys inspiration i psykedelisk rock var det bemærkelsesværdigt, at Fancy Lees sange var så koncise og disciplinerede i udførelsen. Der var ingen endeløse soloer eller tomgang i dybe grooves; numrene blev leveret med punch og præcision uden på nogen måde at gå på kompromis med den halv mystiske voodoo-stemning.” - Jakob Wandam, Blues News (DK)
