Metal Monday

Slægt

@COPENHELL #copenhell #copenhell2017 @MetalMagicDK

Excited to see Slaegt again this summer (at least two times–Metal Magic and Brutal Assault). Hopefully they’ll get added to Copenhell and/or Gefle Metal Festival so I can see them three or four times.

The good news is they did it a month earlier than last year. The bad news is that, unlike last year when I was super excited by Mustasch and Neurosis being on the bill, I’m unfamiliar with this year’s bands. They are: Eagles of Death Metal, Immolation (also at 2019 Brutal Assault Festival), 1000mods, and Like A Star. I can tell from just a brief listen that I’m not interested in Like A Star (so hopefully they will go on first or last), but now I have almost five months to get familiar with the other three.

Happy birthday, Al Barr!

Five months from today I’ll be back in my summer home, Copenhagen. This will be my sixth summer in Denmark and my fourth in a row.

På Trappen in Dragør

På Trappen (Strandstræde 8, Dragør, Denmark)

#Dragør

I took today’s photo in 2011. Using Google’s street view I see that nothing has changed in the past eight years. After doing a little research it looks like this 235-year old building won’t be changing in the future either. This place was protected beginning in 1945. Although the sign indicates a bakery, this hasn’t been an active Danish bakery since 1976.

I found the photo below from when it was an active bakery, but this picture may be from a hundred years ago.

På Trappen was built as a bakery in 1784 for baker Peter Christian Trochmann.

Another interesting tidbit I learned from researching this building is the Rolling Stones stayed nearby in 1966 before their concert in Copenhagen. They stayed in Dragør to avoid the fans in the city, but the strategy didn’t fully work as their location was discovered.
