Биография

Dance With Dirt is a Danish rock group, formed in 2007 by guitarist, Kristoffer Veirum, bassist Jonathan Lyby, drummer, Jess Gertsen, guitarist Joachim Bloch and singer, Magnus Jacobsen. The group originates from the outskirts of Northern Jutland, and quickly found a local audience in the northern rock & metal metropolis, Aalborg. The band released their debut EP 'Move To The Offbeat' (SR) in 2008, and soon after this, Joachim left the band. In 2010, Dance With Dirt found a new direction in sound, following the territorial expansions to both Aarhus and Copenhagen, and released the follow-up EP 'Drink The Juice' (SR) the same year. Following this release was a self-titled and self-released 3-track demo, which only came out in a few physical copies. The group made their national breakthrough in 2012, with the release of the first full length album "We Are Dance With Dirt" (Target / Popup), which gave not only public radio rotation - but also some screentime, with Denmarks Radio's documentary series 'Karrierekanonen' on DR3. This album also brought the group outside the danish borders, with touring in Germany, Czech Republic, Canada and Estonia. In 2014, the drummer position was switched to Mikkel Frej Eriksen, with whom the band started writing the followup album "Marathon" (AEM / SONY) with - released in 2016, and a very new, modern style and direction of sound. Dance With Dirt parted ways in 2016, and are now back together for a final tour in Sep 2018.
