Alphabeat!

Last night we headed to Tivoli - one of Copenhagen's most famous attractions. Tivoli is an amusement park/performing arts venue right in the heart of Copenhagen. I've already got my season pass! Every Friday there are concerts and last night was a big night because it was the 10year anniversary of the Friday night concerts.
At 8pm Alphabeat performed, followed by a 10pm main concert of 5 different Danish bands. The crazy thing is that they all sing exclusively in English - which makes sense because only 5million people speak Danish (and nearly all Danes speak perfect English), so they vastly expand their opportunities to "make it big" by singing in English. And luckily I had Julia to interpret all the talking in between sets to me...since that was still in Danish!
Alphabeat is a total "teeny bopper" band (as evidenced by the fact that we were some of the oldest in the crowd) but they are fun and crazy and have no inhibitions dancing around the stage like fools - very entertaining!

Here is my favorite Alphabeat song!
