My Bubba & Mi

Here is something a bit more folksy, but what a combination a band based out of Denmark who recorded their debut record in Italy and sing in English. My Bubba & Mi is an acoustic folk trio consisting of three beautiful women from Denmark, Sweden and Iceland who play all the instruments (banjo, dulcimer, guitar, stand up bass, etc) and wrote the bulk of the songs on the record. Their new record is called How It’s Done In Italy. And you can sneak a peek here.

Bubba moved in when My was doing the dishes in the kitchen. While emptying her boxes she heard singing from out there. The next day, she grabbed My by the arm and wished for a harmony on a lullaby she was writing - Apple spell. They sang for some months in each others’ bedrooms in the tiny Copenhagen apartment, and then Mia moved in, with her organs. That summer they had each other as pillows and pancakes, musically. Practice now took place in the kitchen, before breakfast or after midnight. None of them knew where they were going, but they ended up being invited to Italy, and just now, came back from their second visit, with a record of themselves in the backpack.  Mybubba&mi

Fuck the pain away

Video from the concert given at the record release March 25th  at Cafe Bartof, Copenhagen by the girls My, Bubba (Guðbjörg) and Mia.
In their own words;
FINALLY, the doggone record is here, darn it!
Come and get yours and hear the songs in person at the Release Pow Wow,
and bring a friend who needs a treat!
We are thrilled to await you!
A record release that was memorable as the records hadn´t arrived in time from Italy. So the setup was to buy the cover and get the vinyl later.
