Heads up to J.A. for this one. Seems like Caspar , who once used to be one half of Champagne Riot , has found himself a new alias and is now creating music as The Undefeated . Not much information available (yet?), but it seems like his working on creating his own songs, so ironically (that’s a quote) his first effort is a remix. However the remix in question is quite a feat, as he’s somehow managed to make the nearly perfect [...]
Been working on a new blog...in Danish. Not really sure why, but I probably just need some fresh air or something. Check it out if you like. Vote in the annual Matinée fan club poll . Not that many releases to choose from, but the few ones put out this year were good ones! + Champagne Riot - Moonstruck Here’s a brand new (and darn good) demo track from [...]
Boxstr continues being absolutely useless. Seems like it's (occasionally) possible to download songs previously uploaded, but for the past two/three weeks it hasn't been possible to upload anything. Happy I'm "only" paying for two accounts... Has Champagne Riot called it quits? Looks like it I'm afraid. You'll be missed guys, though I'm pretty confident that we'll soon hear news from Caspar (at least)! Grab their latest (and last?) song Alcohol Kisses for a tweet . [...]
Champagne Riot has uploaded a brand new (demo) track. It's quite catchy and has that "typical" Champagne Riot sound (if such a thing exists?)! Alcohol Kisses (demo) by CHAMPAGNE RIOT
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars When I first got a press release of Champagne Riot , I expected that one of the participating members of Northern Portrait would bring me more hooks of the angular sort. Not surprisingly, the Moonstruck EP definitely has plenty of hooks on it, but with a more delicate electronic bend, as opposed to my preconceived power-pop sort. "Moonstruck" begins the affair with a nice little intro, but then this pounding rhythmic groove jumps in, [...]
Champagne Riot have just released a new four track EP titled, ‘Moonstruck EP’, on Matinée Recordings . The Danish duo continue along their journey of slick ElectroPop with a quirky Scandinavian edge. The title track is a prime example of the sophisticated electronic music that these guys produce. Owing equally to the 80s and contemporary Indie-Electro the track is rounded and retro without sounding like a homage to anything. A cavernous sounding chorus is complimented by introverted Indie verses. Defiantly worth a listen. [...]
If you know me, you probably know that I think Matinee Recordings is one of the top 2 indie labels (the other being Captured Tracks ), and they've got me excited all over again. They've just put out the newest work from Champagne Riot , which features the bassists of neat-pop group Northern Portrait. The four song collection is titled the Moonstruck EP . The lead track "Moonstruck" definitely has more of an electric feel than a great deal of the work on [...]

Maybe it's just me but I can't recall a January like it for quality releases. Bodes well for 2011 and the good tunes just keep rolling, this time courtesy of Matinée Recordings and their newest signings (and our old pals) Champagne Riot. The 'Moonstruck' EP will be with us in March but the title track is available straight away to get you worked into an electro trance. 'Heartstab' is also included (track 3) and you'll know how much we heart that one as it featured in our top 42 songs from last year. 'Moonstruck' sees the Danish duo [...]
Fragile , a new track by The Blueflowers , can be streamed from the band’s Facebook page . Taken from their forthcoming album In Line With The Broken-Hearted .

I know I’ve mentioned Champagne Riot quite a few times recently. But for a real good reason as things are happening. Good things! First of all the duo will be supporting The Drums on their European Tour in December. They’ll be at a sold out Lille Vega on the 9th. Bring it to the masses boys! The first or (as the band prefers to call it) debut EP as a duo will be out on [...]
OK! No more whining about the computer at home not working. If I stop turning the blind eye to the truth, fact is that 95% of the blogging I do is done from work, so what’s the big deal really? Nothing I admit, but it just feels good whining every once in a while and as you’ve probably noticed I never waste an opportunity to do just that. But I give you my word that this will be it for now. Yes I know it is December and yes I know I (sort of) promised to [...]

Champagne Riot writes that the track Moonstruck has been added to the P3 playlist . And indeed it’s true . In the same post they add that they ( like the rest of us ) have given up on Myspace ! Moonstruck Anyone heard of (or perhaps remember) Kind of girl ; a band I used to hype ? If you [...]
Click on any image to enlarge | All photographs by Sonny Malhotra Tonight sees the Nordic musical goodness of Ja Ja Ja return for its ninth stint at The Lexington. Curated by Stephen Bass of Moshi Moshi Records, tonight’s line up promises performances from Reykjavík born and raised Lára Rúnars, the Copenhagen based duo Champagne Riot and current TLOBF favourites Niki and The Dove. Having released her debut album Standing Still in 2003, Lára Rúnars has the honour of stepping up first. The sultry, gritty vocals and [...]
Champagne Riot is the brainchild of two Scandinavians, Caspar Bock and Anders Reuter. Recording from a damp basement in the violent concrete ghetto of Copenhagen they make electronic pop songs, which are true, necessary and straight from the heart.
Their universe is part rebellion, part romance. Part sugar, part lunacy. Part daydreaming - part nightly raids. 0% phony and 100% real. No compromises, no common sense. And no plan B.
Their debut EP entitled Moonstruck will be out late 2010. Champagne Riot will appear at the TLOBF sponsored [...]
Sexy electro-pop. We love it. Especially if there’s something a little bit camp and bubblegum in its construction. And this is exactly what Danish duo Champagne Riot do. They make mocha sweet but ever so slightly downbeat sugar rich songs from the same stall as The Sound of Arrows and The Pet Shop Boys “from a damp basement in the violent concrete ghetto of Copenhagen.” Not that their sound is at all damp, violent or anyway as tough as concrete. In fact when we first heard their music we envisaged Caspar Bock and Anders Reuter - who are [...]
...that has been quite a long break! Although it seemed to me that I have been listening to music constantly, I couldn't really concentrate on what I was listening to. Shame, really, as there's been quite a few good things around, like the arrival of Northern Portrait 's clear-vinyl 73-single Life Returns To Normal (aahh... the good, old vinyl-collector's days... ), or the announcement of Champagne Riot 's new EP, to be released [...]
