Congrats to my friends from the Blue Van for finally getting the break they deserve. Their single "Man Up" will be used on ABC's new show of the same name. Denmark's favorite indie retro rockers will now be heard on prime time every Tuesday night this fall on ABC.
After postponing the original UK release date of The Blue Van 's new album Love Shot - to fit in with their European summer tour schedule - Iceberg Records announce a new release date of September 5th 2011. Love Shot is the fourth studio album by Denmark natives The Blue Van. Its release on September 5th 2011 will mark five years of progress from their debut studio session which produced the EP - A Session with The Blue Van - that was the catalyst for their [...]
Yes yes yes you have all heard The Blue Van story… this band went to kindergarden together and started the band at the age of 12 because they heard Jimi Hendrix for the first time on a TV commercial. That they also found an organ in a chicken coup, practiced in a deaf grandmothers basement, and are from a town of 200 people that doesn't even have a stop sign. The bands still in their 202s and have no signs of slowing down. After more than 15 sync placements including a [...]
Denmark's rock outfit The Blue Van were the lucky ones to land themselves into one of today's most talked about technological gadgets. Their song "There Goes My Love" was featured in the new Apple iPad commercial. A frolicking crunchy guitar track with an anthemic chorus could be the track to get viewers excited about the [...]
The first TV spot for Apple's iPad premiered last night at the Oscars. I know a lot of people have already written this device off mainly due to it's similarities to the iPhone / iPod Touch, but I'm still in the "interested" camp. I won't be lining up for this device, but I'd certainly love to get my hands on one. The iPad ad is a fairly simple but well-executed spot that shows off many of the capabilities with some fast-paced editing and angular guitar music (Side note: If you freeze the ad you can see the albums [...]
Wenn in Dänemark der blaue Bus kommt, ist jedem klar, wo es hin geht: In die Irrenanstalt nämlich. Statt an Psychopathen oder Männer in weißen Kitteln denkt man bei der Musik der dänischen Band The Blue Van allerdings eher an farbenprächtig angemalte und süßlich riechende VW-Busse, in denen Musiker und Fans durch die Lande reisen. Das rollende Schlagzeug, der wohlig warme Bass, die eingestreuten Backing Vocals und die vintagemäßig angezerrte Gitarre – alles im Opener „Be Home Soon" klingt vertraut nach den 60ern. Nach einer Zeit also, in der Rock ohne Blues kaum [...]
I was born in New England, so I naturally hated New York City growing up (fuck the Yankees and if I hear that Jay-Z song one more time I'll kill a litter of puppies). I still hate mostly everything about the city, but I have to admit that there is some serious music coming out of the Big Apple. I was recently turned on to the repertoire of Brooklyn's Streetlab and although I'm not too psyched about their original music, their ability to put together a face-slapping remix is for realz. Their rendition of Passion Pit's Sleepyhead first caught my [...]
Coming off their latest album, Man Up , Denmark's The Blue Van have been touring and promoting their music to make a mark in the U.S. After winning Knox Road's coveted Most Promising Band at Siren 2009 award, frontman Steffen Westmark answered my burning questions about breaking the U.S. scene, going nuts onstage and escaping the Danish "Barbie Girl" legacy.

For one day each summer, the carnies, sun worshippers and other eccentric denizens of in-season Coney Island must share the fairways and boardwalk with thousands of people in their 20s who have made the trek out for a long, hot day of live music. The Village Voice's Siren Festival is not for the faint of heart or ear; while there are only two stages, 14 bands play throughout the day and it's a real challenge to navigate through hordes of people unwilling to budge, lest they sacrifice their hard-won spot in the blistering sunshine. That is, unless you [...]
After having been asked to headline the Village Voice 's infamous Siren Festival at the historic Coney Island for several years, Built to Spill finally accepted the honor, following in the footsteps of some of indie rocks latest and greatest such as Ra Ra Riot , Broken Social Scene , Steven Malkmus and the Jicks , New York Dolls , M.I.A , Cursive , Popwreckoning favorites White Rabbits , TV on the Radio , and Death [...]
I won't spend time beating around the bush on this one, guys: all of us at KR agree that The Blue Van is going to be huge, and I mean huge like Lars Von Trier 's ego is huge. (Suck on that obscure reference, hipsters! Haha!) Their music is beginning to make the rounds as we speak, appearing on television shows and commercials. It's about damn time, too, if lead singer Steffen Westmark is to be believed. Lee got to speak to him for a bit and found out that they've been doing this for [...]

About a month ago, a great remix album was released- Nat King Cole: Re: Generations . It features classic Nat King Cole songs remixed by a number of great artists like The Roots, Cee-Lo, Bebel Gilberto, Stephen and Damien Marley, Cut Chemist, Brazilian Girls, Nas & Salaam Remi, and TV on the Radio. It's an unbelievable remix album. When I talk with people who think classic songs should be left alone, I'll be sure to bring up this album to show them why I disagree. [...]

The Blue Van: "Man Up" (album review)
Jun 16, 2010, 7:17am
Snob's Music
Snob's MusicThis week Danish band The Blue Van released their new album Man Up. The record sounds eerily familiar from the first listen. That may be because there is nothing terribly different or uniquely memorable about what the band does. They play guitar-driven alternative rock, which features decent, but not exceptional hooks. It might sound flippant to suggest that the band's music sounds like

AWmusicWhen my friend and I heard the Blue Van , we were sure they were an American band. For sure an American band heavily influenced by the band of the 60s. Boy were we wrong. The Blue Van is a band from Denmark. We were way off mark. Fun fact about this band, they named themselves after the blue van ("Den blå varevogn") that collects the mentally ill in Denmark. Funny. And so, here I am listening to the collectors of the mentally ill. I'm pretty sure [...]
