30 minutes – rock/pop… introducing Next To Beluga

Back in the Paris Shed, Jonny Sly picked Next To Beluga out as his entry for 2007’s EuroVirtual competition, and while the Danes might not have won the competition overall, they won the hearts of many of our regular listeners.

Copenhagen’s finest are back, now on shed.fm, with the pop-tastic Love Composer, and remain the band that the Cardigans could – and should – have become instead of going off into out and out rock. Proper sugar-coated pop songs. Their latest album, Out of Place, is available through Digivision, and you can buy it here on iTunes - we recommend that you do.

Next To Beluga are: Sara Futtrup Lund (lead + backing vocals + songwriter),
Sidsel Storm: (backing vocals + glockenspiel),
Karen Bach: (Keys + backing vocals),
Ole Lindholm: (drums),
Thomas Marcussen: (bass)

Also in this 30 minutes, you’ll find the brilliant, but sadly no longer with us, Kimlico, along with Major Major, Drunksouls, Marie Tueje and the brilliant accapella of Ruby Wood.

• Kimlico – Superhero
• Next to Beluga – Love Composer
• Drunksouls – No More Fighting
• Major Major – No Rhyme
• Amelie – Do It Over
• Marie Tueje – Killer in the Road
• Ruby Wood – The Fact is I Need You
