Rugsted & Kreutzfeldt

Among Denmark’s most beloved rock and roll duos, Rugsted & Kreutzfeldt began slowly, using their two debut albums finding very little interest before breaking to the pop awareness all together in 1981. The set fulfilled in 1977, as both Jens Rugsted and Stig Kreutzfeldt had been working at Lovely Silence Studios within an executive capacity. Discovering that that they had a similar flavor and path, musically speaking, both began to focus on paths in enough time slot machines not really occupied by booked documenting artists, and finally landed a cope with CBS Information, who released their debut collection — the 11-monitor Rugsted Kreutzfeldt — in 1979. The recording was a significantly less than stellar vendor, only moving several thousand copies, however the label held the set, and in 1980 released the follow-up, Rugsted Kreutzfeldt 2. But that was all to improve with an appearance on the television music system the following yr, which modified the fortunes from the duo permanently. Their functionality on the display Play Up resulted in a sea transformation in sales because of their initial two albums — getting both near the top of the Danish record charts — aswell as invitations to execute for a lot more than 50,000 in Tivoli and in addition at that summer’s Roskilde Festival. Even more live performances — all smashing successes — implemented, and in 1982 the duo released its third album, 3. In 1983, Rugsted & Kreutzfeldt had taken selected monitors off their first three albums and translated them into British for the full-length British release. With achievement firmly set up, and a little bit of space with which to inhale and exhale, the set decided on a rest, and each documented a solo record. However the break had not been to last, and in 1984 the set returned towards the fore, launching Earth Contact, with lyrics compiled by Berit Grane Poulsen. A tour implemented, and Rugsted & Kreutzfeldt — for true this time around — known as it per day. While the set would continue to appear jointly and make for other performers, the duo since it have been known was forget about. They caused Kim Larsen, Sanne Salomonsen, and Lis Sørensen, but didn’t discharge or generate any function under their previous moniker, even when confronted with massive well-known pressure to take action. Ultimately, in 2006, the set decided to supply the people what they needed, and Rugsted & Kreutzfeldt had been back again, playing a greatly effective concert in Tivoli (the website of 1 of their first triumphs), which in turn led to several displays in Denmark. A package set release from the pair’s function continued to considerable product sales, and in 2008, Gar Fennem Tiden, 1977-2007 would maximum at number 3 within the Danish recording charts. That yr would also start to see the Danish rock and roll royalty play to hundreds on the summertime festival circuit.
