I am sitting here at work reading my Danish newspaper. All of the sudden there is in typical Danish manner an article about a pop-star that has been declined a tax rebate on clothing and make-up, essential to her work...
Although that is obviously a story in itself, plenty of news papers are covering that and hence I rather want to focus on her, the singer...
Last year you were bombarded on the radio with the track "From Paris to Berlin" and although I knew it was Danish I never got as far as to know it was by a band called Infernal.
So when I all of the sudden see the singer of Infernal is named Line Rafn the penny has dropped. Line is the daughter of my favourite teacher from primary school, Lone.
Besides from being my teacher through out many years, Lone was also one of the key people behind the AIDS information and event group (Ung Sikker Sex), which I was heavily involved in back in the early nineties. Lone ALWAYS had her guitar with her, hence the family must have a musical gene
I remember that Line back in those days where quite involved as a DJ at Niverød Lokal Radio or Kanal 100 as I recall it was also called at some stage.
Anyways no time for writing, I must get down to HMV before they close to buy the album...
