Pictures from last nights performance in EuroClub

Aminata was invited to sing on the big EuroClub stage last night.

She sang her latest single release 'Fighter' and dedicated it to those who knows the feeling of having the need to fight for something; a very nice and comforting message.
Her performance was sharp, cool, effortless and fantastic. That girl has a great voice.

You can watch a glimpse of it here  Aminata - Fighter

She sealed the deal with her song from last years Eurovision in Vienna, 'Love Injected'.

Busy Nordic Friday

Friday was a busy day for the Latvian delegation. The weather in Stockholm greeted us with sun, sun sun! A perfect day to take a stroll in the city of Eurovision.

Justs met up with Laura from Belgium and longboarded his way through the Tunnelbana and streets of Stockholm:

Do you wanna watch Justs longboarding!

Let's Just(s) take a moment to...

An interrogation of a Drama Queen!

2Pixies is known for being big time curious and therefor they have arrested the hostess of the Champagne Lounge in Euro Club for an interrogation. Hear all about what’s on the program, the secrets behind the dress and all about nothing in our quest for the utterly spectacular show-truth!

 

Let the interrogation interview begin.

First of all you need to know. You have the right to have a glamorous lawyer. All you say will be used and abused in the best possible way.

State your full name?

DQ: My name is DQ - Drama Queen

Your age?

DQ: My age – You bitch!

That remark will be noted! Occupation please?

DQ: Singer and entertainer.

What are you warring and why?

DQ: I'm warring a smashing blue dress, because I like blue. Do you like it?

Yes, but we are the ones asking questions - not you!

Tell us about this "champagne lounge". What time does it open and close?

DQ: It opens most nights at ten o'clock and closes at four.

And why do you want us to come to this champagne lounge?

DQ: Because it's the best place to be in Euroland. And because I'm there to host it and there will be a lot of fun stuff happening like sing-along and quizzing. A LOT!

Alright! Are you sure there are no hidden agendas?

DQ: hehe… Noooo! None that I know of!?

Hmmm… Will there be champagne?

DQ: We have cava. Is that okay for you?

(…)

Will there be bodyguards?

DQ: Yes of cause, lots of them, what do you think!

Will there be go-go dancers?

DQ: If anyone in the audience feels like being wild go-go dancers, then yes there will!

Meaning, that you secretly hope so!  Will there be singing?

DQ: There will be a lot of singing.

Who will sing?

DQ: ME - of cause! And of cause people from the audience will sing. Everybody can sing, 2Pixies can sing if you want to.

(…) 

So we have heard that you are good friends with Tina Turner and Birthe Kjær. Is that correct?

DQ: Oh yeah! We are very good friends you know! And I sing their songs.

Will they stop by at some point?

DQ: Maybe. You'll never know.

Alright. You said there will be quizzing.

DQ: Yes there will be quizzing and there will be good prizes too.

Okay, what can WE win?

DQ: You can win… well I will let that be a surprise.

Okay, so what are the answers for these quizzes? Where do we find the answers?

DQ: Ehh… If you now anything about Eurovision, especially this year you will know the answers. But I wont tell you.

Okay thank you for being interrogated, we will be back with more questions during the last days of Eurovision. You can go now!

DQ: And thank you for letting me go.

Aarzemnieki walked the Eurovision Fan Mile

Yesterday was a busy day for Team Cake To Bake. They had arranged two visits to two of the most famous bakeries in Copenhagen, and afterwards they went for a stroll on the fan mile on Copenhagen's famous shopping street.

Even though that it was in the middle of the rush hour Aarzemnieki got the opportunity to meet the Danes first hand. For every stop they made they made sure to take their time to meet each and everyone properly, to share thoughts and of course to take pictures.

2nd rehearsal day for Aarzemnieki

This morning Aarzemnieki left their hotel very early to attend their 2nd rehearsal at the B&W Arena.

Today they opened the arena for the press and that gave the group someone to perform to, which added a bit more BADABING to their stage presence.

Total harmony on stage

And then a bow to the audience

After rehearsals it's time for the press conference.

During the short press conference they answered questions like which cakes they liked, what to drink while eating cake and Katrīna Dimanta was asked how it was for her to be in a band with three boys, when she is used to work closely together with her sisters home in Latvia. She answered that she has a big family with four brothers, so she don't think about it, she likes to work with both boys and girls.

Katrina and the boys!

Tonight Aarzemnieki will perform at Euro Fan Cafe round 21:00.
See you there!

EuroClub was Awesome-nieki

Wicked Wednesday at EuroClub turned into total Awesome-niekiness when the Latvian group took center stage, and performed for the accredited press and fans. We got some video clips for you here.

Of course they sang their Eurovision entry "Cake To Bake". Raitis on cajon (thanks to 4Sound here in Copenhagen for lending it to us!), Guntis on sax, Jöran strummed his guitar and Katrina rocked the violin!

Aarzemnieki also performed the classic Eurovision winner "Love Shine A Light". The audience was amazing - great night!

Flag fun!

Great night @ EuroClub
