Aarzemnieki says thank you all for voting and for the love

Even though Aarzemnieki didn't qualify to the final last night, they had a great time on stage. After the show they said they really felt the love and support from the audience in the B&W Arena and they was very happy with their performance. We definitely think so as well! Their performance was 300% musical power, with authentic flavour and no extra sugar added, and they filled their cake with love and shared it with Europe.

Family members of the group and many other contestants (like Conchita and Hersi) came to congratulate the band for an amazing performance. The groups said they have no regrets about the outcome, they send their love to all their competitors that went trough to Saturday's Grand Final, and want to thank all those who voted for them. They feel every competing country gave it their best last night in the love for the music, and that's what it's all about. Now, they will enjoy the rest of their stay in Copenhagen and cheer for all of their competing friends on Saturday! Go Team Cake, we are proud of you!

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.

Aarzemnieki doing their thing

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!

Aarzemnieki doing their sound check. Everyone is very focused.

Time for the concert!

 

Flag fun!

Great night @ EuroClub

2Pixies were silent as a kitten with woollen mittens...

While Aazemnieki recorded their backings for the interval act in the final, 2Pixies were attending and were allowed to take some pictures - BUT WERE VERY VERY SILENT! At least we hope so!

We can't bring the sound to you, but here are the pictures.

 

Even though that we can't bring you a teaser from the studio, we are allowed to bring you this nice jam session the group made while waiting for the bus.

Come #JoinUs @Euroclub for a Wicked Wednesday!

Come and join the fun at EuroClub's Wicked Wednesday, round midnight.
Aarzeminieki will perform their Eurovision song on stage together with the artists from the Romanian entry Paula Seling and Ovi and probably many other fun acts.

Be there and be WICKED!
