Eventzia 30/10 2009 ved Waves i Greve
 Jeg var meget spændt da familien drog af sted til Hundige Storcenter, nu kaldet Waves. Det var ikke fordi at vi skulle se alle de nye butikker, nej, det var koncerten med Outlandish der skulle foregik ude på parkeringspladsen kl. 19. Det var første gang vi skulle se dem live, selvom vi havde fulgt dem siden deres første single udkom. Det havde været et flot solrigt efterårsvejr, men her til aftenen blev det rigtigt koldt
2/Tue var så heldig at stå helt forrest ved scenen, så han kunne få nogle gode billeder. Lukas, vores søn og jeg begav os hen ved hegnet i siden og ventede tålmodigt til de Outlandisher, som Lukas kalder dem, kom på scenen. Så skete det store øjeblik, de kom friske og veloplagte ud og Waqas fortalte lidt om sit forhold til centret, inden de startede. Vi hørte de første 2 sange, så måtte jeg desværre gå indenfor.
Jeg havde trodsede den høje feber og var bare taget af sted, men nu måtte jeg opgive. Men efter at have siddet lidt indenfor og have se nogle af de nye butikker gik vi tilbage igen. Vi havde nemlig den første single med, Saturday Night, som vi gerne ville have signeret. Vi kiggede forskrækket på den tomme plads, men åndede lettet op, da vi så Waqas, Lenny og Isam stå henne i siden og skrive autografer.
Men hvor var 2/Tue henne? Han havde singlen, stor eftersøgningen var i gang. Vi drønede ind i centret og fandt ham siddende i en sofa i Bilka. Nu skulle der løbes, troede vi. Tue kom først derhen og de var der heldigvis stadig. Jeg måtte lige holde nogle pauser og nåede lige derhen, for at høre Waqas sige: Respect, man, da han så singlen. Jeg trak vejret besværet og det hørte Waqas vist, for han vendte sig om og så bekymret om mig. 1000 tak for jeres omsorg og hyggelige samtale. Jeg var glad for at jeg tog af sted! Vi fik en masse gode billeder og en video med Rock all day til mindet om en fantastisk oplevelse.

Eventzia 30/10 2009 near Waves in Greve
 I was very excites when my family went to Hundige Shoppingcenter, now known as Waves. It was not because of all the new shops, no, it was the gig with Outlandish that was held out in the parking yard at 7.00AM. It was the first time for us to see them live, even though we’ve been following them since their first single was published years ago. The weather this October day had been sunny, but the evening was cold almost freezing.
2/Tue was lucky to stand at the front of the stage, to take some nice shots. Lukas, our son and I went to the fence, patiently waiting for the Outlandisher, as he calls them, came on stage. The big moment came, when they fresh and well fitted entered and Waqas told of their relationship to the Shoppingcenter, before they became a band. We heard the first 2 songs, when I unfortunately had to get inside.
I ignored my fever, just for to see them, but I gave up. Though, after a short while sitting inside, and looking at the new shops, we went back again. We had their first single ever published, Saturday night, which we wanted their autograph on. We looked scared at the empty space, but were relieved, when we saw the boys standing behind the stage, signing autographs.
But where was 2/Tue? He had the single. A bigger search was going on. We jumped inside finding Tue sitting in a sofa in the store. We had to run, we thought. But Tue was the first to be where we were fortunate, Outlandish was still signing. I breathed heavily and Waqas must have heard it, because he turned around and looked worried at me. A thousand thanks for your consideration and placid conversations. I was glad for the decision to go see Outlandish. We got some nice pictures and a video with the song: Rock all day a reminder of a fantastic experience.

Eventzia 30/10 2009 ved Waves i Greve
 Den første opgave med den internationalt kendte trio, Outlandish, jeg er ude for at indfange deres idé. Jeg står og observerer publikum. Nogle spændt på gruppens optræden, andre på hastig vej væk for ikke at blive påvirket, måske opdage ar de tog fejl af mange ting. Men endelig er alt klar og de 3 spiller så kulden springer af knoglerne. Interessen for min tilstedeværelse har været stor, om jeg kender dem nok til at sige hvor de oprindeligt kommer fra, hvilke sprog de bruger i deres tekster, og jeg svarer høfligt, lidt nervøst måske. For selvom man er vidende om andre kulturer kan det til tider være en hæmsko fordi omgivelserne fordømmer disse typer og omtaler dem som alt andet end det de selv ser sig som. Jeg forbløffes over deres indfaldsvinkler til musikken og poesien.
Senere da jeg møder Outlandish bag scenen, ser de at jeg har deres første single nogensinde, det vækker glæde og Waqas siger: RESPEKT. Autografer bliver skrevet, og et par aftaler kommer nogenlunde på plads.

Eventzia 30/10 2009 near Waves in Greve
 I am on the first assignment, about the international known hip hop band, Outlandish. I am here to catch their idea. I stand and observe the audience. Some excited for the bands gig, others hastily running away for not being –påvirket- perhaps questioning themselves if they misunderstood. But at last everything is ready and all 3 perform, so all cold jumps off my bones. The attention of my being there has been of much interest, if I know them well enough to know their origins and which languages they use in the lyrics. And I answer politely, but a little nervous perhaps. Even for a wise man as I, who knows of many cultures, can sometimes feel the prejudice from my surroundings that has so much against that kind of people. I am amazed of the way they work with their music and poetry in the lyrics.
Later, when I meet Outlandish behind the scene, I show them their first single ever, and Waqas say with joy: Respect. I get autographs and some appointments.

Eventzia 13/12 2009 til Hopenhagen på Rådhuspladsen
 Da vi endnu en gang kunne opleve Outlandish live måtte vi af sted til Rådhuspladsen. Tue fandt sig en god plads i nærheden af scenen og min søn og jeg gik bagom for at se på alle de smarte el biler. Det var ikke hver dag man så at der skulle sættes stik i kontakten for at oplade bilen.
Tiden gik hurtigt og vi skyndte os tilbage da de første toner af I only ask of god ramte Rådhuspladsen. Det var en fantastisk oplevelse at se og høre dem, men endnu mere med den sydafrikanske ærkebiskop Desmond Tutu, som smilende dansede til den smukke sang. Denne gang overværede jeg det meste af koncerten og det var en utrolig energi de havde alle 3, selv om den første frost bankede på. Men det klarede Waqas med at få publikum til at hoppe, så stemningen var på det højeste blandt publikum. Selvom koncerten varede mere end 1 time, gik det for hurtigt. De fik sunget alle ørehængerne, selv Kom igen var med og den glade Let of some steam.
Vi skyndte os bagom scenen, da Outlandish takkede af til et stort velfortjent bifald. Vi fik lige hilst på hilst på Isam og Vicky Singh, inden vi begav os hjem med hovedet fyldt af oplevelser og kameraet fyldt med specielle billeder, for en del af dem er portrætfotos. Så det var den helt rigtige beslutning vi tog i november om at lave et website på dansk/engelsk med Outlandish. Vi håber på mange flere oplevelser og billeder, også fra jer af. Kom endelig med jeres Eventzia, gerne sammen med nogle billeder, så de kan pryde dette website.

Eventzia 13/12 2009 to Hopenhagen at Rådhuspladsen
 The day we again were able to see Outlandish live, we had to go to Rådhuspladsen. Tue found a good spot close to the stage; my son and I went backstage to watch the fancy power saving cars. It is not every day you could see a car being recharged to drive.
Time went quickly by and we hurried back to the first tones of I ONLY ASK OF GOD hitting Rådhuspladsen. It was a fantastic event to see and listen to them, but even more with South African archbishop Desmond Tutu, who was dancing and smiling to the beautiful song. This time I watched the most of the concert, and it was astonishing how much energy the 3 of them had, in spite of the first taste of winter. But Waqas had a solution for the cold, he wanted people to jump around, filling the audience with joy. Even though the concert lasted more than an hour, it went too fast. The band performed all their greatest, such as KOM IGEN and LET OFF SOME STEAM.
We hurried backstage when Outlandish ended their performance to great applause from the public. We said hello to Isam and Vicky Singh, before we turned home, with the head filled with experience and the camera full of beautiful pictures, exclusive pictures, as more of them could be used as portrait photos. It seemed like the right decision we took making a website for them in Danish and English. We hope for more events and pictures, from you, too. Do come by with your eventzia, take some pictures we can put on along, so they can be watched on this site.

Eventzia 13/12 2009 til Hopenhagen på Rådhuspladsen
 Budskabet er bare så vigtigt og manden er solgte det bedst står og viser Gud græde enten af glæde eller sorg. Ingen opdager at samme mand tager sig en dans med bandet der lige nu spiller, og som Deres udsendte har fået til opgave at få på billeder. Det er en oplevelse der ikke skal gå mig forbi. Pludselig er han væk og Outlandish giver den med livsglæde og et publikum der ønsker at blive rystet i deres grundvold. De danser, lytter, synger med og lader sig lede til at råbe med. Hele byen tror og håber på det, en flok idioter senere ignorerer og tager hjem uden at have lyttet. Men det er ikke sangernes skyld eller Desmond Tutus for Rådhuspladsen gav den alt det jorden havde brug for af støtte. Det er bare ikke nok til at få den på ret køl. Det ved vi og det ved alle dem der kun kom for at lukke munden på dem der lider, og ser på katastrofernes floder hver dag. Dem der har så mange fine ord for begrebet løgn, men bare ikke siger det lige ud. De har tegnet fine tegninger, men ser ikke billederne der tilbageviser deres påstande. Men på pladsen hvor vi er med, tror vi på de ord en stor mand sagde, og den performance Outlandish udviste, professionelt overrumplede af en kjortelklædt

Eventzia 13/12 2009 to Hopenhagen at Rådhuspladsen
 The message is so important and the man who is the best to sell it stands on the stage, showing God crying, of joy or grief. No on discovers that the same man takes a dance with the band, which now is playing, and is those I am taking pictures of. The event that I, for all in the world, mustn’t miss. Suddenly he is gone and Outlandish play their songs with enthusiasm and an audience that wants to be shaken. They dance, listen, sing along. The whole city believes that a climate solution is at hand, and hope that a bunch of idiots awakes, but they ignored the message and went home witout listening. It was not Desmond Tutus fault or the band’s, for Rådhuspladsen gave all to Earth that it needed of support. It was just not enough to get it straight. We know and everybody that came just for to close the mouths on those who suffer, know, and watches the floods of catastrophe every day. Those who have so many fine words for lying, but just not say it loud. They have drawn so many images, but don’t see the pictures which draw back their claiming. But the place where we stand, we believe in the words a great man said, and the performance Outlandish showed, they were professional though turned over by an archbishop.

Eventzia 7/5 2010 til Tingbjerg Byfest
 Selvom det var 2/Tues fødselsdag tog vi af sted helt ud til Tingbjerg for at se og møde Outlandish igen. Det tog lidt over 1 time førend vi stod ved Tingbjerg Skole. Tue gik hen og fandt den rette plads foran scenen og havde hånden på kameraetJ Vejret var gråt og skyet, men det holdt tørt. Min søn og jeg blev lidt urolige, da kl. var 19.05 og vi så Jonas og Turkman forlade stedet. Vi besluttede os for at gå ud og kigge efter Outlandish. Der kom mange biler, men ikke dem. 15 minutter efter så vi Jonas og Turkman komme tilbage og sørme om Lenny, Isam og Waqas ikke gik bag dem. Det var en stor gensynsglæde, da vi blev opdaget, så der blev udvekslet kram og håndtryk. Vi skulle møde dem bagefter. De er altid så imødekommende og flinke, også når de er forsinket.
De kom, så og sejrede. Det var en anderledes sætliste, men utroligt dejligt at høre andre sange med den glæde og energi de har for dagen. Waqas kom ned foran for at optage ustream og der kom 3 måske kommende rappere, der fik lov til at vise deres talenter op på scenen. Alt har en ende, men det var en brag af en koncert. Mennesker i alle aldre var mødt op. Waqas spøgte i starten med at de var et nyt band fra Tingbjerg. En ældre dame svarede meget bestemt og højt, at det passede i hvert fald ikke!
Bagefter var der autografskrivning og der kom mange hen til hegnet. Waqas så helt forbavset ud, da han opdagede os. Han fik straks en vagt til at føre os backstage. Vi stod spændt bag scenen og ventede til de var færdige. Waqas kom og gav kram og gratulerede Tue og gjorde ham 10 år yngreJ Vi fik autografer, billeder og en god snak. Lenny gav også kram og ville med på billedet. De skulle hurtigt videre til et interview på skolen. Der blev vinket fra bilen, da vi forlod festpladsen også da vi nærmede os skolen, blev der lige vinket en sidste gang.
Det var hele den lange tur værd at se jeres glade ansigter, jeres engagement og selvfølgelig de fantastiske sange, som altid kan tåle et genhør igen, igen, især live. 1000 tak for endnu en mindeværdig oplevelse

Eventzia 7/5 2010 til Tingbjerg Byfest
 Even though it was 2/Tues birthday, we took all the way to Tingbjerg to see, and meet Outlandish again. It took a little over an hour before we stood a TingbjergSchool. Tue went to the right spot in front of the stage and had the hands on the cameraJ the weather were grey and cloudy, but it was dry. My son and I were worried, when the clock was 19.05 and we saw Jonas and Turkman leaving the place. We decided to go out looking for Outlandish. Many cars went by, but not them. After 15 minutes we saw Jonas and Turkman come back and there were Lenny, Isam and Waqas, walking behind them. We were enjoyed by the reunion, giving handshakes and hugs. It was arranged that we should meet them afterwards. They are so friendly and nice, even when they are delayed.
They came, watched and conquered. It was a different set list, but incredibly lovely to hear other songs with the spirit and energy they gave. Waqas came down in front to record ustream and may be 3 rappers went on the stage, with permission to show their talents. All has an end, but it was a great concert. People of all ages showed up. Waqas was joking in the beginning of the show, that they were a new band from Tingbjerg. An elderly woman said laud and distinctly, that it was not true!
Afterwards they were writing autographs and many came to the fence. Waqas looked surprised, when he discovered us. He commanded a security guard, to get us backstage. Thrilled we stood waiting for them to finish. Waqas came and hugged me. Congratulated Tue and made him 10 years youngerJ We got autographs, pictures and a good talk. Lenny also hugged, and wanted to be with us on the picture. They had to hurry for an interview at the school. They waved us goodbye from the car, when we let the festival place and walked towards the school, they waved for a last time.
It was worth the long trip, to see your happy faces, your engagement and of course the great songs, which always hold to be heard again, again, especially live. A thousand thanks for a memorable experience.

Eventzia 7/5 2010 til Tingbjerg Byfest
 Vi var taget til Tingbjerg for at se og tage billeder af Outlandish, en af de få gange de optrådte i Danmark. Vejret var elendigt, mørkt og frysende koldt til trods for at vi var i maj. Det var en lille familie på 3, der kom ind på festpladsen, for at se de tre. efter nogen tid hvor vi havde set os omkring, fandt jeg mig til rette oppe foran scenen, hvor der var ved at blive gjort klar til aftenens koncert. Det var en kold fornøjelse, men til sidst kom de på. og denne aften havde de valgt at fokusere på de gamle hits, samt lidt folkelighed. For pludselig spurgte Waqas om der var nogle rigtige rappere til stede, hvilket fik de unge til at råbe i munden på hinanden. En håbefuld kom op, men havde det vist ligesom brødrene i H. C. Andersens eventyr Klodshans, da de skulle gøre sig kloge, og derefter ikke kunne sige et ord. Næste deltager fik godt nok sagt meget, vredt og fuld af attitude. Sidste deltager der turde kaste sig ud i kampen, kom så med et regulært hit, i støbeskeen, jaja, måske en kommende ny stjerne.
Stemningen var lidt spændt, men bandet var tændt og havde på intet tidspunkt tabt publikum på gulvet. Efter koncerten blev undertegnede og anden halvdel af ls2, halet ind bag sikkerhedsgitteret for at hilse på. jeg fortalte at jeg havde fødselsdag, og brugte tiden på at få billeder af Outlandish. Det blev til gruppebilleder, med Waqas og mig, bandet og Lene. Waqas snuppede kameraet ud af hænderne på mig, og spurgte Lenny om billedet var korrekt. Det er vistnok en aften jeg sent glemmer, også fordi begivenheden inspirerede mig til flere digte.

Eventzia 7/5 2010 til Tingbjerg Byfest
 We were heading for Tingbjerg, to take pictures of Outlandish, one of the few times they were performing in DK. The weather was lousy, dark and freezing cold in spite of that we were in May. We were a small family of 3, coming into the festival place to see the three lads. After a while having a bit of a look around, I found a spot in front of the stage, where the crew were making ready for tonight’s concert. It was no pleasure, but at last they came on. This night they chose on older material, plus a little popularity. Suddenly Waqas asked if there were any rappers in the crowd, which made the youngsters to yell. A hopeful came to the stage, but might have had it as the brothers in H. C. Andersens fairy tale Clumsy Hans, when they had to show themselves as wise and witty, but couldn’t say a word. The next one said so many things, angrily and full of attitude. The last competitor, who dared to throw himself before the wolves, came with a regular hit, in spoon, maybe a new shooting star.
The mood was a bit tense, but the band was on and did not lose the audience for one second. After the gig I and the other part of LS2, were taken backstage for visiting. I told that it was my birthday, and that I was using the day to take pictures of Outlandish. We took group photos, with Waqas and me, the band and Lene. Waqas grabbed the camera off my hands, and asked Lenny if the picture was correct. This may be the evening I late will forget, also because the event inspired me to more poems.

Eventzia 6/6 2010 til Anatolien Kulturdage!
Jeg var til Anatolien dage, hvor Outlandish skulle komme. Der var en fantastisk stemning, og rigtigt godt vejr. Jeg havde besluttet mig for at til denne koncert, skulle jeg have mange videoer. Det blev dog en sej kamp, for jeg kom lidt for langt væk, og publikummet var langt fra pygmæer.
Rådhuspladsen var fyldt til randen med festglade mennesker. Og stemningen blev endnu mere højstemt da de stod på scenen. Ikke et øje var tørt, ikke en stemme uberørt. Mængden var lydig til at være med på de små indslag Waqas, Isam og Lenny diskede op med. Publikum sang til Aicha, råbte tilråb når de skulle, og meget mere.
Det var sommer denne ene aften, og alle de største af deres sange blev fremført samt den nye Desert Walk.

I was to Anatoliandays, to see Outlandish play. There was a fantastic feeling and the weather was calm. I decided to take videos. Though it became a tough game, because I was too far away, and the audience was not pygmies.
The central square of Copenhagen was filled with partying people. And the mood even higher, when they took to the stage. There were no dry eyes, not a voice untouched. The crowd was with Waqas, Isam and Lenny. They sang to Aicha, yelled back when they were supposed to, and a lot more.
It became summer this one evening, and all their greatest songs were played together with a new hit: Desert Walk.

Eventzia 8/6 2010 til Demostration!
Jeg fik af vide at Outlandish skulle spille inde i København til en demo dagen efter. For første gang tog LS og Lukas alene af sted og jeg var meget spændt på hvad der kom ud af kameraet. Gode eller slørede billeder? Klare eller rystede videoer? Jeg havde jo noget at leve op til, for 2 kunne bare det der med portrætbilleder og rolige, tydelige videoer.
Da vi nærmede os stedet sådan ca. ½ time førend Outlandish skulle optræde, gik der panik i mig. Jeg havde aldrig set så mange mennesker før og vi kunne slet ikke komme frem eller foran scenen. Så vi gik bagved scenen og håbede på at møde dem, for ellers måtte vi tage hjem igen. For den eneste måde man kunne komme ind i mængden på, var hvis man kunne flyve, ikke en gang de mange balloner en mand stod med ville hjælpe.
Men så kom Waqas og Lenny gående. De er altid så imødekommende og glade, så vi fil lov til at komme med backstage. Da de skulle på, fandt Waqas en god plads til mig ved siden af scenen, hvor jeg både fik taget billeder og videoer. De startede med I only ask of God i en anden udgave og vi fik både Man binder os på mund og hånd, I Danmark er jeg født, Danmark tilbage, Desert Walk og lidt flere. Der var virkelig en god stemning blandt publikum, selv om det var svært at se andre ansigter end dem der var på skiltene. Isam bad dem også om at holde dem lige, så han ikke kunne se plakaterne. Som altid er det hurtigt overstået, for man glemmer tid og sted.
Bagefter tog Waqas lige et billede af ham og mig, men så kom Lenny og ville også gerne være med. Vi fik sagt farvel og tak for endnu en dejlig oplevelse.

Eventzia 8/6 2010 til Demostration
I was told that outlandish would play in Copenhagen to a demo the next day. For the first time LS and Lukas took off alone, and I was very excited about what came out of the camera. Good or sloppy pictures, Clear or shaking videos? I had something to live up to, because 2 could make portrait pictures and steady, clear videos.
Then we were near the spot a half hour before outlandish should perform, I panicked. I had never before seen so many people, and we could not come forward or in front of the scene. So we walked back the stage hoping to meet them, or else we had to go home again. For the only way you could get into the crowd, was to fly, not even the many balloons a man stood with would help.
But then Waqas and Lenny came walking. They are always so obliging and happy, so we were allowed to come backstage. When they had to perform, waqas found a good place at the side of the stage, where I both got pictures and videos. They started with I only ask of God in a different version, and we got Man binder os på mund og hånd, I Danmark er jeg født, Danmark tilbage, Desert Walk and a few more. There was a good atmosphere among the audience, though it was hard to see other faces than those on the signs. Isam told them to hold the sign right, so he couldn’t see the posters. As usual it was quickly over, because you forget time and place.
Afterwards waqas took a picture of him and me, but then Lenny came and wanted to be on it too. We said goodbye and thanked for an enjoyable experience.

Eventzia 4/7 2010 på Nemocafe på Christiania
Der var lagt op til spænding denne søndag aften, hvor vi skulle opleve Isam solo og jeg skulle se Christiania for første gang. Det var en lille by i en by og alle hus var dekoreret med en eller anden form for graffiti. Der var mange boder med alle mulige slags ting, også noget man helst ikke skulle se, tys, tys!! ”Du har ikke set noget!!” citat fra pingvinerne fra Madagaskar!
Stedet hvor Isam skulle optræde var udendørs med en tilhørende lille scene. Alle siddepladserne var besat, så folk satte sig på jorden foran scenen. Tue placerede sig stående i midten og jeg fik lige en plads på en bænk i siden. Det var så hyggeligt, for ved hver sang fortale Isam en lille historien og det gav en rigtig god stemning. Bortset fra der var en som lige pludselig væltede, men det var folk vist vant til at se, så the show must go on! Der blev både sunget Outlandish sange, bl.a. Feels like saving the world og Calling u, hans egne og nogle sange fra Carmen 2200. Koncerten varede 1 ½ time.
Vi gik om bagved for at sige tak. Isam blev glad for at vi kom og guidede os ud af Christiania. Det var ikke første gang han havde været der, jo alene. Der blev snakket om alt lige fra koncerten, Christiania og ferie! Tusind tak for en behagelig og underholdende aften, Isam!

Eventzia 4/7 2010 at Nemocafe at Christiania
It seemed to be an exciting Sunday evening, as we were heading for to see Isam solo, and I should see Christiania for the first time. It was a small community in the city, and all the houses were decorated with all sorts of graphite. There were a lot of stalls with all sorts of goods, also things that you weren’t supposed to see, hush, hush!! “You have not seen anything,” quote from the penguins in Madagascar!
The place where Isam should perform was an outdoor café with a little scene. All sitting places were taken, so people sat on ground in front of the stage. Tue placed himself in the middle of the ground, and I was able to find a narrow spot on a bench in one of the sides. It was cosy, because Isam told stories for every song he performed, and that gave his performance a nice touch. Apart from a man who suddenly fell, which often happened, so the show must go on! Isam sang both Outlandish songs such as Feels like saving the world and Calling u, some of his own songs and some from a musical called Carmen 2200. The concert lasted 1½ hour.
We went backstage to say thanks. Isam was happy to see us coming, and guided us out of Christiania. It was not the first time he had been there, yes alone. We talked about everything from the concert, Christiania, to holiday. Thanks a thousand times for a pleasant and entertaining evening, Isam.

Eventzia 4/7 2010 på Nemocafe på Christiania
Det var længe siden, jeg havde været på Christiania så jeg var spændt på at vise stedet til LS som aldrig havde været der før. Vi skulle tage billeder og videoer af Isam, der var på plakaten i café Nemoland. Vi var kommet i god tid, så der var plads til lidt sightseeing. Sommeren havde vist sig fra sin bedste side den dag, og ls2 var spændte på hvad der ville komme til at ske. Klientellet var jo lidt specielt, og atmosfæren emmede a det der gjorde Christiania til en bevaringsværdig del af vor bevidsthed om os selv som danskere. Og netop danskheden var det Isam havde valgt at sætte under lup, med en række af sange fremført på dansk, samt nogle af dem han havde skrevet sammen med de andre i Outlandish. Isam fortalte mange små historier om si liv på scenen og om oprindelsen af mange af hans idéer og optrædener. Det var et lille orkester han havde taget med, der gav en skøn kontrast til sangene med lidt jazzede krydderier og en knivspids Natasha. Det var en fryd at lytte til, en fantastisk oplevelse at se en mand der har så meget at give af. Tiden gik alt for hurtigt, som det nu sker når man er i godt selskab. Bagefter fik vi lejlighed til at møde ham og få et skud intellektuel indsigt.

Eventzia 4/7 2010 på Nemocafe på Christiania
It was a long time since I were in Christiania, so I was excided to show LS, who never had been there before. We came to take pictures of Isam, who was to perform in Café Nemoland. We were there in good time, so we spent it on sightseeing. The summer had shown itself from the best side this particular day, and LS2 was looking forward what to happen. The people were a little peculiar, and the atmosphere oozed of what made Christiania to a place worth to keep as a reminder of us as Danes. And especially the way of Danes Isam had chosen to put on a spot, with a series of songs in performed in Danish, together with some he had created with the others in Outlandish. Isam told a lot of short tales of his life on the stage and the origin of a lot of his ideas and performances. He had a little ensemble with him, which gave a contrast to the songs with a jazzy touch and a bit of Natasha (dead Danish singer, R.I.P). It was a joy listening to him, a fantastic experience to see, and a man who have so much to give of. Time went as quickly as it happens when you are in good company. Afterwards we met Isam behind the stage and got a shot of intellectual insight.

Så oprandt den store dag vi havde glædes os til i lang tid. Se Outlandish i Tivoli!!! Men først skulle vi overvære deres lydprøve tidligt om morgen! Vi blev mødt af en morgenfrisk Waqas, der havde inviteret os. Han havde været der siden kl. 6 pga. optræden i Go’morgen i tv. Vi fik en god og lang lærerig samtale og siden fik vi taget en del billeder og nogle anderledes videoer. Under lydprøven oplevede man hvor godt et samarbejde de havde med bandet og crewet. Det var en hel speciel oplevelse! 2/Tue blev derinde for at få en god plads foran scenen. Jeg ville lige hjem og slappe af, inden min søn og jeg skulle afsted igen om aftenen.
Der var allerede en del mennesker, da vi ankom til Tivoli kl. 18, til forskel om morgen, hvor der var helt tomt og stille. Der var sørme kommet græsmåtter på ved plænen, så det lignede helt Frederiksberg Have, hvor folk sad på tæpper og solede sig. Det havde været et helt fantastisk vejr hele dagen med stegende solskin og skyfri himmel. Kl. 22 gik vi hen ved backstage indgangen. Turboweekend skulle først på og forventningerne var vist blandede, også bemærkningerne fra publikum. Hvem var de? Hvilken musik spillede de? Vi fik lige en hyggelig sludder med DJ Turkman Souljah og Isam. Waqas var vist kommet iflg. Markus, trommeslageren, som ville hente ham. Så endnu en gang fik jeg lige en hurtig snak med ham inden koncerten.
Jeg, min søn og veninde begav os besværligt hen til Tivolis koncertsal, hvor vi fandt nogle gode pladser helt foran. Vi kunne i hvert fald tydeligt se storskærmeneJ Det var et helt andet nummer de startede med, The Emperor’s new beat. Hel formidabel lyd og effekter og de var som altid 110 % på!! Der var en vild god stemning blandt publikum, som var i alle aldre. Men så blev der helt stille, også på scenen. Waqas gik fremm og fortalte om Lene fra Brøndby Strand! Det var jo MIG!! Der slog mit hjerte kolbøtte og min veninde stortudede. De ville dedikere Aicha til mig! Jeg var helt målløs og vidste ikke hvad jeg skulle gøre. Det var min yndlingssang og den har aldrig lydt smukkere end den aften! Publikum var helt med på den og sang med! 1000, 1000 tak, Outlandish. Det var så stort og så foran 40.000 mennesker. Resten af koncerten kom det ene fantastiske nummer efter det andet.
Da det blev til den sidste, begyndte vi at går over imod backstage indgangen. Jeg måtte bare sige tak til dem. Mine ben rystede og hjertet galoperede af glæde. Der var ikke kommet nogen, så vi stillede os lige foran døren. Lenny var den som kom og jeg fik et ordentlig kram. Han var så glad på mine vegne. Waqas var den næste og lige meget hvor glad og rørt jeg var, stod han helt roligt og sagde, at det var så lidt! Det er det flotteste og en virkelig smuk gestus at få. 1000 tak! Efter at have sagt farvel, mødte vi Isam længere frem i gang med autografskrivning. Han sagde også, at det var så lidt! De er al for beskeden. Vi fik en god snak om ferie, Lego og børn. Vores søn Lukas fulgte ivrig med i samtalen.
Endnu en gang 1000, 1000 tak for en begivenhedsrig, fantastisk og overraskende morgen og aften, Waqas, Lenny og Isam!

Eventzia 16/7 2010 to Fridaysrock in Tivoli
Finally the day came, we had looked forward to in a long time. To see Outlandish in Tivoli. But first we were to see them rehearse early in the morning. We were met by an early riser, Waqas, who had invited us. He had been there since 6 in the morning because of a visit to Go’morgen (a TV- program on TV2 Denmark). We had a good and long inspiring conversation and later on pictures and videos, different form the usual. Under the rehearsal you experienced how good a cooperation they had with the band and the crew. It was a unique experience! 2/Tue stayed in Tivoli to get a good spot in front of the stage. I wanted to go home to relax, before my son and I came back again in the evening.
There were already quite a few people, when we reached Tivoli at 6 o’clock, in spite of the morning event, where there was peace and quiet. They had put grass on Plænen, it looked like Frederiksberg Have, where people sat on blankets to take sun. It had been an extremely nice weather the day long, with baking hot sun and cloud free. At 10 in the evening we went to the backstage entrance. Turboweekend was the first to perform, and the expectations were mixed, also the comments from the crowd. Who were they? What kind of music did they play? We got a nice chat with DJ Turkman Souljah and Isam. Waqas were coming according to Markus, the drummer.
I, my son and my girlfriend walked with difficulty towards the Tivoli concert hall, where we found some nice spots in front. We had a good view to the big screens. It was quite another number they started up with, The Emperor’s new beat. A unique sound and effects, as they were all a 100% turned on. There was an ecstatic atmosphere among the crowd, in all ages. But suddenly there was quiet, also on the stage. Waqas went forward and told about Lene from Brøndby Strand! But that was me!! My heart made flick flack and my girlfriend cried heavily. They dedicated Aicha to me! I was speechless and did not know what to do. It was my favourite song and it hadn’t sounded better before than this night! The audience was in on the song, singing together with the band. It was so marvellous and in front of 40.000 people. The rest of the concert they played the one great song after another.
When they sang the last one, we went to the backstage entrance. I had to say thanks to them. My legs shook and the heart throbbed in joy. No one had come yet, so we stood in front of the door. Lenny was the first to come, and I got a big hug. He was happy on my behalf. Waqas was next and as happy and touched as I was, he stood calmly and said: That’s nothing. It was such a beautiful gesture to have.
Yet another 1000, 1000 thanks for an experiencing, fantastic and surprising morning and evening, Waqas, Lenny and Isam!

Eventzia 16/7 2010 til Fredagsrock i Tivoli
LS2 var blevet inviteret til lydprøve med outlandish, og som en tilsnigelse få nogle billeder og film i et uvant miljø. Det var en særpræget oplevelse at se dem gøre sig klar til tivolikoncerten. Vi gik og pjattede og snakkede om alt det der faldt os ind. vi fik også hilst på bandet. Jeg blev tilbage for at holde på en god plads til aftenens koncert. Det viste sig da også at være en klog tanke. Det var hårdt at vente de mange timer, men jeg overvandt den ved at skrive på min bog, Eternal DarkRay. Men da solen var gået ned, og gæsterne var på plads, priste jeg mig lykkelig for at have været det rette sted på det rette tidspunkt. Der var fyldt med mennesker. Vi talte næsten til 50.000. først var det Turboweekend som jeg ikke fik så meget ud af fordi lyden var elendigt justeret, har man ikke lydprøver til det? – men de gav den da gas på scenen. Efter deres optræden ventede vi mens der blev rigget op til Outlandish. Og så var aftenens højdepunkt kommet. De startede med et brag, og havde publikum i hænderne. Den største overraskelse for ls2 var at Outlandish dedikerede Aicha til Lene. Jeg var rørt, men også irriteret, for mit kamera skulle lige strejke så jeg ikke fik taget video. Så er der en venlig sjæl, som har filmet det vil vi meget gerne have en kopi. Men jeg fik da fanget dem i mange gode situationer. Det var stort og det var godt.

Eventzia 16/7 2010 to Fridaysrock in Tivoli
LS2 were invited to rehearsal with Outlandish, and as a bonus get some pictures and videos in an unusual environment. It was a peculiar experience to watch them make ready for the Tivoli concert. We walked with them, talking about everything. We also met the band. I stayed I Tivoli to hold on a good spot for the evening’s event. It turned out to be a clever idea. It was hard to wait the many hours, but overcame it by writing on my book, Eternal DarkRay. But as the sun went down, and the guests came, I realised that it was the right thing I did. The place was filled with people. We counted to nearly 50.000. The first band to enter was Turboweekend, which I couldn’t hear because of a lousy sound that not was adjusted, do they not have rehearsals for do that? – But they had a nice performance. After they were finished, we waited while they were getting ready for the highlight of the evening. They started out with a bang, and had the audience in their bare hands. The greatest surprise was that Outlandish dedicated Aicha to Lene. I was touched but also irritated because of my camera stopped working so I weren’t able to take videos. So if there is someone in the crowd who has taken a shot, please, could we get a copy? – But I did get pictures of them in different situations. It was big and it was great.

Eventzia 8/8 2010 Nemoland på Christiania
Skulle det absolut være i dag, hvor det bare regnede og regnede? Vi var lige kommet hjem fra Norge og skulle se Outlandish om aften på Christiania! Men pyt, paraplyen blev en god følgesvend da vi stor foran Nemoland og så at der allerede var en del mennesker. Vi stod lidt og aftalte hvor vi skulle mødes igen, da Tue jo skal helt foran og fotograferer. Vi blev afbrudt af… var det ikke..? Jo, det var Waqas i egen høje person. Vi fik lige en hyggelig sludder og fik Tue på plads. Derefter fik jeg lige snakket lidt mere med Waqas og ville lige se mig omkring. Måske var der en plads med noget læ. Jeg fandt lige et sted med lidt læ og stod lidt og søgte! Så kom Lenny ud og Waqas lidt efter. Jeg måtte lige vise dem vejen til scenen og ja, så kunne jeg jo lige så godt selv gå derhen.
Jeg fik en god plads på 2. række og nød bare den afslappet stemning blandt publikum. Denne gang var der ingen der faldt. Som altid var de på 110 % på og denne gang kom der lidt nyt. Bl.a. sang de Fugees sang. Se og hør den her! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1hu2T87zyM Hvis I kender titlen, skriv det endelig til os!! Der var en rigtig karaoke stemning og publikum fra 2 år og op til 70 år. Alle trodsede regnen og nyd den 1 ½ time lange koncert. Under den sidste sang blev der drillet godt oppe på scenen og pludselig kaster Markus, trommeslageren en trommestik efter Waqas. Han tager den op og giver den til mig. Så jeg fik et souvenir med hjem med autograf påJ Tak!
Efter koncerten gik vi lige bagom scenen og kom ind backstage. Vi fik en del billeder og vi snakket lidt igen. I er altid så imødekommende, tak!!

Eventzia 8/8 2010 Nemoland at Christiania
Should it absolutely be today, where it just rained and rained? We had just come home from Norway and should see Outlandish in the evening at Christiania! The umbrella was a good companionship when we stood in front of Nemoland and saw there already was a lot of people. We stood a while and made an appointment of where to meet again, as Tue is the one to take pictures. We were disrupted of … wasn’t it…? Yes, it was Waqas, himself. We had an enjoyable chat and Tue got a spot. Afterwards I talked a little more with Waqas and wanted to look around. Maybe there was a seat with some shelter. I found a dry place and stood searching. Then Lenny came out and Waqas a little while later. I had to shoe them to the stage and yes, I could as well go over there, too.
I got a nice location on 2nd row and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere among the crowd. This time nobody fell. As usual they were a 110% on and this time with something new. For example a Fugees song. See and listen it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1hu2T87zyM If you know the title, please write it to us. There were a proper karaoke atmosphere and an audience from age 2 to 70 years. All stood in the rain enjoying the 1½ hour long concert. Under the last song they made fool of each other and suddenly Markus, the drummer, throws a drumstick after Waqas. Han takes it and gives it to me. So I got a souvenir with me at home with an autograph. Thanks!
After the concert we went backstage. We got some pictures and talked to them you are so obliging, thanks!!

Eventzia 8/8 2010 Nemoland på Christiania
Det var en kold og regnvåd aften, hvor vi var 2 der skulle dække koncerten i den lille flække Café Nemoland som lå på Christiania. Der var en smule forvirring om hvornår de skulle starte, fordi en lokal i sidste øjeblik var blevet sat på.
Men Outlandish spillede regnen væk, man lagde ikke mærke til den. Der kom et par overraskelser, da Waqas og guitaristen Vicky Singh, gik i gang med et Fugees nummer. Det var fantastisk som de kunne spille os varme i det triste vejr. De var super professionelle, og der var intet at sætte på deres performance. Jeg stod i midten og havde udsigt til at få fede videoer med Outlandish drengene på klods hold. Det blev til 2 videoer og et hav af billeder, trods den silende regn.

Eventzia 8/8 2010 Nemoland at Christiania
It was a cold and wet evening, where we were 2 to cover the concert in a little place called café Nemoland that lay in Christiania. There was some confusion about when they should start, because some locals were put on in the last minute.
But Outlandish played the rain away, you didn’t notice it. There were a couple of surprises when Waqas and the guitarist Vicky Singh, began to play a Fugees song. It was fantastic how they could play us warm it the gloomy weather. They were super professional, nothing to complain about the performance. I stood in the middle and had a view to amazing videos with the Outlandish boys at close range. I took 2 videos and a lot of photos, despite the rain

Eventzia 4/9 2010 Køge Festuge!
Det var første gang at jeg var i tvivl om jeg skulle tage af sted for at se Outlandish, men jeg valgte heldigvis at gøre det. Vejret var virkelig flot og der var mange mennesker på pladsen. Jeg følte mig ikke frisk, så vi begav os backstage for at se om Waqas var kommet. Det var han heldigvis og imødekommende som altid, så Tue gik helt foran scenen og jeg holdt mig i VIP området, som var i siden af scenen.
De var meget energiske trods de lige var kommet fra Tyskland samme dag. Stemningen var bare i top, bortset var nogle der ikke kunne forstå ordet fest, det betød vist ballade for dem. Men Waqas klarede situationen flot, så det tog et øjeblik og Isam fik lov til at fortsætte med Walou. Se videoen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGZpuv44Cyo Der var også tid til at få en frivillig på scenen. Hun skulle synge Engel af Rasmus Seebach. Ifølge Waqas var det modigt gjort at komme på scenen foran så mange mennesker. Tiden gik så hurtigt i Outlandish selskab, så pludseligt var det overstået, men inden nåede Waqas lige at give Markus trommestikkere væk til 2 heldige publikummer, det blev gjort meget varsomt, så ingen kom til skade.
Vi lovede lige at sige farvel til drengene, så Tue måtte virkelig mase sig frem den store mængde af fans som allerede havde stillet sig bag hegnet. Det lykkedes ham at komme ind igen med hjælp fra Lawand. Vi fik taget lidt billeder. Waqas fik de sidste ord: ”Vi ses over mailen!” Der er aldrig tid nok, men hyggeligt at det at møde Isam, Lenny, Waqas og bandet.

Eventzia 4/9 2010 Køge Festuge!
It was the first time I was in doubt of go to see Outlandish, but luckily I chose to do it. The weather was fine and there were many people at the square. I did not feel well, so we went backstage to see if Waqas had come. Luckily he was and came obliging as always, so Tue went in front of the scene and I kept to the VIP area in the side of the stage.
They were very energetic in spite of them coming directly from Germany the same day. The atmosphere was great, though some didn’t know the meaning of the phrase party, for them it meant bullying. But Waqas took the situationen calmly, so it took at second and Isam could continue with Walou. Watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGZpuv44Cyo there were time to get at volunteer on the stage. She was to sing Angel by a Danish artist by the name Rasmus Seebach. According to Waqas it was bravely done to enter the scene in front of so many people. The time went quickly in company of Outlandish, so suddenly it was over, but before that, Waqas had time to give away drumsticks belonging to Markus, to 2 lucky from the audience. It was done safely so no one got hurt.
We promised to say goodbye to the boys, so Tue was forced to push through the crowd of fans which already had found a spot in front of the fence. He succeeded to come through with a little help form my friend Lawand. We took some pictures. Waqas got the last words: “See you over the mail!” There are never time enough, but nice to meet Isam, Lenny, Waqas and the band.

Eventzia 4/9 2010 Køge Festuge!
Vi var kommet lidt tidligt, og gik rundt om bagindgangen som katten om den varme grød. Men til sidst fik vi fat i en vagt der lovede at gå ind og sige at vi var kommet. Ud kom Jonas og introducerede os til sikkerhedsvagterne som venner af bandet. Vi fik lov til at gå rundt bagi, og hilse på dem der var der. Efter lidt tid havde vi fået snakket med Isam, der var træt af fasten og køreturen fra Tyskland, og lige efter skulle jeg ud for at finde en god plads.
Der var mange forsamlet, forventningerne var store, og da de blev introduceret var det med rosende ord fra sidste optræden. Og sikken energi der var på forsamlingen, Waqas fik dem helt med, selvom der var nogle idioter som skulle ødelægge feststemningen, men se videoen hvor han får dæmpet gemytterne, frisk gjort. Men sikken glæde det var at se så mange forskellige samlet uden at der skete det helt store, ikke mere end hvad en god snak kunne afværge.

Eventzia 4/9 2010 Køge Festuge!
We were a little early, and walked in front of the backstage a little nervous. But at last we caught a guard who promised to say we had come. Out came Jonas and introduced us to the security guards as friends of the band. We were allowed to go around in the VIP area, and talk to those who were there. After a little while we talked to Isam, who were tired from Ramadan and the voyage from Germany, and shortly after I had to get out finding a good spot.
Alot of people were gathered, the expectation was great, and when they were introduced it were followed by very promising words from their last performance. And what energy the crowd gathered, Waqas got them to dance and sing, although a bunch of idiots tried to destroy the party feeling. But see the video where Waqas calm them down, freshly done. But what a joy to see so many different people, enjoying each others company.

Eventzia 27/9 2010 The Voice10 i Tivoli!
Jeg var skuffet over at Outlandish ikke selv kom, men spillede sammen med Kato. Jeg havde ellers set frem til at få mulighed for flere billeder. Men alt var kaos, og hoppende tilskuere, så jeg måtte vride og vende mig for at få bare et glimt af drengene. Jeg forstod ikke helt hvad det indebar at de stod på plakaten, når de ikke rigtigt var der. 2 numre, som Kato og venner, jeg havde forventet mere.
Det er vist både første og sidste gang jeg kommer et sted hvor man får mindre end det man kommer for. Jeg havde set frem til mere med Outlandish drengene, men måtte gå næsten tomhændet derfra for billederne blev rædselsfulde. Det var ikke den dag jeg skulle have været af sted…

Eventzia 27/9 2010 The Voice10 in Tivoli!
I was disappointed because Outlandish would not be playing as themselves, but with a DJ called Kato. I was looking forward to get the opportunity to get some photos. But all was chaos and jumping audience, so I had to turn and bow just to get a glimpse of the boys. I did not understand what it meant that they were on the poster, when they not really there. 2 songs, as Kato and friends, I had expected more.
It seems like the last time I come to a place where you get less than what you came for. I was looking forward to more with the Outlandish boys, but had to walk home with nearly nothing, as the pictures I took were awful. Not the day I should have come…

Eventzia 7/10 2010 Koncert i GUC
Sikke en overraskelse, vi var inviteret til koncert på GUC/Greve Ungdomscenter. Den var vi med på og tog straks af sted. Det var ikke helt nemt at finde, men gik efter musikken. Vi så Turkman Souljah ved parkeringspladsen og vi fulgtes ad indenfor. Der var ikke så mange, nogen sad og omkring 20 stykker stod helt henne ved scenen. Et band var på og spillede emo/punk og det lød rigtigt godt. 10 minutter inden Outlandish skulle på, fik vi lige lov til at komme ind og hilse på. De var som altid imødekommende og Isam var rigtig snaksalig. Der var en ny guitarist, Italieneren, omtalte de ham. Som altid går tiden hurtigt, når man er i godt selskab, så vi aftalte lige at mødes bagefter og jeg fik lov til at efterlade min frakke og taske derinde.
Tue skyndte sig ud og fik en rimelig god plads foran. Jeg fik hen i siden og stod godt med en iskold flaske vand. Det var en anderledes sætliste de spillede efter i aften. Peelo og El Moro var nye for mig. Dem havde jeg ikke hørt før live. Waqas og Isam var meget flinke med at uddele håndtryk til stor begejstring for pigerne, så der blev lige skreget ekstra højt. Det var en rigtig god koncert, men meget støjende pga. skrigene. Fortrød lidt at jeg lod ørepropperne bliver derhjemme! Der blev lovet autografer bagefter, så alle skyndte sig hen til siden
Vi fik heldigvis lige lov til at komme ind og sige farvel inden. Der var så varmt, så jeg har aldrig holdt så meget af Isam, som jeg gjorde den aften! Han sagde at jeg endelig måtte tage noget at drikke, så iskold vand er det bedste. Vi fik lige snakket lige om Isams klummer, som vi var ved at oversætte, som han var meget glad for. Det ville han lige checke vores website. Der blev snakket om lidt at hvert, taget billeder og fik kram, inden de blev lukket ind i et lokale, hvor pigerne kom ind i hold. Vi var glade for at være med igen og møde Isam, Lenny og Waqas, men det var en lettelse at stå udenfor og nyde den kolde aftenvind. 1000 tak for oplevelsen!

Eventzia 7/10 2010 Concert at GUC
What a surprise, we were invited to a concert in Greve/Greve Youth Centre. We could not say no and took off. It was not very easy to find, but we used the music as a lead. We saw Turkman Souljah at the parking place and we followed him inside. There were not many, some was sitting and about twenty people stood close to the stage. A band was playing emo/punk and it sounded very good. 10 minutes before Outlandish should perform, we were allowed to come in and say hello. They were as always obliging and isam wanted to talk. They had a new guitarist, the Italian, they called him. As usual, the time flies, when you are in a good company, so we agreed to meet afterwards and I was allowed to leave my coat and bag inside
Tue hurried out and got a good spot in front of the scene. I went to the side and stood with an ice-cold bottle of water. It was a different set-list they played this evening. Peelo an El Moro was new to me. I hadn’t heard them before live. Waqas and Isam were nice to give a handshake to great joy for the girls, so they screamed very loud. It was a good concert, though very noisy because of the screams. Regretted that I didn’t take earplugs with me, they were at home! They promised autograph writing afterwards, so everybody hurried to the side.
Luckily the guards let us come backstage to say goodbye. There was hot, and I haven’t been as fond of Isam, as I was that evening! He said that I could take something to drink, and ice-cold water was the best. We were talking about Isams columns, which we were in the process of translating, and he was delighted to hear about it. He would check on our website. We talked about a great many things, and got a hug, before they were placed in a room to sign autographs, and the girls came in small groups. We were glad to come again and meet Isam, Lenny and Waqas, but it was a relief to stand outside and enjoy the cold evening wind. A thousand thanks for the experience!

Eventzia 7/10 2010 koncert i GUC
Det var et anderledes publikum jeg var ude hos, denne torsdag aften i Greve. Unge piger der ikke kunne være nærgående nok. Det var en fryd og se dem være så glade for den opmærksomhed drengene fra Outlandish gav dem, og de nød det kunne jeg se. De sang med, og gjorde alt for at vise deres begejstring for bandet. Der var ikke mange, men en intim stemning fornemmede man. De var på som stjerner og brændte igennem, glødede i de små pigehjerter længe efter at de var gået fra scenen. Der blev råbt på ekstranumre.

It was a different audience I faced this Thursday evening in Greve. Young girls who could not come close enough. It was a joy to see them so happy for the response the boys form Outlandish showed them, they liked it as I could see. They sang along, and did everything to show the enthusiasm for the band. There were not a lot, but an intimate atmosphere I sensed. They were stars and burned through, glowed in the little hearts of the girls long after they had left the stage. They yelled for extra munbers.

Eventzia 1/4 2011 mini koncert i RC.
Vi havde fået et insidertip om at Outlandish ville spille i Rødovre Centrum. På min feriedag tog vi af sted, for at finde frem til stedet. Det var mange år siden vi havde været i Rødovre Centrum og det var vokset, der var kommet flere butikker. Vi besluttede os for at spise på en café der bragte nostalgiske minder frem. Efter bespisning gik vi til pladsen hvor de skulle spille.
Det var meningen at Outlandish skulle på klokken 16.00, så jeg blev placeret hvor det var bedst at tage billeder mens LS og Lukas indfandt sig på en skjult post for at tage paparazzibilleder når de 3 dukkede op.
Men uheldet var ude denne dag, for kun Waqas var nået frem, de 2 andre var involveret i et trafikuheld ude på motorvejen, fik vi at vide og ville måske nå frem til 16.15. Men de kom ikke. Så udskød man koncerten til 17.30, i håb om at de ville være nået frem. Og jeg satte mig til at skrive på en af mine manuskripter, for at få tiden til at gå.
Og endelig, præcis klokken 17.30 gik de på men uden orkester. Det blev til omkring 6 numre, inklusiv klassikere en fødselsdagsang for Rødovre Centrets 45 års fødselsdag og et nyt nummer ”Triumf”. Drengene smilede og fortalte anekdoter, og kom helt tæt på pigerne der stod ved scenekanten. Man så at de nød opmærksomheden fra Outlandish, som både gav kram og håndtryk.
De spillede i omkring en ½ time, til et næsten stoppet torv. Lysten til at optræde fejlede ikke noget, selvom trætheden ovenpå turen, tydeligt kunne spores hos de 2 sidst ankomne. De skulle også spillede senere i Viften, lige på den anden side af gaden. Så det virkede som god opvarmning, og hvem siger nej til at møde sine fans så tæt på, som denne scene?

Eventzia 1/4 2011 mini concert at RC.
We had a insider tip to Outlandish would play in the Rødovre Centre. On my holiday, we took place, in order to find the spot. It was many years ago we had been in Rødovre Centre and it was grown, there had been several shops. We decided to eat at a café that brought nostalgic memories. After lunch, we went to the square where they should play.
It was supposed to Outlandish should at 4 p.m., so I was placed where it was best to take pictures while LS and Lukas appeared on a hidden entry in order to take 3 paparazzi pictures when they appeared.
But the accident was out that day, for only Waqas was reached, the 2 other was involved in a traffic accident on the motorway, we were told and might reach 16.15. But they did not. So we postponed the concert to 17: 30, in the hope that they would be reached. And I put myself to write on one of my manuscripts, in order to get the time to go.
And finally, exactly at 17.30 went on but without the Orchestra. It was around 6 numbers, including the Classics and a birthday song for the Rødovre Centre's 45-years birthday, and a new track "Triumph". The boys smiled and told anecdotes, and came very close to the girls who were at the scene the edge. We saw that they enjoyed the attention from the Outlandish, which both gave hug and handshake.
They played in about half and hour, to an almost stopped square. The incentive to act in a failed no, although fatigue on top of the trip, clearly could be traced from the 2 finally arrived. They should also played later in the range, just on the other side of the street. So it seemed like a good warming, and who says no to meet their fans so close, as this scene?

Eventzia 16/4 2011 koncert i Portalen.
Jeg var på en særlig mission, at fange OL i Portalen, på billeder og video. det var ikke til at sige, hvornår vi ville komme til at se dem igen.
Lene kunne ikke komme med, så jeg stod selv for indsamling af materiale til outlandls2.dk. Denne aften havde de taget Majid med, som selv havde inviteret et par fætre med til at rappe. Jeg brugte hans performance til at afprøve kameraet, og lysforholdene til når hovednavnet kom på.
Så blev det tid til de 3 Brøndby Strand drenge, som havde taget modet og glæden med sig. Jeg var så koncentreret om mit arbejde, at jeg under Any Given Time, ikke lagde mærke til, at Isam prøvede at komme i kontakt med mig. Men jeg vågnede midt i sangen, for pludselig havde de blandet Mad World ind i. En sang jeg selv som ung havde tudet til, når Tears for Fears fremførte den. Men Isam og OL gav den så godt, at jeg ikke kunne lade være med at skråle med.
Desværre gik det ud over videoen, så hvis du lukker ørerne, kan du sikkert høre Isam, men ignorer den flodhest der står bagved og brummer med, det var ikke en del af lydbilledet der skulle med. Jeg kunne ikke slette sporet efter mig. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SWrqp57QwM&feature=channel_video_title
Der var også 2 nye sange med, Better days og Triumf, men dem må I vente med at høre til pladen er på gaden. Vi skulle jo ikke gerne have en sag på halsen om rettigheder, når vi selv går så højt op i vores egne rettigheder.
Det blev en god aften, lige indtil jeg skulle hen og spørge om jeg måtte komme ind og hilse på. Jonas mumlede noget om af han lige ville konferere med Waqas. Men jeg fik aldrig noget svar, heller ikke da jeg tog fat i Vicky Singh, som jeg lige fik en god snak med. Jeg blev der så længe som jeg kunne, men selv den dag i dag har jeg ikke fået svar, om hvorfor jeg ikke måtte komme ind og hilse på, som vi ellers gjorde før i tiden.

Eventzia 16/4 2011 concert at Portalen.
Wwas on a special mission, to catch OL at Portalen, for some the pictures and videos. It was not to say, when we would come to see them again.
Lene could not come, so I stood even for the collection of material for the outlandls2.dk. This evening, they had taken Majid, who himself had invited a couple of cousins with to rap. I used his performance to test the camera and the lighting conditions for when the main name came on.
So it was time for the 3 Brøndby Strand boys, who had taken the courage and joy with them. I was so concentrated on my work, that I in Any Given Time, not noticed that Isam tried to come into contact with me. But I woke up in the middle of the song, suddenly had they mixed Mad World into. a song I as a young man had cried to, when Tears for Fears performed it. But Isam and the OL gave the so well that I could not help but yell with them.
Unfortunately, it went beyond the concept of the video, so if you close your ears, you can probably hear Isam, but ignore the hippo that stands behind and buzz with, it was not a part of the superb sound. I could not delete the track of my voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SWrqp57QwM&feature=channel_video_title
There were also 2 new songs with, Better days and the triumph, but you must wait to hear to the plate is on the street. We should not, of course, like to have a case on the neck of the rights, when we ourselves goes so high up in our own rights.
At was a good evening, until I went to ask if I might come in and say hello. Jonas murmured two words something about of he would confer with Waqas. But I never got an answer, not even today, I took hold of Vicky Singh, as I just got off to a good talk with. I was there as long as I could, but even to this day I have not received any reply, about why I was not allowed to say hello, as otherwise we did in the past.

Eventzia 6/5 2011 koncert Street Party
Solen var på den aften jeg begik mig ud på eventyr, at finde stedet de unge holdt Street party. Det var ikke svært, for det viste sig at jeg kendte stedet fra da vi engang boede i Vanløse. Det var et lille sted, men de festede og var glade i mængden, men drengene fra Outlandish endnu ikke var dukket op. Jeg stod og så på den øvrige underholdning, som var rappere fra blandt andet Sverige.
En af de optrædende havde en lille dansetrup med, og udtrykte stolthed over at være på samme scene som Outlandish snart skulle være, og i mellemtiden var Isam dukket op. Jeg skyndte mig hen for at hilse på, men han var allerede i gang med at tale med børnene og de unge. Han var meget dygtig til at lade sig imponere over de små pus, og deres indfald. Jeg lod ham være indtil der var nogenlunde fri bane, og gav ham hånden. Han lyste op i et smil, og spurgte om hvordan det gik. Jeg forklarede at for mig det det fint, men Lene havde det skidt. Han udtrykte beklagelse over hendes tilstand og ville gerne hjælpe. Det måtte dog vente til senere, for det var snart tid for deres performance.
Og de gav det lille sted en varm og venlig tur gennem de først år af Outlandishs liv, med nogle af de kendte hiphop sange, mens publikum var glade. Og selvfølgelig skulle de have Aicha, det kunne man ikke komme udenom.
Bagefter fik jeg set dem i gang med autografskrivning, og fik en lille hilsen med hjem til familien. Men det var ikke som i gamle dage, den tid er definitivt forbi, til stor sorg for os. Men Isam skrev lidt til Lene.

Eventzia 6/5 2011 concert Street Party
The Sun was on the evening I committed myself out on the adventure, to find the place young people held street party. It was not difficult, for it turned out that I knew rather than from when we once lived in Vanløse. It was a small place, but the festede and was happy in quantity, but the boys from Outlandish had not yet surfaced. I stood and looked at the rest of the entertainment, which was among other rappers from Sweden.
One of the performers had a small dance squad with, and expressed pride to be on the same stage as Outlandish soon would be, and in the meantime was Isam emerged. Forth I rushed to greet me on, but he was already talking with the children and young people. He was very skilled to allow them to be in awe of the small pus, and their incursions. I let him be until there was more or less plain line track, and gave him the manuscript. He called up in a smile, and asked how things went. I explained that to me it fine, but Lene had it bad. He expressed regret about her condition and would like to help. However, it had to wait until a later date, for it was soon time for their performance.
And they gave the small place a warm and friendly trip through the first year of Outlandishs life, with some of the known hip hop songs, while the audience was happy. And, of course, you should have Aicha, this could be no getting away from.
Afterwards I had seen them in time with autograph writing, and received a small greeting with home to their families. But it was not, as in the old days, the time is definitely over, to the great sorrow for us. But Isam wrote a little for Lene.

Eventzia 9/6 2011 Aftenshowet
Vi havde fået en melding om at Outlandish skulle på DR’s Aftenshowet, hvor de store navne kommer. Jeg var kommet lidt tidligt for at sondere terrænet. Der var meget sikkerhed på pladsen, så det var lidt svært at se om de var kommet. Men omkring 18.30 dukkede Isam op, og med det samme han så mig bredte sig et stort smil, og han hastede hen for at give mig hånden. Vi talte lidt sammen og han lovede mig at få et gruppebillede foran aftenshowets lokaler.
Efter en kort samtale gik han videre, og jeg sneg mig til at finde ud af hvor de holdt til. Det var nede ved havnen i Nyhavn, og skibe sejlede forbi. Det var let at være ubemærket, selvom alle 3 sammen med journalister og programværter stod mindre end en meter fra mig. Jeg lod som om jeg tog billeder af skibene, men der kom altså andre motiver på end havets folk.
Efter at de havde stået og talt gik de over til et sejlskib der lå for anker, hvor noget af udsendelsen skulle foregå, derefter gik de ind i de frastødende studier for at blive interviewet om hvad de bragte med når de var på tour. Men først gjorde Isam tegn til at de skulle posere foran mig, som lovet. Det blev nogle flotte billeder, for vejret var med mig den dag.

Eventzia 9/6 2011 Aftenshowet
We had received a message that Outlandish should on DR's evening show, where only the big names comes. I had come a little early to explore the terrain. There was much security on site, so it was hard to see if they had come. But around 6.30 in the evening Isam popped up, and in the instant he saw me a big smile spread over his lips, and he rushed over to shake hands. We talked a little together and he promised me to get a group picture in front of the evening show's premises.
After a short conversation, he went on and I snuck me to find out where they were placed. It was down at the harbor of Nyhavn, and ships sailed past. It was easy to be unnoticed, although all 3 together with journalists and presenters stood less than a meter from me. I pretended I took pictures of the ships, but there came other pictures than people of the sea.
After they had stood and talked, they turned to a sailing ship lying at anchor, where some of the broadcast was to take place, then they went into the studies to be interviewed about what they brought along when they were on tour. But first Isam gave a sign for them to pose in front of me, as promised. It was some great pictures, the weather was with me that day.
