Saturday evening<\/secret>, the metro stop at Islands Brygge was unusually packed with rambunctious and well-dressed students on their way to the musical event of the year at the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at South Campus.<\/p>\n

Students and music-enthusiasts in attendance donned everything from flare glitter pants and iridescent tops to sparkly eyeshadow and faux fur jackets to see who would take home the trophy at the MiGP 2019 song contest.<\/p>\n

The acts<\/h3>\n

This year’s MiGP featured eight bands, formed by students of Musicology at The University of Copenhagen, who competed to have their song picked as the audience favourite for the year.<\/p>\n

\n

The judges of the evening:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Clara Amalie Singerholm Christiansen, Assistant lecturer, Department of Arts and Cultural Studies<\/p>\n

\u2022 Henrik Raabo, Teaching associate professor, Department of Arts and Cultural Studies<\/p>\n

\u2022 S\u00f8ren M\u00f8ller S\u00f8rensen Associate professor, Department of Arts and Cultural Studies<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here is a quick run-through of the bands, their songs and some notes on their performances:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Kr\u00e6nkelsesministeriet<\/strong> (trans. The Violation Ministry) \u2013 \u201cKr\u00e6nket\u201d (trans. Violated): this band that took the opening slot of the night featured six front-women and gave us a \u00bbfantastisk\u00ab show, according to Judge Henrik Raabo. Judge Raabo then went on to say \u00bbfantastisk\u00ab three or four more times \u2026 and then promised he would stop saying \u00bbfantastisk\u00ab so much.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Birkebanden<\/strong> (trans. The Burch Gang)\u2013 \u201cK for \u00c6vle\u201d (trans. K For Nonsense): Birkebanden had awesome energy from the start, with their talented lead man setting the pace. The cheers they held mid-song was a surprise and a thrill for the audience, who enthusiastically thrust their drinks into the air with the band!<\/p>\n

\u2022 Kultur-Tyranniet<\/strong> (trans. The Culture Tyranny)\u2013 \u201cKulturchok med Mette Bock\u201d (trans. Cultureshock With Mette Bock): this ballad directed at the controversial Minister of Culture was a total change of pace. The performers all clad in glasses and black turtlenecks hardly broke a grin while they played at being broody academic artist types. And to great effect. Judge Clara Christiansen praised them, saying, \u00bbleave them wanting more, smart trick!\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u2022 Udvekslingens Ofre<\/strong> (trans. Victims of the Exchange)\u2013 \u201cEfterladt\u201d (trans. Abandoned) \u2013 3rd place<\/strong>: \u00bbWhat\u2019s up KUA!\u00ab shouted this band\u2019s sultry lead singer, who\u2019s big red curly locks couldn\u2019t distract from her awesome voice and the \u2026 wait for it \u2026 KINDER MILK SLICES that were cast into the crowd mid-song! The glitter tear drops painted on the musician\u2019s faces evoked the tenderness of this tune, which was really the only \u2018feeler\u2019 of the night.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Danski Laundry<\/strong> (trans. Danski Laundry)\u2013 \u201dGiv os dine penge\u201d (trans. Give Us Your Money)\u2013 2nd place<\/strong>: this band won my vote for the night! Taking on scandal plagued financial behemoth Danske Bank they needed the right sound, and they found it with heavy metal. The pounding drums set the perfect pulse to their sinister chorus, which chanted the bank\u2019s slogan \u00bbDo what you are best at, that\u2019s what we do.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u2022 Walt Disneys V\u00e5de Dr\u00f8m<\/strong> (trans. Walt Disney\u2019s Wet Dream) \u2013 \u201dEn Farlig Fort\u00e6lling\u201d (trans. A Dangerous Tale): Walt Disney\u2019s Wet Dream. Need I say more? This band\u2019s flamboyant costumes contrasted their naughty tune, and they took things up a notch when they modulated for their final chorus to the raucous approval of the crowd. But the highlight? A badass saxophone solo from a blondie on stage.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hen, Hen & Hen<\/strong> (trans. They, They & They)\u2013 \u201cEt K\u00f8d, Et k\u00f8n\u201d (trans. One Body, One Sex): the Swedish flags attached to the microphone stands quickly indicated this band\u2019s solidarity with the Swedes who invented the non-gender specific Scandinavian pronoun \u201chen\u201d. The band member\u2019s shirts which showed a half-woman-half-man figure represented their commitment to a gender-neutral world. An important cause to take to the MiGP stage!<\/p>\n

\u2022 F Y R E W O R K Z<\/strong> (trans. Fireworks)\u2013 \u201cNew Year, New Me\u201d \u2013 1st place<\/strong>: and last but not least, the evening’s victors! The four front-women facing away from the crowd to begin, with a sassy hand on the hip, gave us the first clue that this was gonna be a fun number. Their ballad struck a relevant chord with the millenial crowd, balancing conscious self-improvement with irreverent self-acceptance. They belted, \u00bbeat your hommus\u00ab as the solution to a slimmer waist-line, but then altered their chorus in the final line of the song, affirming, \u00bbNew Year, Same Me.\u00ab<\/p>\n

As the competition portion of the evening came to a close, and while the votes were pouring in online I bumped into a couple of the musicians grabbing a beer. Jonas and Martin of Birkebanden, when asked if they would compete again next year both exclaimed \u00bbdefinitely!\u00ab in chorus.<\/p>\n

They explained that their favourite part of the whole experience was the sound-checks, which made everything feel really professional, and actually got their nerves going. And when asked if this year felt different from last, Jonas replied a cheeky grin that it did because they could feel they were gonna win this time.
\n
\nI caught up with the hosts Ditte and Olivia during the voting period, too, and asked them a few questions about their role in MiGP this year. Neither woman had hosted before, but you wouldn\u2019t have known it from their presence on stage. Their energy and confidence was palpable from the moment they started their opening act\u2014a Danish best-hits pop number in which the two talented singers competed to humorous effect for the lead vocal in the song.<\/p>\n

Ditte explained that \u00bbexperiencing the event from the stage is completely different,\u00ab and that \u00bbit\u2019s very obvious that it\u2019s as much a party for the music students\u00ab as it is a full-on battle of the bands. Olivia praised the really \u00bbhigh level\u00ab of talent among the performers, and said her favourite part of the night was just hearing what all the bands came up with.<\/p>\n

After F Y R E W O R K Z performed their winning ballad one last time I had the chance to interview Jennifer, Vibe and L\u00e6rke\u2014three of the four front-women for the band.<\/p>\n

Jennifer explained that her favourite part of preparing for the night, as for Jonas and Martin, was the environment of professionalism that was created around the event, and that \u00bbthe sound checks were really interesting and everything felt very safe.\u00ab<\/p>\n

She also emphasized the novelty of songwriting for her, and how she developed a sense of ownership over their song, having been involved in the creative process of writing it. Meanwhile L\u00e6rke, participating for the fifth year in a row, said this year felt different \u00bbbecause it was the first time we actually felt like we had a chance to win. So it was extra fun, and I definitely felt more nervous than previous years.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Pro setup<\/h3>\n

Though the bands form in early January, the whole team of volunteers that put the evening together start work as early as September. \u00bbThey\u2019re really amazing!\u00ab said Jennifer, \u00bband it\u2019s a great way for them to gain experience working with events, especially if they want to work in the music industry after their studies.\u00ab<\/p>\n

They\u2019re operating in a totally professional setting and learning how it feels to be in front of a big crowd. That\u2019s pretty cool!<\/p>\n

Trine, show organizer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Finally, one of the organizers of the evening, Trine, gushed that MiGP truly is \u00bba magical evening\u00ab when \u00bbeveryone comes together with music and laughter and beer.\u00ab She also emphasized the professional calibre of set-up and sound-engineering, which she believes to be an amazing learning opportunity for the musicians who participate.<\/p>\n

\u00bbThey\u2019re operating in a totally professional setting and learning how it feels to be in front of a big crowd. That\u2019s pretty cool!\u00ab<\/p>\n

And my final conclusions from the evening? First, there are a lot of amazingly talented musicians studying at The University of Copenhagen. Second, MiGP is an awesome event, made only more special by the fact that this was its 26th year running! Third, creating opportunities for students to engage directly with their studies in real-world scenarios is really important to their personal and professional development. So, see you all again next year!

Islands Brygge was unusually packed with rambunctious and well-dressed students on their way to the musical event of the year at the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at South Campus.<\/p>\n<p>Students and music-enthusiasts in attendance donned everything from flare glitter pants and iridescent tops to sparkly eyeshadow and faux fur jackets to see who would take home the trophy at the MiGP 2019 song contest.<\/p>\n<h3>The acts<\/h3>\n<p>This year’s MiGP featured eight bands, formed by students of Musicology at The University of Copenhagen, who competed to have their song picked as the audience favourite for the year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">The judges of the evening:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Clara Amalie Singerholm Christiansen, Assistant lecturer, Department of Arts and Cultural Studies<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Henrik Raabo, Teaching associate professor, Department of Arts and Cultural Studies<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 S\u00f8ren M\u00f8ller S\u00f8rensen Associate professor, Department of Arts and Cultural Studies<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here is a quick run-through of the bands, their songs and some notes on their performances:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Kr\u00e6nkelsesministeriet<\/strong> (trans. The Violation Ministry) \u2013 \u201cKr\u00e6nket\u201d (trans. Violated): this band that took the opening slot of the night featured six front-women and gave us a \u00bbfantastisk\u00ab show, according to Judge Henrik Raabo. Judge Raabo then went on to say \u00bbfantastisk\u00ab three or four more times \u2026 and then promised he would stop saying \u00bbfantastisk\u00ab so much.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Birkebanden<\/strong> (trans. The Burch Gang)\u2013 \u201cK for \u00c6vle\u201d (trans. K For Nonsense): Birkebanden had awesome energy from the start, with their talented lead man setting the pace. The cheers they held mid-song was a surprise and a thrill for the audience, who enthusiastically thrust their drinks into the air with the band!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Kultur-Tyranniet<\/strong> (trans. The Culture Tyranny)\u2013 \u201cKulturchok med Mette Bock\u201d (trans. Cultureshock With Mette Bock): this ballad directed at the controversial Minister of Culture was a total change of pace. The performers all clad in glasses and black turtlenecks hardly broke a grin while they played at being broody academic artist types. And to great effect. Judge Clara Christiansen praised them, saying, \u00bbleave them wanting more, smart trick!\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Udvekslingens Ofre<\/strong> (trans. Victims of the Exchange)\u2013 \u201cEfterladt\u201d (trans. Abandoned) \u2013 <strong>3rd place<\/strong>: \u00bbWhat\u2019s up KUA!\u00ab shouted this band\u2019s sultry lead singer, who\u2019s big red curly locks couldn\u2019t distract from her awesome voice and the \u2026 wait for it \u2026 KINDER MILK SLICES that were cast into the crowd mid-song! The glitter tear drops painted on the musician\u2019s faces evoked the tenderness of this tune, which was really the only \u2018feeler\u2019 of the night.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Danski Laundry<\/strong> (trans. Danski Laundry)\u2013 \u201dGiv os dine penge\u201d (trans. Give Us Your Money)\u2013 <strong>2nd place<\/strong>: this band won my vote for the night! Taking on scandal plagued financial behemoth Danske Bank they needed the right sound, and they found it with heavy metal. The pounding drums set the perfect pulse to their sinister chorus, which chanted the bank\u2019s slogan \u00bbDo what you are best at, that\u2019s what we do.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Walt Disneys V\u00e5de Dr\u00f8m<\/strong> (trans. Walt Disney\u2019s Wet Dream) \u2013 \u201dEn Farlig Fort\u00e6lling\u201d (trans. A Dangerous Tale): Walt Disney\u2019s Wet Dream. Need I say more? This band\u2019s flamboyant costumes contrasted their naughty tune, and they took things up a notch when they modulated for their final chorus to the raucous approval of the crowd. But the highlight? A badass saxophone solo from a blondie on stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Hen, Hen & Hen<\/strong> (trans. They, They & They)\u2013 \u201cEt K\u00f8d, Et k\u00f8n\u201d (trans. One Body, One Sex): the Swedish flags attached to the microphone stands quickly indicated this band\u2019s solidarity with the Swedes who invented the non-gender specific Scandinavian pronoun \u201chen\u201d. The band member\u2019s shirts which showed a half-woman-half-man figure represented their commitment to a gender-neutral world. An important cause to take to the MiGP stage!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>F Y R E W O R K Z<\/strong> (trans. Fireworks)\u2013 \u201cNew Year, New Me\u201d \u2013 <strong>1st place<\/strong>: and last but not least, the evening’s victors! The four front-women facing away from the crowd to begin, with a sassy hand on the hip, gave us the first clue that this was gonna be a fun number. Their ballad struck a relevant chord with the millenial crowd, balancing conscious self-improvement with irreverent self-acceptance. They belted, \u00bbeat your hommus\u00ab as the solution to a slimmer waist-line, but then altered their chorus in the final line of the song, affirming, \u00bbNew Year, Same Me.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>As the competition portion of the evening came to a close, and while the votes were pouring in online I bumped into a couple of the musicians grabbing a beer. Jonas and Martin of Birkebanden, when asked if they would compete again next year both exclaimed \u00bbdefinitely!\u00ab in chorus.<\/p>\n<p>They explained that their favourite part of the whole experience was the sound-checks, which made everything feel really professional, and actually got their nerves going. And when asked if this year felt different from last, Jonas replied a cheeky grin that it did because they could feel they were gonna win this time.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"MultiImage","images":[{"image":{"ID":82722,"id":82722,"title":"AGERTOFT_MG_1858","filename":"agertoftmg1858.jpg","filesize":247329,"url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/agertoftmg1858.jpg","link":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/and-the-winner-is-new-year-new-me\/agertoft_mg_1858\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"agertoft_mg_1858","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":82704,"date":"2019-03-05

Neither woman had hosted before, but you wouldn\u2019t have known it from their presence on stage. Their energy and confidence was palpable from the moment they started their opening act\u2014a Danish best-hits pop number in which the two talented singers competed to humorous effect for the lead vocal in the song.<\/p>\n<p>Ditte explained that \u00bbexperiencing the event from the stage is completely different,\u00ab and that \u00bbit\u2019s very obvious that it\u2019s as much a party for the music students\u00ab as it is a full-on battle of the bands. Olivia praised the really \u00bbhigh level\u00ab of talent among the performers, and said her favourite part of the night was just hearing what all the bands came up with.<\/p>\n<p>After F Y R E W O R K Z performed their winning ballad one last time I had the chance to interview Jennifer, Vibe and L\u00e6rke\u2014three of the four front-women for the band.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer explained that her favourite part of preparing for the night, as for Jonas and Martin, was the environment of professionalism that was created around the event, and that \u00bbthe sound checks were really interesting and everything felt very safe.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>She also emphasized the novelty of songwriting for her, and how she developed a sense of ownership over their song, having been involved in the creative process of writing it. Meanwhile L\u00e6rke, participating for the fifth year in a row, said this year felt different \u00bbbecause it was the first time we actually felt like we had a chance to win. So it was extra fun, and I definitely felt more nervous than previous years.\u00ab<\/p>\n<h3>Pro setup<\/h3>\n<p>Though the bands form in early January, the whole team of volunteers that put the evening together start work as early as September. \u00bbThey\u2019re really amazing!\u00ab said Jennifer, \u00bband it\u2019s a great way for them to gain experience working with events, especially if they want to work in the music industry after their studies.\u00ab<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>They\u2019re operating in a totally professional setting and learning how it feels to be in front of a big crowd. That\u2019s pretty cool!<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Trine, show organizer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Finally, one of the organizers of the evening, Trine, gushed that MiGP truly is \u00bba magical evening\u00ab when \u00bbeveryone comes together with music and laughter and beer.\u00ab She also emphasized the professional calibre of set-up and sound-engineering, which she believes to be an amazing learning opportunity for the musicians who participate.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThey\u2019re operating in a totally professional setting and learning how it feels to be in front of a big crowd. That\u2019s pretty cool!\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>And my final conclusions from the evening? First, there are a lot of amazingly talented musicians studying at The University of Copenhagen. Second, MiGP is an awesome event, made only more special by the fact that this was its 26th year running! Third, creating opportunities for students to engage directly with their studies in real-world scenarios is really important to their personal and professional development. So, see you all again next year!<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Newsletter","lang_select":"Dansk","identifier":"Nyhedsbrev","headline":"Modtag et ugentligt nyhedsoverblik i din inbox","button_text":"Tilmeld nu","class":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}],"expression":{"term_id":18,"name":"Feature Article","slug":"feature_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":1200,"filter":"raw"},"enable_comments":true,"align_content":"alignleft","feature_color":""},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":43,"name":"Culture","slug":"culture","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":43,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":562,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":18,"name":"Feature Article","slug":"feature_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":1200,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/536336403336377739468764316712182843703296n-1280x853.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82704"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82783,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82704\/revisions\/82783"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
