Name: The Blue Van The Blue Van is from the Danish name of the van that transports patients to mental institutions. The band recorded their debut A Session With The Blue Van in Copenhagen. The release was backed up by fantastic shows at the SPOT Festival and the Roskilde Festival. The debut album The Art Of Rolling was recorded in Hamburg in 2003. Recording all instruments simultaneously in the same room, left only the vocals to be dubbed, but was the best way to capture the live energy of the band on tape. The album showed a sweaty, hard working, jamming rock band, and was the culmination of years of hard work and persistence. The Art of Rolling landed the band a deal with TVT Records – at the time, the largest indie label in the US – and the band was now able to tour the world. The Blue Van created their sophomore album Dear Independence with Lenny Kravitz’s sound technician Henry Hirsh as producer. The album was recorded in the old fashion way: On tape, with no possibility of post-editing. The band went for a natural, organic sound. Their 3rd album Man Up, which by all means sounds like a more mature band, and the first single Silly Boy has already been well received – even being named Track of the Week by Danish National Radio (DR-P3) straight after the release.
