“Welcome to the best band in Denmark, probably the best band in the world.”
David Fricke’s comment drew international attention spreading the interest in the band to countries outside of Denmark.
In January 2003, UNDER BYEN represented Denmark at the big music festival Eurosonic, in Groningen, Netherlands. The show was attended by the European music press as well as people from the international music business. Under Byen’s concert was by many considered the best show among the 120 bands performing. Furthermore, the entire concert was broadcasted live on BBC, by the legendary John Peel. The following months the album DET ER MIG DER HOLDER TRÆERNE SAMMEN was released in France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway , Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden and Japan.

On top of producing the albums KYST and DET ER MIG DER HOLDER TRÆERNE SAMMEN and touring in Europe, UNDER BYEN has worked on film scores, theater, remix of Ramstein etc.
UNDER BYEN has now finished their third full length album, with the rather cryptic title SAMME STOF SOM STOF ( SAME FABRIC AS FABRIC). It is released by Morningside Records / Playground music on March the 6th 2006. The first single will be the title song AF SAMME STOF SOM STOF (OF FABRIC FABRIC AS STUFF) which shows UNDER BYEN’s experimental, yet catchy side, featuring some corny tuba, tacky kalimba and pumping bass. Different, haunting and unmistakably UNDER BYEN.
