Danish popsters Alphabeat scored one of the biggest hits of the year in 2008 with their single “Fascination”, which reached number six in the UK charts and received much radio play. The band consists of six members: Anders SG (vocals), Stine Bramsen (vocals), Anders B (guitar), Rasmus Nagel (keyboard), Anders Reinholdt (bass) and Troels Hansen (drums) and play 80s influenced pop with similarities to David Bowie and Wham! Despite many quarters of the musical press deriding the band’s music as childish and corny, their debut album “This is Alphabeat” reached number ten in the UK, after its release in June 2008. The band played at Glastonbury, Roskilde (Denmark) and Summerfestival (Faroe Islands) in 2008 and are due to go on a UK tour in the Autumn.
