København er ofte et samtaleemne på grund<br />

af sine maleriske kanaler, sin historiske<br />

arkitektur... fordi det er hjemstedet for<br />

de eventyr, der jager vores drømme, og<br />

fordi det er den første by i verden, der har<br />

legaliseret homoseksuelle ægteskaber. Men<br />

nedenunder ligger en grum og pulserende<br />

undergrundsscene med høj musik og endnu<br />

stærkere følelser, som Nikolaj Jacobsen<br />

dygtigt har fanget som polaroid-lignende<br />

øjeblikke, der er indgroet i vores hukommelse.<br />

Kom tættere på. Her er en verden, hvor<br />

følelserne går højt, musikken er højlydt, og<br />

drinksene flyder frit. Det er den verden, der er<br />

indfanget i “Let’s Rock”, som tager dig med<br />

på en rejse gennem de mindre omtalte, men<br />

mere interessante hjørner af den danske<br />

hovedstad.<br />

Fra den rå energi fra undergrunds punk- og<br />

<strong>rock</strong>shows til det fulde kammeratskab og de<br />

stille øjeblikke på dine yndlingsvandhuller, er<br />

“Let’s Rock” en hyldest til oprørets ånd og<br />

nattens spænding.<br />

Skal vi?<br />

Copenhagen is often a topic of conversation<br />

for its picturesque canals, historic<br />

architecture... for being the homeplace of<br />

the fairy tales that hunt our dreams, and the<br />

first city in the world which legalized gay<br />

marriage. But underneath it lies a gritty and<br />

vibrant underground scene, of loud music<br />

and even louder emotions, all of which Nikolaj<br />

Jacobsen has skilfully captured as polaroidlike<br />

moments ingrained in our memory.<br />

Come closer. Here’s a world where emotions<br />

run high, the music is loud and drinks flow<br />

freely. This is the world captured in “Let’s<br />

Rock”, which takes you along on a journey<br />

through the less spoken of, yet more<br />

interesting corners of the Danish capital.<br />

From the raw energy of underground<br />

punk and <strong>rock</strong> shows to the boozy<br />

camaraderie and moments of stillness in<br />

your favorite watering holes, “Let’s Rock”<br />

is a celebration of the spirit of rebellion...<br />

and the thrill of the night.<br />

Shall we?<br />

Madam Neverstop.<br />
