The Eclectic Moniker is a love fest from a heart, that also knows how heavy Monday morning can feel - the white man's tribute to Calypso. The Eclectic Moniker is a musical collective consisting of 7 musicians with Frederik Vedersoe in front. The music consists of dreamy melancholy and curious melodies that floats to the marimba tones and guitar ornaments. The songs are, despite their exotic feel, characterized by a pop sound, that creates a joy of recognition. The music is a melting pot of different genres - indie rock, Afro-beat, calypso and alternative pop. The eclectic mix is unique. The sound is never heard before, but induces associations with well-known acts such as Paul Simon, Vampire Weekend, Beirut and Dirty Projectors. The Danish national radio (DR) has shown great interest in the band and they are not the only one. During 2011 The Eclectic Moniker has performed at Spot Festival and Roskilde Festival, and received a lot of praises for their live performances. In may 2011 the band was supporting act for Oh Land at her sold out concert in Vega (famous venue in Copenhagen). After the bands performance at Roskilde Festival, wrote the acclaimed music magazine Soundvenue: “The concert was extremely well played and the sound was impeccable. The floor swayed to the beat of the Afro-pop and indie-tropical tones, so it both sounded and felt like you were on a yacht in the Caribbean". The Eclectic Monikers sound creates images of drinks and palm trees on the beach, even when the lyrics is about acknowledgment and wanderlust. With The Eclectic Moniker you dance to stories about powerlessness, meanwhile hope and love are celebrated. Damn ... it's cool, it's fresh and it's a party. The Eclectic Moniker name has its own distinctive meaning, 'Eclectic' means composed of a larger whole. 'Moniker' means nickname. So there you have it – a unique name for a unique band. The Eclectic Moniker have already played gigs outside Denmark and their popularity outside their home country is growing fast. The band is currently recording an album that is anticipated to be released spring 2012.
