Since 2004, The Blue Van has been touring across the world with their modern take on garage and blues rock. In between touring - having played more than 200 shows in the U.S. alone and close to 2000 in total - they have also released seven critically acclaimed albums.
Growing up in rural Broenderslev, Denmark, Steffen Westmark (vocals/guitars), Søren V. Christensen (Hammond organ), Allan F. Villadsen, and Per M. Jorgenson (drums) were inspired by the classics - Cream, Kinks, Pretty Things, Them - and they used that hard R&B, primal rock influence to drive the revivalist sound of the Blue Van. The raucous full-length “The Art of Rolling” was issued stateside by TVT in April 2005, and the Blue Van hit the road that summer for a tour with Hot Hot Heat. The guys followed up with Dear Independence on Halloween 2006, supporting the record as openers on U.S. dates for the Electric Six. In 2008.
In the time after the albums release, The Blue Van's music began popping up around every corner, with their song "Independence" chosen as the theme song for the TV show Royal Pains, as wells as having songs appear on the shows Scrubs and 90210.
With their signature authentic and gritty sound, Denmark’s uncrowned rock princes tackle a modern affliction, they are now working on their upcoming eighth studio album, which will celebrate their 30th anniversary as a band – still playing together with the same original lineup as when they first took the stage at age 12 back in 1996.
