Good advice is expensive when you are a pop star and would act on the world'slargest music festival with a broken leg. But then came a Danish designer to the rescue.

Saturday afternoon she appeared at the Glastonbury Festival in England with ahuge drag to support his broken leg. The doctors had actually advised againstthe 23-year-old pop star to perform, but Jessie J defied the advice and just foundan outfit that almost got splints to look cool.

The Danish designer Sara Bro-Jørgensen, who was behind the creations that made the pop star to look like a combination of the Madonna in the good olddays and a check stormtrooper from Star Wars.

- It's really nice to see that similar things are used and come out to so manypeople, says Sara Bro-Jørgensen, who also delivered the stage costume for the singer Rihanna.
- I was graduate last summer, so I've actually only been running for two seasons. So it's really cool to see, says the 30-year-old Aarhus girl who now lives and works in London.
Sara Bro-Jørgensen has a BA from design school in Kolding, and an MA from the Royal College of Arts in London.

She did not know in advance that her design had to match a huge leg brace.
- I just got an email from her agent that Jessie J need some stage costume. Ihave not even talked to her stylist. So it was very reasonable out of the blue.They borrowed a lot of different clothes, so I was really happy to see what they used.

Jessie J limped onto the stage with crutches and did so his appearance sitting ina golden throne, so she could rest the foot. She broke it earlier this month when she fell from a plateau on the stage while she was busy practicing on a newstage show.


Danish punk band Iceage predicted to a great future



The Danish band Iceage is predicted to a great future from all the biggest U.S. music medias. Friday night they are for a short while back in Denmark to create a youthful concert at Roskilde before the turning again goes on the American highways.


"Who would have thought that there was a Danish band to breathe new life into punk?" The question comes from an enthusiastic reviewer at All Music - one of the most comprehensive sites for new and old music live - and summarizes the many ways the tailwind, as the very young Danish punk band Iceage currently experience in the American music press.


Since it is only 24 minutes long debut album 'New Brigade' was released to rave reviews at home earlier this year, is firkøveret been wheeled into position for an American breakthrough.


In last week released their debut album so on the American label "What's Your Rupture?" And has already been named to this year until now the fourth best album of the leading music site Stereogum front names such as PJ Harvey, Fleet Foxes and Adele.


On top of that, the song 'Broken Bone' got labeled 'Best New Music' by Pitchfork.com - the most powerful online site for alternative music in these years.A very impressive achievement by a group of uncompromising, Copenhagen teenagers who play violent, dissonant and chaotic punk music that manages far outside the traditional verse / chorus structures and are dark as hell.


Forget the Sex Pistol, who basically played pop songs wrapped in dirty blues chords and sensational hunger for Iceage owe far more to the uncompromising post-punk British names like Wire and No Wave bands like DNA.


Play 30 concerts



in the U.S. Following the release of 'New Brigade' must Iceage play over 30 concerts over the summer across the USA. The band's performance at the Roskilde Festival is a one-off before the boys again turns his nose against the United States to follow up on the buzz right now is growing around the band. Although a minor breakthrough is upon us, the young dreamer punklømler not, however, that the American adventure is to develop into a long and gloværdig career.


"I will not play when I get old. I do not know any bands with a career that we envy," the only 18-year-old vocalist Elias Bender Rønne Field recently to New York Times. So it's just about catching Iceage while still riding on the wave, when the night between Friday and Saturday. 03 plays up to the death dance and moshpit at Roskilde Odeon scene.
