The Extreme Music European Theater has produced an endless team in recent decades, with different groups that are not easy to emerge from this field. However, this Danish Hexis did, as this year’s 15 -year -old black minerals band was famous for their music, which were almost constantly on the tour. In addition, they do not organize any rounds for themselves, although we are talking about the DIY (called Do youllf “, without professionalism), they literally concluded the world in their career for a decade and a half, in places they may not hear in geography. We met two members of the band before their tenth party in Budapest.
We talked about more basic people, Philip Andersen and Luka Millie, about what concerts are and how they toured more than a hundred days.
15 years ago on the road
A singer founded it in 2010 in a small town in Danish, Philip Andersen began playing music with some band friends. From the original line, it is only in the band, eight years ago, Luka Miley joined him as a guitarist, but Andersen is also responsible for designing theater and stage lights. Andersen Denmark and Mee live in Italy, and other members usually join them, and they started their birthday round with the French drama player and German guitarist, the latter toured several times.
Music is written by two, continues online, and sometimes Milli travels to Denmark for the time of registration, and their group usually exercises with the rest of the band within a few days of the tour. They tell their music that they are trying to inspire many parties: “When we started, it had a great impact on us Celeste “But there are now many other influences in our music,” Andersen says, “
By the way, Selest took the band in a five -day European tour after a period of its formation, and in Andersen, on this round he wanted to go to the top. “I love to do something 100 percent. It deserves the entire band, not worth a lot of travel and experiences.”
Do not stop from Ura to East Timor
Hexis decided 15 years ago to start a tour of an endless tour, a few or shorter European offers and a festival in 2014 In JapanIn 2016 In Australia They toured. 2017 Then he spent most of the first three months of the year in Asia, from Vietnam to Cambodia to Indonesia via the Philippines to Taiwan and South Korea. Starting in Israel in March, another two -month round was collected in Europe, and in August they crossed the United Kingdom and wandered two months in the United States as of September. At the end of the year, they returned to Europe for another two months.
This will be enough for another band for a complete profession, but for Hexis, this is only a year of the program. According to Andersen, only 195 concerts were presented in 2017, then in 2019 111 days tour Organized, returned first in 2023 To AsiaThen from the end of August to December, a tour was made practically without stopping world. Hexis tours are still organized by Andersen, but they also help by the band’s publisher and French party. Andersen says of the small logistical mission that their mission is to organize concerts and reconcile airline and travel tickets, such as French Polynesia or East Timor. “Local organizers run out buses, stay, and more, and get American musical instruments that we can use in the tour,” Andersen says.
Of course, they literally go to all angles of the world, sometimes lucky, and Andersen says that the organizer of the East Timur party was given only a phone number and the entire concert organized the entire concert in the end. “We had no idea what could be expected. They built a stage on the basketball field where 3000 people came. It was a crazy party.”

They can tell a lot about crazy stories, for example, when they quarreled with a concert in Mexico, began to prevent their paths directly from revenge. Andersen said they never give up concerts, with the exception of some cases. In Serbia, for example, Andersen broke out after falling during a concert from the roof of the room where he climbed himself. “I fainted for half an hour, then I finally collected myself, but everyone drank, so we were unable to go to the hospital. My skull has erupted, but we arrived at a Hungarian hospital the next day, where I spent a week and then three weeks at home.”
This time their concert in Budapest bitter It was organized, but of course there was a lot of their help in Hungary, played in DüRER Park, and performed several times in Ura. By the way, they were on a five -week round during Covid, when the entire band caught the virus, but after it was built in Airbnb, Germany, they went to the party, but they had to give up a later tour because of the epidemic.
The band did not cross the ceremony even when they received food poisoning in Romania, and Andersen fainted during the ceremony, but they did not abandon the show when they left them one hour before the party and left the band. “Half an hour has passed until the beginning, and we were unable to find it anywhere, so we called what I said at the airport,” said Millie, who resolved the sudden shortage of employees by programming the standard corridors before the concert. They traded for a week, and another group helped them with the drummer.
In a full position on the road
Of course, the band does not face touring or concerts, but it has many other projects, Andersen will organize concerts for other gangs at the rest of the time and work during a tour. About how they can bear this amazing amount of the tour physically and mentally, they say it is easily as if it was the most natural thing in the world. “I made a mistake in alcohol five years ago,” says Andersen, who says it is very easy to do musical concerts and tours. Millie says they are definitely getting sick in the tours, but “can be done.”

According to them, their thousand parties were played in Nepal, and their last party in Budapest was about a thousand. Although they were on the road for 15 years, they were still surprised, for example, they played in their current tour for the first time in Montenegro and Albania, they say they presented the best concert in Tirana in the tour. They have placed a sign of two new European countries, and they did not play in a few countries, such as Liechtenstein and Andorra, and their current tour was completed in the Faro Islands.
Their big dream is to wander in Africa, they haven’t come there yet, although they tried it several times. They only talk about the future of the band, Andersen says they are planning to sign a great publisher and work in the new album. So they are not planning to stop at all, close Andersen interview and dissect the body for the future of the band
“We keep the device in movement.”
