Rumpistol (aka Jens Berents Christiansen) released his debut album in 2003 on Rump Recordings and has played many concerts in Denmark and abroad since then.
Festivals like Fusion (D), Norberg (S), Ekko (N), ADE (NL), and Public Service (DK) should be mentioned as well as different concerts at as different places as Mexico and the Baltic countries.
Futhermore, he has done remixes and appeared on a split-EP released by the small Danish label, Auditory Designs, as well as different compilation appearances.
As a musician, Jens Berents Christiansen has a background in the band Magtværk, where he played guitar, synths, and sang, but since he left the band in the year 2000, he has been concentrating on the Rumpistol project.
In a review of Rumpistols debut album, Ken Hollings of the English magazine, The Wire, wrote: “Rumpistols work breathes fresh and open air with admirable confidence, knowing when to pause and when to press on. The balance between fleeting melody and hinted ambience is carefully maintained. ...Guaranteed to take you from the latest of nights to the earliest of mornings with the least amount of fuss.”
(Ken Hollings, The Wire, april - 2004).
