On June 1st, something very special will happen in Lille VEGA.

For troubadour par excellence Klaus Handsome bursts into Lille VEGA with a tribute concert to the Steppeulvene and their iconic album HIP (1967). As an extra little rock spice, it is precisely this day that the album can celebrate its 60th anniversary.

On that occasion, Klaus Handsome and his band will take the stage and play the album from start to finish. The date also marks the release of Klaus Handsome's own album.

With Eik Skaløe's poetic lyrics and the band's distinctive sound, the album struck new chords in Danish music. But shortly after its release, the band's history was tragically cut short when Eik Skaløe lost his life, and HIP remained Steppewolves' only album.

In 2026, Stig Møller, the last remaining member of the Steppewolves, passed away.

Despite a 22-year age difference, the meeting between Stig Møller and Klaus Handsome was the beginning of a friendship that over the years brought him closer to both Stig Møller and his musical circle. Therefore, the concert is not only about re-performing an album, but also about preserving the stories associated with it.

“It's important not to forget where you come from and where it all began. HIP "has had an enormous impact on the development of Danish rock music, and now that all the members of Steppeulvene are gone, I think the story deserves to be told further. Both through the music and the stories that I myself have been allowed to be a part of," says Klaus Handsome in a press release.

The audience can look forward to a special opportunity to relive HIP in its entirety and also get closer to the story behind the album through personal anecdotes and stories from Klaus Handsome. As extras, the audience will have the opportunity to hear a few of the songs from Klaus Handsome's new album.
