Originally released on 2025’s album House of Sticks, the song has immediately become a live favourite. The song kicks into life and the band begins to dance beneath the warm glow of their logo.and the tone is immediately set.  Talking about it Thorbjørn Risager says, “Already Gone is a classic Thorbjørn Risager & TBT blues rock track with some pretty solid guitar work from Joachim Svensmark. Since we started the release tour it has been the opening song of all our shows. The energy and the groove of the song is just a perfect way to get the band and the crowd in the right mood.”

Set against an Art Deco backdrop, it perfectly suits the smooth, smoky blues of Denmark’s hardest-working band.
The show was recorded at their sold-out performance on 29 November 2025, one of the band’s final shows on their House of Sticks winter tour, and saw the band fully flexing their sophisticated might.

“Hotel Cecil has a certain intimacy,” says Risager. “It’s big enough to have power, but still close enough that you can really feel the faces in front of you. That kind of room invites you to dig deeper — both musically and emotionally. There’s a history in places like that. You can feel that many stories have unfolded there.”

Reflecting on the night, he recalls, “I remember a great sense of anticipation backstage — that quiet buzz before you walk on stage. The room felt warm, very present. The audience was listening — really listening — and then when the groove hit, they were right there with us. That exchange of energy is everything.”

The eight-piece band adorned the high stage. The curtains are raised. As the lights are dimmed, the band’s neon logo draws your attention. The drape-flanked room catapults you to another place and another time. That’s where the Danish sensations draw you in.

Thorbjørn Risager (Vocals, Electric Guitar), Emil Balsgaard (Organ, Keys), Joachim Svensmark (Electric Guitar), Kasper Wagner (Baritone Sax), Hans Nybo (Tenor Sax), Peter W Kehl (Trumpet), Søren Bøjgaard (Bass), and Martin Seidelin (Drums, Percussion) – have won four Danish Music Awards (with seven nominations), the “Best Band” in the European Blues Awards and won the prestigious German Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik Jahrespreis – German Record Critics’ Awards. They’ve sold over 100,000 physical albums and surpassed 32 million streams, all the while blazing a trail worldwide with more than 1.500 shows. They’ve opened for Bonnie Raitt, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, jammed with the legendary Buddy Guy and even picked up a fan in Elwood Blues himself – Dan Aykroyd! – who hailed their “Hot rhythm and blues.”

Live At Cecil Hotel proves to be a special moment.” A sold-out show still sends a tingling sensation through a band. “It’s humbling. Truly. We’ve built this step by step over many years, often far from home. To see “Sold Out” means people have chosen to spend their evening with us. That’s not something I take lightly,” he says.
