Tears (Danish band)

Tears was a Danish band formed 1967 in Aarhus, as one of the first jazz-rock bands from Denmark. The first record Tears from 1970 became very rare when a fire at Spectator Records destroyed tapes and stock in 1972. In relation to Holger Laumann's job as a music teacher, Tears also recorded an album in 1970 under the name It's So Easy, which was a children's record with Lis Sørensen.

The singer Anne Linnet joined Tears at the age of 17, and participated on the two records from 1973 to 1974, which are still called a kind of jazz-rock. Her relationship with the band member Holger Laumann had a significant influence on how she later became a famous musician in Denmark, through Shit & Chanel. Tears called themselves Det Beskidte Dusin in 1975, and a record with the same name was released in 1977. Tears was not officially dissolved, but sometimes played in other contexts. Anne Linnet left Tears in 1976.
