About this listen
Part 1 of our 4-part interview with Danish rock icon Claus Berthelsen (Naïve).
Origins, post-punk Copenhagen, soundscapes, line-up changes, and the “Marble Afternoon” legacy.
The Far Distance Band Podcast is back — and we’re kicking off with a 4-part deep dive into Danish rock history.
In Part 1, we sit down with Danish rock icon Claus Berthelsen — songwriter, singer, and radio host — best known as the driving force behind Naïve.
We rewind to the early years: Copenhagen in the early 80s, post-punk energy, changing line-ups, and the moment the name Naïve lands. Claus shares what it’s like to carry a catalogue that still sounds fresh decades later — including the legacy of “Marble Afternoon”, and why the band never quite became as big as the songs deserved.
If you’re into songwriting, band chemistry, and the stories behind the sound, this one’s for you.
