1000Fryd is a small café, bar, and community center with a stage, a recording studio, a cinema, and an art gallery, located in Aalborg, Denmark.
Since 1000Fryd opened in 1984 there have been thousands of concerts by both well known bands – such as Die Toten Hosen and Green Day – and utterly obscure local performers, such as Jimmy Justice and Columbian Neckties.
[6] The bar has been plagued by vandalism and fighting, including a riot in front of it in 2007,[2] and at one point almost lost its liquor licence.
[4][7] 1000Fryd plays a major role in Jakob Ejersbo's successful novel Nordkraft, which explores the culture of disaffected urban youth at the turn of the 1980s–1990s and was adapted as a film in 2005 (English title: Angels in Fast Motion)[citation needed] and as a play in 2011.
Not working-class as such, but rather a sort of youth proletariat that made itself felt very strongly in Aalborg and Aarhus in those years".
