I could not imagine

…that I would be a fan of a band playing in the Junior Eurovision Contest, but The Blacksheeps is in fact cool, mostly due to the girl singing. Lydverket went to visit them, and recorded a video of them playing a cover version of Gold Lion by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Impressing, in my opinion she sings it even better live than Yeah Yeah Yeahs does. Make up your own opinion at Youtube

For those who did not know it, they won MGP Junior with 70.000 votes, that’s the double of what band #2 did get! You can listen to their song “Oro Jaska Beana” at http://nrksuper…

I got tickets to Hellacopters

Hellacopters are currently touring Europe on their farewell-tour after 15 years of playing rock’n roll. I’m doing my homework and listening to their concert from Hove earlier this year http://nrkp3.no/konserter/?klipp=382861 to be as prepared as possible before the concert. That, combined with a small amount of beer, and I expect that it will be one hell of a concert!! 🙂

Howl – Higher Class of Lush

I heard the live version of the song “Silver Equals Gold” on the radio and loved it at once. We soon got to realize thanks to P3Tv http://www.nrk.no/p3tv and the recordings from Øya this year that Howl is a Norwegian band. The released their first album last year and got very good reviews. Got the cd as a present from Anders (and Elin) today, I’m very happy!

Grinderman – Grinderman

Birthday present from Elin. The last album signed Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, with the exception that it is not the Bad Seeds, but Grinderman, a side project. Read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinderman
