Direct flight: Paris - Nomeansno

Nomeansno Oslo Norway 09.17.07
Got off the plane at 9:45 PM and stood with my bag in hand at Garage in Oslo at 10:30 just in time for Nomeansno. Eventhough I was a total mess, it was fun. Lots of new songs; in other words no greatest hits show. A couple of pix etc: They have a new-ish record out called All Roads Lead To Ausfahrt. Have a listen or whatever....

I still got you Icecream

Sep 10, 2007, 4:05pm Compost Modern Art
So, it seems like "grunge" is back at Sub Pop. Pissed Jeans sounds like a cross between Tad and Paw...anyone remember those bands? I don't mean that as a bad thing...honest. I was raised on that type of stuff (for better or worse). Sub Pop still got it. Pissed Jeans - I Still Got You (Ice Cream) Can you believe they still can't say the word "pissed" on american radio? What a bunch of [...]

My idea of fun...

The Stooges Live in Fredrikstad
So the Stooges were great....obviously. Nice to see Mike Watt on bass. Don't think I've seen him since he played the first ever foo fighters gig...? I don't remember. Anyway, Iggy was a wildman on stage as expected. They played in the square of what looked like an old castle. A prefect setting. The Setlist was as follows: * Loose * Street * 1969 * I wanna be your dog * T.V. Eye * My idea of fun * Dirt * Real Cool Time * No fun * 1970 * Mind Room * Fun House / L.A. Blues [...]

G.A.Y. Gay Against You are from Glasgow Scotland. According to the press release they "inhabit the middle ground between C yndi L auper and the Locust."

This show was organized by the good people at http://www.redyellowcab.com/ Check out Gay Against You - Sooo Heat Band info and more downloads: [...]

Locust

Locust plays in Oslo 17/8 07
So the Locust played here the other week. Good energy and a pretty good turnout. Opener was Otto Von Schirach who's insane disco metal was filled with references to farting, puking, buttsex and zombies. In other words, real sophisticated humour. Somebody filmed some of the Locust show. Take a look: I've been a bit burned out lately, so I've missed alot of shows (including the Oslo jazz festival), but I promise to destroy more of my hearing for your [...]

Øya Festival wrapup.

Aug 23, 2007, 2:35am Compost Modern Art
Øya Festival wrapup. Well, the festival is over; people are back to their boring lives at work. What a letdown. I started my week of loud noise watching GTUK at Spasibar who also played later at the festival. He's a wild German guy who screams over insanely fast Nintendo beats....great stuff. Tuesday Magnus Moriarty, Ranheim and Bungalow Ranchstyle rocked Internationalen. Wednesday it all started in the park with expensive drinks and lots of good music. Boredoms were fantastic. 3 drum sets and a wall of noise. Fuck hippie drum circles, Boredoms are the real shit. Tinariwen played heartwarming African desert blues, followed by [...]

Øya Festival

Aug 5, 2007, 1:40pm Compost Modern Art
Ok, so it's finally time for the Øya festival here in Oslo. Øya has one of the most eclectic lineups on the festival circuit. Basically, they have good and varying taste. Some of the highlights for me this year are Bordoms from Japan, Tinariwen from the desert in Mali, Spoon, Gogol Bordello, Justice (FR), Shining, Patrick Watson (CA), Woven Hand, Battles, Malajube, plus a whole bunch of bands of different styles and sounds from all over the world (plus a bunch of local bands I'll be skipping...well most of them).

Silver Daggers OK, so I've been asleep at the wheel. NO post for over a week? I'm sure you're crying yourself to sleep. So I've decided to post about the Silver Daggers, or as I like to call them, the silver dags. "Joy" is the new "single" from the new record on Load Records . I saw this band a few years ago in Seattle, and they rule. Spazz Jazzcore from LA or something....I'm too drunk to write any more info, they are just great. Just look at this: JOY Yes, lots of balloons. [...]

Erika Stucky Trio live @ Kongsberg Jazz Festival
So, it's been quiet here, I know. I've been at 15+ konserts last week in a little Norwegian town called Kongsberg. The National Guard was called in to try to limit damage from flooding. It was the biggest flood in 50 years. It did not ruin the festival though. I got what's called a "særings pass" loosly translated a weirdo pass. This gets you in to all the avantgarde shows. First up was Gjerstad & Nilssen-Love 4tet. Frode Gjerstad started Ultralyd, a great Stavanger band. (Some of the people in Ultralyd play in Noxagt) Paal Nilssen-Love is [...]

Deerhoof Live in Oslo
OK, I'm back from vacation. I've gotten millions of angry letters wondering why I haven't written anything in a while so here goes. Lets start with the great Deerhoof show last Tuesday. The atmosphere was top notch. They played both old and new "hits". Some of the most intense and wild drumming I've ever seen. It was Deerhoof's first time in Oslo, and they seemed to have a great time. They did learn one Norwegian syllable: "Takk". Here are some short video clips and random photos I took. Photos! [...]

Pecola Alright . It's time for some Canadian music eh. Pecola : probably the best screamo noise punk jazz band ever....what ever that is. I guess it's classified as "math rock". Whatever. Anyway, I've literally worn through my copy of the Dat Hoang 12" and only got mp3s left of it. I have The Mexican on cd , but its also seen better days. I think both are out of print at this point. I've worked really hard to get my tinnitus to where it is today thanks to those records (and [...]
