Ampeg 8×10 anyone?

Hey, anyone want my beloved Ampeg cabinet 8×10, in exchange for an Ampeg 4×10 or 1×15? It works perfectly, it just misses the wheels poor thing. I would love to keep it, but money stands in my way of buying a smaller one to bring on the road with me.
So if anyone wants a bigger [...]

Gjengen fra Loddikken

Fin liten sak fra Lydverket om musikk-miljøet i Loddefjord. John Olav Nilsen og gjengen må vel sies å være favoritten min av loddikkene. Rennesteins-poeten John Olav sine tekster er deilig trist på en måte… Sjekk ut platen For Sant Til Å Være Godt, som er ute i butikkene no.

Passion Pit (US) + Support: Montée

onsdag 2. september kl. 20:00 på Parkteatret

Mens Passion Pits første EP ‘Chunk of Change’ opprinnelig var ment som en valentines gave til jenta som “holdt ut med” vokalist Michael Angelakos, er den kritikerroste oppfølgeren “Manners” laget med fullt overlegg på alle vis, en samling låter helt fri for fyll-materiale;
“Manners” er en så umiddelbar fornøyelse at jeg [...]

Over og ut Øya 2009.

Ok, mine dager på Øya sett gjennom et litt for lite kamera.
Torsdagen var fantastisk med deilig vær og masse bra band. “Mungolian Jet Set” var fett som bare det, “Tønes” sin yatzy sang gikk rett hjem, men favoritten den dagen må vel bli “Wilco”.
Lørdagen var en sliten dag, med alt for mye på plakaten. Men vi [...]
