So its been a long time has it not?
Apologies for being rather quiet on the blogging front over the past few weeks, but we have been exceptionally busy.
On the 23rd July we made our first ever festival appearance at Feriefestivalen 2009 in Molde, Norway. It was an fantastic weekend filled with lots of great music, ice cold beers and new friends.
Our home for the duration of our stay was Bård Watn´s beautiful house, Casa Murilo´s best friend was the artist in residence at the festival and not once during any of his 6 sets did he disappoint the ever faithful crowd.
We played two sets over the weekend, the first being on the 23rd at 2300hrs in a cave! It was perhaps the strangest and most exciting stage we have ever played on, hidden amongst the trees behind a beautiful house and built by Russian prisoners of war under the ever watchful eye of the Nazis! Our acoustic set was the first ever gig in the cave and I think we did a pretty good job, the sound was great and the crowd all seemed to have their singing voices with them.
Our second set came on Saturday 25th on the outdoor stage and, whilst not quite as intimate as the Nazi cave had been, was really good fun despite the wind and rain moving in about ten minutes before we arrived on stage. A big thank you is owed to all of you who braved the conditions to sing and dance along.
I have no doubt that next year´s festival will be even better and we are all looking forward to making the trip north again (if we are invited!).
