Feedback #6/Bodø HardCore Festival comp

With the last edition off the Norwegian fanzine Feedback (#6) there was a compilation CD and a CD with Käthe kollwitz (the band, not the painter/activist). There has been several complaints about the records so Feedback have decided to put the records out for free download. So here they are.

The Bodø HardCore Festival compilation was done to promote the festival by the same name. All the artist had their fifteen minutes off fame during the week the festival lasted. Well let the music talk for itself; (styles range from punk/HC to rap and pretechnosynth)

Both tracks recorded at Hunstad kultursenter in Bodø before the band moved to Oslo, where they now live and play.

Tailor Made / 78 Connect / Snedige pøbla (PIF 06)

Tailor Made



1 og 2 er Tailor Made, 3 er 78th Connect/Snedige Pøbla

1. Rapband med Jørgen Nordeng aka Manacle og Rune Bendiksen aka Mess-Age, basert på Ørnes. Demo spilt inn på Radio Meløy i 1994 med musikk produsert av Kristian Mikalsen, Ronny Kristensen og Stian Jenssen. Eneste opptreden utenfor Meløy var på Sirkus Midgard på Rønvikleira samme året. Dette prosjektet var inspirert av den daværende "Eurocore"-scena med band som Gunshot, Killa Instinct og norske B.O.L.T Warhead.

2. Rapband hvor musikken ble laget av DJene Ronny Kristensen alias DJ Ron-K, Terje Larsen alias Mack-T og Kristian Mikalsen alias DJ Peuvipp. Vokalen ble i hovedsak gjort av Jørgen Nordeng. På den første demoen hadde han med seg sin stebror Remi Michael Olufsen aka Cynical. Denne første demoen ble spilt inn i Hønsehuset av Rune Mareliussen og inneholdt "Arctic Zone" og "High All Day". På demo nr 2 står kun Jørgen for vokalen på "Dimming The Brighter Day", "P Luvaz" og "Six Pack Of Heineken". På "Slappin The Hoes" rapper også Ron-K og Mack T.










3. Etterhvert kom Håvard Jenssen (nå kjent som Jan Steigen) og Morten Brandtzæg aka Mad Dada med. Bandet skiftet da navn til 78 Connect, og Håvard og Jørgen startet også den norskspråklige underavdelinga Snedige Pøbla. Disse debuterte på en dobbeltkonsert med Ziploc på Sinus. Mens Tailor Made i hovedsak var inspirert av p-funk og vestkystens gangstarap, dreide 78 mot mer abstrakte jazzloops og rim. Høydepunktet til denne inkarnasjonen var da de opptrådde for et fullsatt Sinus som oppvarming for Warlocks på Sinus. Desverre ble denne inkarnasjonen aldri foreviget.

Etter noen få konserter som det ble de oppløst sommeren 97. Under hele karrieren har TAILOR MADE brukt diverse session gitarister, deriblandt Tarjei Nordeng og Gaute Svendsen.

Av de involverte i Tailor Made/78 Connection Shuffle/Snedige pøbla har flere lange karrierer som DJer. Mest kjent for folk flest er nok Nordeng, og etter hvert Jenssen, for sin tid i nå (snart) oppløste Tungtvann og i lys levende Raggabalder.

Tailor Made


"P Luvaz" er det eneste som tidligere er utgitt offisielt. Den låten finnes på samleplaten "Hilsen Nord Norge" (Nordnorsk Musikkproduksjon NNCD 9601) CD 96

Tailor Made was a rap group that startet at Ørnes (some miles south of Bodø) as a duo of Jørgen Nordeng aka Manacle and Rune Bendiksen aka Mess-Age. They made a demo before Nordeng moved to Bodø and teamed up with the DJ`s Ronny Kristensen aka DJ Ron-K, Terje Larsen aka Mack-T and Kristian Mikalsen aka DJ Peuvipp. This group recorded two demo`s, that the tracks on the RAR are from. Later Håvard Jenssen (later known as Jan Steigen) and Morten Brandtzæg aka Mad Dada got involved. At the same time they changed name to 78 Connect, and at the same time Jenssen & Nordeng startet a sub band/duo called Snedige Pøbla that focused on norwegian lyrics. While Tailor Made was inspired by p-funk and westcoast gangstarap, was 78 much more into jazzloops. Both bands collapsed in the summer of 97. Jenssen & Nordeng later in the most famous Norwegian rap band that used Norwegian lyrics, Tungtvann. They are also a reggae/dancehall DJ duo called Raggabalder.

Tailor Made

Only "P Luvaz" has been released officaly before. The track was included on the compilation "Hilsen Nord Norge" (Nordnorsk Musikkproduksjon NNCD 9601) CD 96
