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)

1. Sinnsyk ugle - Pistola (live)
2. Laura - Ved soloppgang
3. Manna (feat. Jørg-1) - Røbban & døbban
4. Jimbo Jones -Ufo 666
5. Magnus Eliassen - Follow Me
6. Joddski - Ting på gang
7. PLX-15 - Midnattsbarn (live)
8. Raggabalder - Joddski & Yt
9. The Spectacle - Driven

Sinnsyk ugle is the hotest band in Bodø this year. Here they are with a unreleased live version of one off their "hits". Laura is a new girl trio from Bodø that has lasted a year and has just released a EP where their contribution to this compilation is borrowed from. Manna is Norways most famous reggae band.On this dub version they has got vocal help from one off Norways most famous rap artists; Jørg-1 off Tungtvann fame. Jimbo Jones track is from their comming album that shall be out somtime during 2008. Magnus Eliassen has out a 7" and a album that has been out for free download on his web. Joddski (aka Jørg-1) with a unreleased track (?). PLX-15 with a unreleased live version off their biggest hit. Raggabalder is both a duo band and a DJ act into reggae/dancehall/ska. The Spectacle track has never been played live or been released before so this is a real treat for the fans.

Käthe kollwitz - Demo

1. Come Join Us
2. Silence At Ground Zero

Both tracks recorded at Hunstad kultursenter in Bodø before the band moved to Oslo, where they now live and play. Demo was recorded by Jørgen Rist Holmen and later Hallstein Sandvin has done a mix off the tapes at Hønsehuset lydstudio in Bodø that ended up on this CD. The band can be contacted here. Käthe kollwitz did a legendary concert at the festival and is more than ready for bigger festivals, longer tours and most off all a great record contract.

Untitled (PIF 26)


Untitled came in several cover variations, all made by Runar Karlsen.

De pravity (et bein). After being in several experimental Bodø outfits like “ “ Part, Remi Langmo teamed up with Jon Hveding. They had a whole bunch off names on their projects/duos/bands. Most off them is to be found on the Bla bla vol. 1 compilation cassette. One off these projects was De Pravity (et bein). They did a concerts as a trio including Buster from “ “ Part, but on this contribution they was a duo.

After a while with several names they ended up as PLX-15 and were a pre-techno duo (later trio) that released several cassettes and was included on compilations. Got not much attention since they was before their time. They toured a lot but without much success, so they broke up.

Langmo has after PLX-15 broke up, been solo artist under several names, like Remi and Wiipoor Will. He has released cassettes under both those names. Before, at the same time and after DE Pravity (et bein) broke up, he was in bands like The Gate, X-omatic, Manna, Humdinger and H.C. Electronic Orchestra.

Hveding moved to Oslo at the end off PLX-15. There he has been in a lot off bands like Behind Bars, Wantoslam, Bøyen beng, Crossbreed, Drunk a.o. They was all into punk and HC and they has released several albums, except Wantoslam that has tracks on compilations too look back at. Especially Bøyen beng toured a lot, also in Europe. They even had a minor commercial hit with the track “Månebarn”. After moving back to Bodø late in the 90`s he startet postpunk outfit HumdinGer. Later he quit to be a fulltime member off the reggae band Manna, and still is.

Fâlx Çèrebri. For more information visit his MySpace, you find it here.

Famlende forsøk. The band was started early in the 80`s and have since released a lot off cassettes and two LPs. They have also several tracks on compilations. Started as a band heavily influenced by the Industrial Records wave of band from the 70`s, like Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and others. They soon left the trademark off their origins and have since that, never looked back. FF plays a strange and experimental music somewhere between Faust and Einstürzende neubauten, with a heavy dose Nurse With Wound and has not ever sounded like any off these bands. They sound like FF, that’s it.

Before and at the same time as they was involved in FF they has played in several bands and solo projects. Most off them are on compilations or on their own releases on the bands label Shit Tapes that changed name to Chaos some years ago. Off all this side bands/projects I assume that The Smell Of Incense is the most well known.

Here are som links that might be off interest; #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11

Dan Mc Kinney. I could not find any info about McKinney on the internet. There is a piano player with the same name, but I don’t think it’s the same person.

GX Jupitter Larsen & the Haters. For more info here are some www addresses; #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11

Martin Howard Naylor. Could not find much info on Mr. Naylor on the internet. So here is a quote for you written by Dave Henderson in the mid 80`s; “After a brief flirtation with classical music Naylor built his own synth and started experimenting with sound. Setting up his own cassette/video label, Sorcerer Sound Productions (34, Bassingham Road, Wembley, Middx) he developed his own sound system and becoming a member of the London Musicians Collective he began to experiment with eastern instruments. A sample of his work can be heard on the Cause For Concern cassette compilation 'A Sudden Surge Of Power' (see CFC) and information and other tapes can be obtained direct from SSP.” From Dave Henderson’s “Wild Planet” series in Sounds, between 1983 and 1984.

Ny gate. Pop band that came out off the ruins from the punk band The Gate in Bodø early in the 80`s. On vocals they had Peter Pogo and the lyrics were a mix between punkish socialism and pure love songs. Ny gate was a good live band that got out a cassette and then a mini LP before they broke up. They was among the first bands from the punk/post punk area out of North of Norway to tour in Scandinavia. The band moved to Oslo at a late stage off their career, but it didn’t help them. They broke up late 80`s.

System liliput. For more info, look at the last blog entry before this one.

Termisk sammenbrudd. Before Ny gate had broke up Peter Pogo had a project called Termisk sammenbrudd. This was a synth outfit that he started as a duo with Kmysle. After their debut concert it has been a solo project. As that he has done a few concerts and made ballet music for a ballet that Amanda Steggell made.
Petter Pogo as Termisk sammenbrudd (Foto; Linn Stemland)
He had played in one off Bodøs first punk bands Hjertesvikt A/S before Termisk sammenbrudd. He quit after Hjertesvikt A/S had released their split cassette with The Gate. After Ny gate broke up he was involved in several Oslo bands like And The Balcony Fell, Bøyen beng, Pogomax, T-zers, Schweinhund a.o. Most known are his time in Jokke & Valentinerne, that later had line up changes and ended up like Jokke & Tourettes. Jokke is probably the most known composer off rock in Norway during the last 20 years. After his tragic death there has even been a road called up after him in Oslo. After this he has played in several bands like Valentourettes, SS Bondevik, Ronny Pøbel and in St. Thomas backingband, among many others. He has a silver medal in the Norwegian airguitar competition NM i luftgitar (!).

Vous. This was a solo project from Johnny Larssen. First he released two cassettes under his birth name, one off them was a split release with Martin Howard Naylor, before he ended up as Vous. As that he did a concert and then not doing music for several years.

Before he went solo he was living in Narvik, Norway. Here he was involved in several bands. Two off these has gone down in the history of Norwegian music as worth mention. First off all he was in the punk band Kriminel Ungdom. They changed their musically style to postpunk and had several line up changes before they ended up as Krim. U. As this they were on the cassette compilation “Null problem” and became a big underground band. At the same time he played in the progrock influenced band Slakt. They got out an album and then broke up. Since then they have had several reunion concerts.

He moved to Bodø early in the 80`s and went solo. After a break from music he came back as bass player in the postpunk influenced band Den tid…den sorg during the 90`s. Since then he has played in several bands in the more or less postpunk area from HumdinGer to Blaakraft among others.

Humdinger (PIF 15)


Humdinger ble startet på slutten av 90 tallet og hadde sin debut konsert på Mira kro i Skjerstad våren 99. De besto da av; Jon Hveding (gitar/vokal) Tommen Hveding (gitar/kor) Remi Langmo (tangenter) og Nigel Mowles (bass). Rytmeboksen fra første konsert ble rett etterpå byttet ut med den høyst levende Lars Nicolaysen (aka Skjit-Lars) som trakterte slagverket. Med hans inntog var han gjenforent med ex PLX-15erne J. Hveding og Langmo, i tillegg til T. Hveding og Mowles som ikke hadde særlig lang band erfaring. Jon Hveding vil nok mange huske fra band som Bøyen beng og Behind Bars og nå i Manna. Nicolaysen er urpønker med Norges første pønk låt utgitt på vinyl i USA (bidraget på Welcome to 1984) og nok mest kjent for det, spiller også i lydlauget Psykisk tortur samt flere solo prosjekter.

Etter noen få konserter slutter Mowles (og returnerer til England hvor han nå spiller i Miss Misery.) for å bli erstattet av Jens Hasselberg. Med det kom en av de mest rutinerte bassistene i Bodøs musikkliv inn i bandet. Hasselberg har tidligere spilt i band som Black Morning (Bodø bandet ikke det Australske) og FWJB, samt en rekke jobber som backingmusiker både live og studio. Denne utgaven av Humdinger fikk gitt ut bandets debutalbum i 2000 som kledelig nok het ”Humdinger” (visstnok et amerikansk ord for noe eller noen av høy kvalitet.). Samme året hadde de låten (hentet fra debut albumet) ”Musroom Men” på 7” ep samleren Fuckin' North Pole Punk Rock Collection vol.1. Etter dette skulle det gå noen år før det kom nye utgivelser.

I mellomtiden forsvant Hasselberg, J. Hveding og Langmo ut av bandet. Etter flere personellskifter fikk T. Hveding og Nicolaysen med seg Steven Balmbra (vokal) og Johnny Larssen (bass). Sistnevnte opprinnelig fra Narvik hvor han bl.a. spilte i Krim.U. og Slakt. Fra 80 tallet bosatt i Bodø hvor han bl.a. har hatt et solo prosjekt. Denne kvartetten har holdt sammen siden mai 2004. De konsertdebuterte på Bodø HardCore Festival i november 2005. Denne konserten ble filmet og utgitt som DVD tre dager senere i november 05. Noen konserter senere så er vi i april 2007 og bandet har akkurat vært i studio igjen for å spille inn en demo. Så får framtiden vise hva som skjer med den.

1) Humdinger (Humdinger) CD-R 2000

2) div artister - Fuckin`North Pole Punk Rock Collection Vol. 1" (Requiem Productions/Underground, 2000) med låten "Mushroom Men" fra "Humdinger". Platen kom ut i 300 nummererte eksemplarer fordelt på 3 vinylfarger av 100 eksemplarer hver. Fargene var rød, grønn og blå. Utgitt i samarbeid med Underground records. Hver av selskapene hadde sitt cover så det eksisterer ca 50 ex på hver vinylfarge med respektive selskap sitt cover. Covret som er brukt her er Requiem sin utgave.

Humdinger was started at the end of the 1990`s and had it`s first concert at Mira kro in Skjerstad in the spring of 99. The band was; Jon Hveding (guitar/vocal) Tommen Hveding (guitar/background vocal) Remi Langmo (synth) and Nigel Mowles (bass). The rythmbox used at the first gig was soon after replaced with the living legend Lars Nicolaysen (aka Skjit-Lars) on drums. With Nicolaysen in the band he was reunited with ex PLX-15 mates J. Hveding and Langmo. The other two; T. Hveding and Mowles, didn`t have much band experience before Humdinger. Jon Hveding is famous for his part in bands like Bøyen beng and Behind Bars and now in Manna. Nicolaysen had the first Norwegian punk track released on wax in the States with his contribution on Welcome to 1984), he is also involved in bands like industrial metal percussion orientated Psykisk tortur and sevral solo projects.

After a few concerts Mowles quit and returns to England and joins Miss Misery. He was replaced by Jens Hasselberg. Hasselberg is one off the oldtimers in Bodø scene. He had played in bands like Black Morning (Bodø band, not the Australian band) and FWJB, and a lot off session work both in studio and on the road for other artists. This line up of Humdinger released their self titled debut album in 2000. The same year they had a track from the album on a 7" punk compilation for bands in North of Norway called "Fuckin' North Pole Punk Rock Collection vol.1". After this it would be years before the next release.

(Current line up animated by Tiny)
In the meantime Hasselberg, J. Hveding and Langmo quit. Several person came and quited before a new englishman ended up in Humdingers line up. Steven Balmbra (vocal) didn`t have much band experience but enough to take over the fontman jobb. Johnny Larssen (bass) has his origins from Narvik where he played in bands like Krim.U. and Slakt. From the 80`s living in Bodø where he had a solo project under his own name (splitt MC with Martin Howard Naylor) and as Vous. This line up has been togheter as Humdinger since May 2004.

Fresh Fruit (PIF 05)


(foto av Mr. Tverbakk)

Bandet startet opp som Funny Farm høsten 91 av Terje Hongset (bass) Tore Karlsen (trommer) Jostein Svarstad (gitar) og Ørjan Tverbakk (sang/gitar). Disse rakk å gjøre unna konsert debuten utpå nyåret 92 før Karlsen sluttet. Han ble erstattet med Roger Johansen i en kort periode, samtidig som de skiftet navn til Fresh Fruit. Johansen forsvant etter noen dager ut i jazzens verden og ble i slutten av september 92 erstattet av Mads Toftebakk. Dette oppsettet debuterte på Bertnesrocken 92 i Mørkvedhallen 9/10-92. Etter dette flere konserter og vant lokal talentkonkurranse.

I løpet av februar 93 rakk de å spille inn en demo med Håvard Christensen som produsent (låt 1-3 på vedlagte RAR). De spilte sin avskjedskonsert under Nordland musikkfestuke på Sinus den 31/7-93 (låt 4-12 på vedlagte RAR). Original oppsetet av Fresh Fruit med Johansen på trommer spilte en gjenforeningskonsert på Ad lib sin Julejam på Sinus 22/12-95 som var aller siste gang de spilte live. Hele tiden hadde de Freddy Dahle som åndsfrende, sjåfør, roadie og tok opp konsertene på video. Dette videomaterialet er grunnlaget for deres video til ”Boot Boys” (vedlagt som egen RAR).

Alle som har vært musikere i Fresh Fruit har medvirket i en rekke andre Bodø band. Johansen har i dag et eget jazzband og deltar på en rekke innspillinger. Svarstad er blitt trønder og spiller i en rekke konstellasjoner i Trondheim. I tillegg også medvirket på flere innspillinger. Resten har trappet ned sine karrierer, uten at de har helt lagt vekk ideen med å utøve egen musikk.
