Armadillo
Armadillo is large, tight-knit crew that are well stretched before they start! The music is exciting, unpredictable and without limitations. Roles are turned upside down and much of the music has a lyrical touch, where harsh sounds and beautiful harmonies help to create a new, vibrant sound.
Vegard Sanbukt – trumpet, Håkon Aase – violin, Anders Hefre – tenor saxophone, Jasmin Hirschsteiner – baritone saxophone, Audun Aschim Steffensen – guitar, Sindre Øvestegård – bass and Magnus Eide – Drums
Mothman
More wildness is found in Mothman, who experiment with advanced rhythmic elements of progressive rock, jazz and contemporary music, with strong improvisation through their compositions. At the same time they call themselves danceable, so it makes sense to have a bit of a convulsive flair! Band has been together since 2009, and we experience the band at Victoria just home from their European tour.
Mads Røksund – guitar, Tarjei Lienig – Rhodes, Alexander Hoholm – bass and Martin Ulvin – drums.
