These are quite intriguing...


I see'em everywhere 'round town, but nobody seems to know what they are. Hmm. Mysterious. Mysterious indeed.

The Ratcats - Hero

Hell yeah! Rock and Roll in it's purest form, fellas! Oslo band Ratcats performs at the release party for the album "License to Rumble". The gig was @ SOUND OF MU in Grünerløkka, OSLO. Classic stuff this :) Too bad you can't see the bass player, though. Huh huh huh.

Elm Street rock cafe

Established in 1990, Elm Street Rock Café is one of Norways - not to mention Scandinavias - longest living Rock'n'Roll bars. Be sure to visit on a band night, and come early to sample some of this venues exellent pubfoods. If ya don't fancy hangin' out down at the all American TGIF joint but want a great burger, this is the place. And if breakfast is yer thing you can always order an Elvis. Or a Double Elvis. Or 'course the veggie alternative. He he.



A small sample of the visiting (and usually returning) bands:

Motorhead, Faith no more, Deep Purple, Turboneger, Mick Ronson, Motley Crue, Die Toten Hosen, Steve O & the Jack Ass kids, Iron Maiden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Status Quo, Gluecifer, Guns n' Roses, Mayhem, Hollywood Brats, Nikki Sudden, Groovie Ghoulies, Nine Pound Hammer. The list just goes on.

The serious brush up in 2002 didn't manage to kill the fantastic atmosphere, and from '03 the stage is back at it's original place (after havin' spent some odd years in the corner behind the tiolets!) so what else can I say other that C'MON DOWN!

Munkelia munchies



Yeah we certainly had a blast yesterday up @ Cake's place. Plenty of wino and some magnificent pieces of pork. And beer. And Rock. Huge amounts of Rock.

The Cake, El Presidente and Christ - eating, drinkin' and a-swingin' to them Punk Rock beats! He he he. Dunno how to stick this to ya'll, but I'm afraid this is a privat establishment :)

I'll try to give some input on the more public houses of Oslo at a later stage, but for now just be thankful of the knowledge that the kids are alright.

Ahh...


A beer at Børst! in Grünerløkka after rehersing with Crime Club. A nice place - not too crowdy, and a friendly barkeeper. Even possible to jack into the resident Macintosh and fill up iTunes with goodies from your personal MP3 player. It reads only ROCK AND ROLL on the menu outside, but that's not alltogether true. All is well, though. And the Cake sez hi.
