Stickfrau Writes (on Stickman page) that a European tour is lined up for May and June, and that dates will be posted "shortly".

I like the description of Fiske – the mercenart psychedelic halfbreed.
Nice interview; good concert review. It still pisses me off that I managed to miss this – I was at a conference in Tromsø that week, and didn't realize that Motorpsycho were playing there until I had returned home. Maybe I should visit this forum more often.
@fillmore: what do you mean, "bring back g35"? are you suggesting g35 is dead? :lol:
otherdemon: yes, Ãœberwagner sounded like that.
Some other points the video reminded me of: The stage set-up was quite traditional, with Kenneth in the back, Reine on the left, Bent in the centre, and Snah on the right (as seen from the audience). Reine only played guitar; no mellotron this time. And the five lamps from the video were present also this time-
ThorEgil: Kulturguffen is me, by the way.
I think I'll pretend that I take my job seriously, and not watch that video in my Office. I'll try to watch it tonight.
I'm not sure what was included, but both songs were long, and at least Ãœberwagner included more than what I know from the record. Possibly The Pilgrim, possiblee something else.
This is just between you and me, of course, but I'm not familiar With COTF. Thus, it's hard to say whether there were more extras included than Go to California.
Juergen: I did not recognize the instrumental, nor have I heard the Ã…lesund show. Can I describe the song? It was a rather fast and energetic song, if I remember correctly. Other songs were also played at a furious speed, it almost seemed as if Bent had trouble keeping up during Whip that ghost.
The guy at 2:14 may have liked some Blissard songs, but he only got one. I think it went like this:
Year Zero
Hell
August
Vanishing Point
Ãœberwagner
Whip that ghost
Barleycorn
In the Family
Greener
Cornucupia/Go to California
Instrumental
You Lied

Not the best Motorpsycho-show I've ever seen, but still very good. The catchy, snappy songs were better received; the jammy parts less so. For me, the highlights were Barleycorn, Greener and the instrumental they played before You Lied.
Reine Fiske is a great addition. I hope he remains with them for a long time.
A review from Bergens Tidende (5/6)

Wow. How excellent was that? A great, great show, made even better by the fact that the audience was actually listening. The quiet parts are normally spoiled by people talking; this time there was complete silence.
Highlights? Plenty. They played five Bliss-songs (Sinful, Drug thing, Greener [final encore], STG, and a marvellous Manmower). The highlight was another mid-nineties song though, an out of this world-version of Un Chien.
I haven't heard the Eggplant yet. Some new songs appealed to me, others did not. Ratcatcher, for instance, didn't impress me too much. Nevertheless, a very fine concert.
