Short segment about The Siste Værste concert in Fredrikstad this weekend

Interviews with Snah and Ingvald + snippets of the new music.

[otherdemon]

1 Psycholab 5:40
2 Return to Sanity 4:02
3 This Is Your Captain 7:04
4 All My Life (I Love You) 3:21
5 Edgar’s Bathtub 0:56
6 Elysium, Soon 8:08
7 Revenants 3:45
8 Crownee Says 3:56
9 Condor 4:08

Excited for the longer songs. The descriptions of those were pretty interesting. The rest is probably a mixed bag. I love Psycholab, but don’t care much for the Skip Spence cover.

[otherdemon]

A bit of a stretch, I think.

Sure it’s the same time signature, and maybe the synth bass riff has the same feel as Bent’s bass riff on Kebabels Tårn.
But it’s played in a different key, and not at all the same notes. And honestly Bent & Snah doesn’t strike me as hardcore gamers who would be overtly familiar with semi-obscure video game music (I could be hilariously wrong though )

This isn’t nearly the same as that Dimmu Borgir instrumental that was blatantly ripped off an old Amiga game.

[otherdemon]

Yeah, I remembered it now.

[otherdemon]

Btw, setlist was:

Psychonaut
Quick Fix
Hey Jane
Rock Bottom
Mountain
X-3
Hyena
Into the Sun

@CaptainAubrey: Last show with Järmyr was this one:

It was an outtake from Maiden Voyage which got released on a compilation called Knall The Album Vol. 3.

And judging by the image on Bandcamp it looks like it’s going to get a 7″ NFGS release

Thanks for the setlist, Francesco.

The most natural question to ask is:
Ingvald or Olaf on drums?

Other than that, zero extended jams.

EDIT:

Walkin’ with J and The Slow Phaseout first time in 22 years.
Another Ugly Tune first time in 30 years

@Devotional: As much as I love that Killer B’s set, 4 cover songs is way too many for a 50 minute hit single set

Lowest odds set is most likely, and I honestly wouldn’t mind it. But you have to take into consideration that Tons of Rock is a festival veering most into hard-rock/metal territory. So Go to California and The Other Fool might be way too soft in those circumstances.

It would be cool if they did something similar to the Quart ’96 gig where they ‘protested’ against being put on a metal stage by playing their heaviest tracks in then current repertoire. Or maybe they’ll protest by playing their absolute softest hits LOL

I honestly don’t have many expectations for this one. As long as I get some sing-along hits along with a couple obscure surprises, I’ll be more than happy

[otherdemon]

Info regarding Tons of Rock:

MP are playing from 14:35 – 15:25 that Wednesday.
Timeslot is LOL, but at least they’re not colliding
with anything worthwhile

[otherdemon]

@Punj-Lizard: Thanks for the impression. So not as acoustically based as Yay! I guess.

I’ll have patience this time and just wait for Neigh! to hear the song in its proper context

[otherdemon]

So how is the new song? Does Psycholab sound like a continuation of Yay, or is it back to MP hard-prog-psychedelia?

[otherdemon]

Would love for them to cover this cult band. Sea Shanties is a forgotten, horribly underrated classic.

[otherdemon]

Looks like 2 releases today: California EP and the Hyena/Bonny Lee single. And reasonably priced (€5 and €2)
