A much better venue than Musikens Hus where they played last time. Very happy!
Still also hoping they get booked for Roadburn.
Hoping for this as well! Noticed they had played there a few times before, but none of the years I was there.
I’m considering heading over for the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter gig, mainly because it’d be easy to travel to Oslo just for the day, but I wonder if it will be as fun on a sunday in the middle of the day. Is it a good venue?
Also, I read that Dungen will be touring from the end of October through November, so I guess that means no Motorpsycho tour during that time. Unless they tour without Reine, of course!
I noticed the Motorpsycho + Kjetil Møster gig is not listed on the band website. Do you think it’s because it’s more of an improv than your typical Motorpsycho show, or just an oversight?
I felt bad my review sounded negative, so I just wanted to make it clear how great I thought it was despite my complaints, and what a privilege it was to see the band up close like that, everyone seemed to really be enjoying themselves. I only have one show with Järmyr to compare with but I too think this line-up is amazing.
I feel stupid complaining about a few reocurring songs when most bands will just play the same thing over and over every night.
The sound was really good and I thought the band was tight except perhaps during Balthazaar. There were a few too many songs I would have prefered not to hear again today, Manmower and The Tower especially. Glad to finally see them do Gullible’s Travails, but I don’t think it translated as well live as most of their songs do. Would still say it was a great gig today, but I liked the show yesterday much better for the setlist.
I’m going to Bergen for the Landmark shows too. I’ve been to Oslo several times but never in Bergen. Shame about the rain which probably means little exploring, but I’m looking forward to the shows!
Oh, that sounds very promising. Thank you! I’ll try to get tickets!
Ah that’s a always shame when there’s a low turnout. Tends to be that way when a band I _really_ want to see stops by here in Gothenburg, usually only half full at best. Even Motorpsycho when they played here last time
Next time I see the band I want to try to attend two consecutive gigs. I’m toying with the idea of heading over to see them in Bergen, I’ve never been there. Is the Landmark venue any good?
Appears to be a single, or perhaps an album, called Fanny Again, Or. Is that supposed to be a play on Love’s Alone Again Or?
Thanks for the feedback on the improved sound quality!
I stupidly bought the new vinyl from bandcamp, wanting a digital copy too. Had I bought from the MP store I could’ve gotten the cd as well for almost the same price it seems.
It was only a few months ago since I bought the old version of CotF, I haven’t gotten around to listening yet. Going by the Ozzylot preview track on bandcamp, does this new remaster really sound that much better?
Thanks! I can definetely hear bits and pieces both in Whipping Post and Jessica. I should perhaps leave digging any further not to lessen the value of Whip that ghost for me ;-)
I’m a fairly new to Motorpsycho, having listened occasionally since Kingdom of Oblivion, and obsessing since the last year or so. I’m working my way through all the albums and the first time I heard Phanerothyme it left an incredibly negative impression due to the terrible twee of ‘When you’re dead’ closing the album. When I heard it again later on I started realising how good the rest of the tracks were. Now I think it’s one of the most enjoyable, aside from WYD which is still terrible.
Regarding Go to california and Whip that ghost being pastiches, I’m curious what WTG is a pastiche of, I _love_ that tune!
