The biggest scene at Blitz can only take about 100, and on the FB event they are talking about allowing 60 people in each night, which would mean it's a seated event. The cut off for non-seated events indoors is 50 at the moment in Oslo.
Three nights at half capacity at Blitz is little more than a tenth of Sentrum Scene or Rockefeller, so yeah. This is a great example of how these are rough times for artists.
Were you getting excited about a Christmas album as well?
But seriously – trolling this kind of forum?
I mean, this isn't exactly Facebook or Reddit. I just don't *drumroll* geddit!

Fest i hovedstaden
Hvitt lys (Dolphins farvel)

Some notes: "Vardøger" is very ABB.
The verse of "Tvillingen" reminds me of the verse of The Animals' "We've gotta get out of this place".
Reminiscences of "Court of the Crimson King" in "Ruinbyen". More modally I think, than in riff/melody.

Very much top-of-my-head, literal translations into English for the non-Norwegian readers. Other ideas for translations obviously welcome
Only heard the three first tracks so far, and – I like it!And now I have to work, will continue listening, and might be back with more comments.
This is just the most fascinating band! Almost thirty years with these guys and I'm still not over it.
From BS on the [url=http://http://motorpsycho.no/2019/09/memo-from-bob/]MP homepage[/url]:
"To make sure none of you will lose sleep over not getting your hands on a copy, you’ll all be able to (pre-)order your copies in the MP webshop: we have made a first print run that we think is big enough to satisfy demand, but will do another ASAP if we run out before all your needs are sated. So not to worry: everybody will get a copy eventually!"

Ah, yes – sorry if my ramblings were a bit unclear!
TITS played both 2003 and 2004. I was at 2004 and remember buying the album with the 2003-recording.
Actually, now I think about it, the 2004 show was also recorded with the intention of a possible DVD/live album of Tussler-stuff. One of many MP-projects that are yet to be fully carried out, but hopefully will be some day…
Regarding the Ringnes festival, I was lucky enough to be there the last time Motorpsycho played – as TITS (with friends?), which was absolutely amazing. 2004 I think, and charmingly quaint, diy, refreshingly free of pretense and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We drove to and from Oslo the same day, cause we were too old for that camping shit.
Main scene is the porch of the main house on the Ringnes farm. Awesome.
Would love to go again this year but was sold out so quick, and I didn't have anyone to go (by car) with. Highly recommend and those of you who have tickets should be happy!
HOWEVER,
What still excites me a lot at this point is the fact that the guys behind the festival have produced records from the last six festivals. Number 1 had live tracks from several bands, including one whole vinyl side by TITS.
And the three last instances have been concert recordings of just one band of that year's festival, So… I feel like there's at least the possibility of a "Live at Ringnes" album somewhere on the horizon…

They've done that quite regularly in Hogwash. Haven't listened to the Genova show yet, but it's been pretty common. If you think that's what it is, it most likely is
