Hi!
At the mega techno-party rounding off the Polar Music Festival here in
Tromsoe, the headline
act was the swedish band Lucky People Center. And boy, what a show they gave!
They had a full multi media package with syncronised video, customized lights
and decorations, and two percussionists. The music started slow dub-ish, and
was graduately speeding up. They sounded a bit like Underworld, very groovy
trance stuff, and those drummers kicking the hell out of plastic cans (!) and
drums. Definately one of the best techno concerts I have seen, up there with
the Orbital show at last years Quart festival. If you ever get the chance, go
check them out...
BTW: I know they have some releases out, but is there only a few singles, or
do they have an album? I'm dying to get some of their stuff!!
The Polar Music Festival techno party also featured a bunch of DJ's from Oslo
and Tromsoe, with Bjoern Torske aka Ismistik and Per Martinsen aka Mental
Overdrive giving the coolest sets. Other live acts was Pogomax and Electrip-C.
I did my first ambient DJ set, playing for 7 hours (!) at the "ambient living
room" at the top floor.
Also, Biosphere and Higher Intelligence Agency had a show at the top of a
mountain near Tromsoe with a music piece thay had written specially for that
location.
Bye,
Vidar
