Just like She Keeps Bees, The Burning Hell weren’t a disappointment. The Canadian indie band is heavily dependent on the frontman, Matthias Kom’s highly ironic, entertaining, but well thought-thought lyrics. The band started with a standard chit-chat with the audience and kept on communicating with them throughout the whole concert. Mainly, Kom was explaining or commenting on the songs that [...]
The Cardigans were supposed to be Bukta’s greatest star, but ended up as the biggest disappointment. My excitement over seeing the Cardigans live was as short-termed as an attention span of a four year old. I do have to admit that I have a bit of a problem with the band. On one hand, I do enjoy some [...]
Wolfmother showed that rock and roll is truly not dead. Everything was bringing the atmosphere of 70’s: from guitar riffs to the way the musicians looked on the 21st of July at Telegrafbukta. For such a Wolfmother-ignorant as the undersigned, the fact that the band was formed in year 2000 was a true shock. There was even an incense [...]
It turned out that Norgren couldn’t offer much more than at his last year’s concert. If you were at Bukta a year ago you may remember the great Daniel Norgren’s concert at Little Henrik Stage. One year later the artist came back to the festival to play on a bigger stage – Paradis Bukta. The singer-songwriter plays melodic blues [...]
A good thing sometimes doesn’t need much more than a single drum to blow away the audience… Jessica Larrabee keeps bees. (Alle bilder tatt av: Barbara Lesz) One could think that The Little Henrik stage is a substitute bench of sorts. However, because of its interesting choice of artists, one can expect unique experiences. One such experience was [...]
Jeg deler ikke den store fasinasjonen for Sivert Høyem som soloartist, og jeg direkte misliker låta Moon Landing og mener den beste tiden var for 6 år siden med albumet Exiles, men hatten tas av denne kvelden, for Sivert Høyem kan det å spille på en scene. Selv om Høyems kvaliteter kom best til syne når han sto ved siden [...]
Rival Sons er for de uinformerte (journalisten selv inkludert) et band fra L. A som kom til kalde Tromsø for å besøke en fanskare med overraskende stor størrelse. Bandet har på de fire årene de har eksistert klart å nå langt over sine egne landegrenser. Bandet kom i 2008 med et selvutgitt album med tittel Before The Fire der [...]
With many still reeling and hung-over in their beds from last night’s jammed-packed schedule of concerts, the free Saturday afternoon line-up of acts brought a decidedly, more family-oriented sub-set of the population. Parents brought kids as young as ankle-biters, who crawled and lurched across the stages at Bukta wearing heavy-duty ear protection to protect their undeveloped aural senses from the [...]
The boys are back in town! And by ‘town’, I mean Tromsø and not so much ‘back’ as this is their first visit to the Paris of the North. But we are nevertheless over the moon that they deigned to play here. Well done Bukta for booking them. And the band did not phone it in just because we are [...]
Following from Thin Lizzy, a lesser known band, this time out of the US, took the stage at Telegrafbukta and completely changed the atmosphere. From hard rocking 70s to slightly folk, but nonetheless timeless, Americana, the Jayhawks came on just as the audience pit started reaching some semblance of capacity. Though despite an abrupt change in tempo and style, the [...]
