Skin Sofa moving ahead at full speed!

Massive Skin Sofa activity! We played two very successful gigs in Austria (Innsbruck and Kufstein), bought band gear, got our CD, had a photoshooting, shot a video (coming to youtube soon - meanwhile, look at clips from the Kufstein gig!), and another gig ahead at "Kroa Absolutt Hyggelig" (Fagerstrand, Nesodden) on 11 August! Yee-haw!

I missed Zigaboo!

Can you believe it? According to this video, Zigaboo Modeliste played in Rockefeller, Oslo, on 30.07.2010... which means that I already lived here, yet I missed it?! How could I???  I must follow concert listings more closely from now on.

Here's another cool New Orleans related video: Erykah Badu, playing with Zigaboo and some others...

Several gigs ahead

In addition to the Magneten gig on 9 March at 21:00, Skin Sofa will play at the Emergenza Festival, in Revolver, Oslo, on 8 March. The event starts at 19:00, we'll be on stage at 21:00. On 16 March, we'll play at the Innflytningsfest of Realistforeningen, in Vilhelm Bjerknes Hus on Blindern Campus, Oslo - guess when?? Yeah, at 21:00 ... easy to remember! Just avoid making plans at 21:00 in general, from now on, to be able to see our gigs :-)

On 9 December at 21:00 we'll play at the legendary Elm Street Rock Cafe in Oslo, as a support act for the release concert of Kongefamilien - this is one of the last gigs before they shut down the place!

I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

VOGS @ Cafe Kaos, Oslo, on 30 June 2010

Don't miss this!

Emergenza: we made the first round!

Yee-ha! Skin Sofa passed the first round of the Emergenza Festival band competition, which means that we'll get to play in John Dee, Oslo, on 15th of April. Come there and vote for us! :-)

New recordings

Recently, I was in the studio with Jostein and Viktoria, to record two of her songs. Since this happened in only one morning, we ended up doing an almost live recording, with practically no fixes afterwards. The first two songs on the VOGS page ("Without a reason" and "The birds") are the result.

Also, the Skin Sofa gig in Skuret is just ahead - Wednesday 24 February, evening. Apparently Skuret streams their concerts live via their website, maybe you can see us play from your home, via your browser!

Some gigs ahead!

With VOGS in Garage on 9 February, with Skin Sofa in Skuret on 24 February, and Skin Sofa again at the Emergenza Festival in the 17-20 March time period (exact day to be determined)

UiO computer science is doing great and Santa is a punkrocker, also in China!

Okay, one by one. First of all, as I keep telling everyone, I'm proud and happy to be a part of the University of Oslo's computer science institute. I had the impression that things are just great there, but now it's officially confirmed: the University of Oslo reached position 65 in the worldwide "Shanghai ranking", and computer science reached position 49, next to Politecnico di Torino and TU München. Wow! :-)

Skin Sofa has updated its myspace page for Christmas! Check it out, to listen to the Christmas song that we made, Santa is a punkrocker! Listen to the whole song because there's a surprise part towards the end!

Finally, today, we received the folder for a CD that will be released in China... check it out:


We're song number two.
