Finding black metal in Norway
Black metal is serious business in Norway. Even though you may not be able to tell the difference between a metalhead wearing corpse paint and a Siberian Husky, it’s obvious that they do mean business.
Way Out West 2024
I believe this is my 10th visit to the Way Out West festival, or something like that. Time flies when you have mud on your boots. So what’s up in the forest this year?
Way Out West 2022
Due to the pandemic, this is the first Way Out West to be held in three years time. Last time was 2019 which featured a lot of rain and not too many exciting bands (at least according to this old grumpy).
Way Out West 2019
Here we go again for another year at Way Out West. I think it’s the 8th time I visit the festival and it’s getting a bit predictive, but there were a few new additions to explore.
Henry Rollins travel show in Copenhagen
I had the pleasure of attending the Travel Slideshow Tour by Henry Rollins. The venue was DR Koncerthuset, a nice building in the Ørestad area of Copenhagen.
Depeche Mode bar in Riga
There are several bars related to Depeche Mode around the globe. The Depeche Mode Baar in Tallinn is probably one of the better known, together with the bars in Saint Petersburg and Moscow. But the one in the capital of Latvia is a true gem for devotees.
Way Out West 2018
So here we are again at Way Out West. For each year I’m starting to feel more like the old men Statler and Waldorf in The Muppet Show. I’m getting older and the bands booked are getting a bit less interesting.
Club Metropolis in Copenhagen
I’ve spent the weekend in Copenhagen, visiting the 25 year anniversary celebration of Club Metropolis. The club started in 1993 at Barbue, a venue located on the first floor of Huset KBH at Rådhusstræde 13.
Way Out West 2017
After the rain havoc last year, I prepared for the worst and went muttering on the tram towards this year’s edition of Way Out West.
Terminus festival in Calgary
Despite being placed in the middle of nowhere, Calgary is an unexpected gem with a lot to offer. As I walked across the bridge over Bow River, I realized just how compact the city center is.
