Festival Cable#4 - Nantes

Played for the very first time in Nantes at Festival Cable#4 (17th - 19th Feb).

Really nice venue (Les Ateliers de Bitche), great soundsystem, cool audience and an amazing team will definitely stay in my memory department for a very long time.

Met some good old friends and familiar faces: Luke Younger, Thomas Ankersmit, eRikm.

Big thanks to Will Guthrie and his mates for the fantastic organisation.

One of my personal highlights on the night was Damien Schultz' spoken word performance. Absolutely breathtaking! Just him with a microphone and his lyric sheets turning into some trancelike speech-monster pacing an incredible speed with his mouth. No effects, no sampling!

Instants Chavirés

SUDDEN INFANT & JOHN DUNCAN

live in Montreuil/Paris 17th February 2011

Instants Chavirés in Montreuil, a suburb in the east of Paris, is definitely one of the best places to perform in Europe. The venue is located on a side street behind the main office and exhibition space of Instants Chavirés, just around the corner of many north african shops and restaurants, where you can eat the best cous-cous on the continent.

Review of the night (in French):

Brown Door!

SUDDEN INFANT headquarters:



Midnight, one more night without sleeping
Watching, 'til the morning comes creeping
Brown door, what's that secret you're keeping

There's an old piano and they play it hot
Behind the brown door
Don't know what they're doing but they laugh alot
Behind the brown door
I wish they'd let me in so I could find out what's
Behind the brown door

Adapted after Bob Davie & The Cramps (Green Door)

Oslo - All Ears Festival

Har du sett Sverdrup?

Had a great weekend in Oslo. Played two shows at All Ears festival, visited the Emanuel Vigeland mausoleum, Frogner park, Neseblod record shop and tried not to spend too much money in one of the most expensive cities in the world!
Thanks to Guro Moe, Lasse Marhaug and Paal Nilssen-Love for organizing this fantastic festival.
