    Hmm... what can I write about a Cloroform concert? I mean, except that it was really weird, but really really great anyway, of course... =;-)

    It was perfect timing that Cloroform played in Tromsø the night before Skambankt played there - so I finally got to see them again. And I was really curious how the concert would be. Mostly because I'm really not the person who enjoys concerts that are fully improvised - and after the last tour Cloroform said that they wanted to get back "to the roots" a bit, which means the concerts would become even more "chaotic", without setlist and with lots of room for free improvisation.

    But no, that wasn't really the case, at least in my opinion. In the beginning, the first few minutes were very... uhm... "experimental", but then it got better and better. …

    "Will you play only in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger next time, or will there be more concerts?" - "Oh, there will be more!"

    Not sure if it was actually planned at that time that the other concerts would be in Tromsø, Alta and Hammerfest... But when I heard that, it really got me laughing. My first thought was: "Now they went completely crazy!" Second thought: "I gotta go there. Can't miss out on that!"

    Said and done. I hadn't been to Northern Norway before, so that was a great opportunity for a short trip up north. And actually, Cloroform played in Tromsø the night before Skambankt, so that fit together perfectly. Two days of vacation in Tromsø, two nights with great concerts, and lots of Norwegian conversation inbetwetween. Thanks so much to Lena and Suzanna for great company!

    But now to the Skambankt concert. The place was tiny, with a slightly improvised stage crammed into one corner. …
