Just a quick word to establish that we are still around, if you haven’t noticed most of the activity is focused on our MySpace site.
We are working on a new album, but it won’t be out there until early next summer.

Meanwhile we have a brand new track out on October 6. It is a cover of the late St. Thomas (aka Thomas Hansen) track Last Word for a tribute album released by Racing Junior. More info on the tribute project here (Racing Junior) and on the site of the St. Thomas Memorial Trust (up next month).

We play Pavilion in Oslo tonight, our only full gig in our home town this year.
If all goes well, we’ll post a vid of Anja singing ‘Silent Night’. Honestly.

The above is a picture from Marrakech, Marocco on Sunday night. Just back from holiday there.
Reminds me slightly about the ‘For Sleepyheads Only’ album sleeve photo…

Below, the new flyer for the Flunkschool club night. The November edition was cancelled due to common cold,
I’ll try again on December 6 at the Pavilion café in Oslo.

And remember we do a full Flunk gig at the same venue on Friday December 14.
Also, the remix album ‘Democracy’ is out now on iTunes and other digital services. It will also be out on old fashioned compact disc, if you prefer the material world! It’s good value in any case, 16 tracks, 16 different mixes.

And - oh - do remember to buy the new Burial album. Probably the best album this decade - still!

From Thursday November 15 I will be playing music at Pavilion in Oslo one Thursday every month.
The downbeat/leftfield/crackleblues ‘club’ will be called Flunkschool, and will take place one Thursday every month.
Should be good fun, not Donna Summer and Lipp’s Inc. - but good music. Probably some new Flunk tracks every now and then, too.

The remix album ‘Democracy’ still has November 12 as official digital release. It will be out on CD as well, it turns out. Stay posted
for release date.

Here is a brand new remix of ‘Morning Star’ track ‘Blind My Mind’. It’s one of the band’s favourite song ever, I think.
Listen to the mix at Kohibs MySpace page - he is one of the guys who did a remix of ‘Morning Star’ as Parliavox a couple of years ago.

And here’s another: An electro mix of ‘Blue Monday’! Download mp3 here (it’s 9min long - 12,8 MB).
The mix is done by ‘dkay’.

The above is from an interview with the guy behind Burial, and it should be a song title.
His self-titled debut album was great, next month his second album is due. He’s probably the best band in the world.
Check out a Kode 9 mix of teasers from the new album here.
Or read the full “I’m not some ice cold fretless bass playing psychopath” interview here.

Someone obviously had a camera on their mobile on our gig in Bydgoszcz on Saturday.
Enjoy - I wouldn’t know the quality, since I tend not to have great enjoyment in watching myself in motion.

The concert was great, though. 700+ people and good fun. Thanks a lot to all our Polish fans. We were really, really impressed!
