Bylarm Festival

Went to snowy Oslo Norway for the Bylarm festival a few weeks ago. Here are some pics:

Erlend Oye of Whitest Boy Alive packed the house.
Christian Fennesz played an inspired set with the jazz band Food.

The singer of Fjorden Baby was so manic, I've completely forgotten what the music sounded like.



Technical metalheads Blodspor were like aural coffee.
Motorik Finns K-X-P were a festival highlight.




The Prince-like stylings of Juvelen in the tiny club Mono.
Jenny Wilson

The snappy Eurofunk of The New Wine

Gonzoid IDM with Captain Credible.
