Norwegian Bands!

So many good Norwegian bands! We saw Datarock last night & it was fun fun. I only have pictures from the first song, because we were too busy dancing for me to take more. They did dance routines, let me & this other girl play the maracas & these two guys play a cow bell in tandem. The last song was a sing-a-long of the theme song from Dirty Dance - I think it's "I've had the time of my life". A couple of them got into the audience & danced & they let people on stage to dance, too (or maybe the crowd overtook the stage? Can't recall.) Bulldozer!

The two opening bands we saw were neat, too; Honeycut from San Francisco & Foreign Born from LA. The drummer from Honeycut was very awesome in that Jason & I got to talking to him out side & he gave us his drink tickets. What a sweet sweet man. Since we didn't take a cab and just say no to drinkin' & a drivin', we only used one of the tickets and gave the others away to people who were really getting into the bands; dancing & such. Would have used more tickets, but when I tried to use some for a Coke & a water, the bartender just gave them to us for free. Really, it was a Cinderella rock n roll evening. Nice people abound!
The other pictures are from another Norwegian band we saw a year ago in LA. Lots of fun, too, if you like your Rock mixed w/ some household appliance smashing.

Hurra Torpedo - fall 2006






There was a hair band that opened for Hurra Torpedo, but also a pretty neat LA band called Gram Rabbit. They threw bunny ears into the audience. Jason snagged me one. We gave it away w/ a bunch of other stuff to the Venice Out-of-the-Closet when we moved. Jason said before he had finished unloading the boxes to give to them, a girl walked out of the store wearing the bunny ears. - fall 2006

Also, Datarock just started their US tour, so you may get a chance to still see them. Go!
