Can you provide any more info and/or references? According to the gigography on the official website they never played in Norway.

I think I will try to see if I can buy a ticket outside. Still, if somebody is selling a single ticket I would love to buy it for a good price.

After waiting forever (something was obviously wrong) some person eventually announced that one of the band members was ill and being treated by a doctor. A little later we were told there would actually be a concert, and after 20 more minutes the show was on! During the intro Chris told the audience that the entire band had been suffering from food poisoning the last couple of days, and politely apologized for starting late. Rather short set this time, most likely because of the circumstances. Never the less they performed a pretty good show. Ben and Chris were energetic as usual. Andrew was absolutely into it, but hardly spoke at all between the songs. Sound was low as expected, but acceptable where I was standing at least. The highlight for me was surprisingly enough Summer, while Arms was (not so surprisingly) the weakest track.

Afterhours Intro
Crash & Burn

Train/Detonation Boulevard
Alice
Flood I

I wonder what it was the whole band/crew ate (at least 2 of them are vegetarian :?) They appear to have left out Vision Thing, Anaconda and F&L&A from the set. Let's hope they are reinstated for tomorrow's show... :wink:

Indeed, they did not play those track. Never the less, after having been at cologne before, the sound was actually _great_. really. maybe it's really location dependant, but I could hear andrew singing AND the band play nicely.

Any sisters person still in oslo on saturday? Zeromancer are playing in a venue belonging to the sentrum scene :-)

OH right, I did not meet any of you people, but I was wearing that St. Pauli Shirt shirt, and will wear it again at the zeromancer concert.

and gastro is viral and can be transmitted through the air or by touch, so it doesnt mean it was something they all ate together...

If you eat fish, you're a 'pescetarian'...

And if you're me, you'll eat anything that can't run faster than you can - and some that do. :wink:

Eeeeyah, tell me about it - it ran through my old troupe (dancers and musos alike) like a house on fire once. (We're a hopelessly huggy, kissy, drink-your-beer-for-you lot...) I have never been so sick in my entire life - and I did not make the show the following day, as I looked like death on roller skates, and felt worse. :urff:

Anyone attempting to perform after that is a trouper indeed. :eek:

I´m sorry if I state old news, but what the band had was gastroenteritis. They´re now feeling better, but it´s spreading across the crew now...

Apparently they were close to cancelling the gig in Oslo, had it not been for the 2 doctors who gave them god-knows-what.

And they left out the mentioned three songs because they're the most energetic.

Funnily enough Eggi had similar problems... :urff:
