This
was one of the rare ØSC gigs in Denmark outside of Copenhagen. We had never
played in Roskilde. The club was a pretty cool place a bit like Dragens hule
but on the grounds of an old place called the Paramount, that has had live
music in Roskilde since the early 70s. It has been a kind of punk rock place
for the last many years but some of the young locals are trying to turn it into
a cool underground place like Dragens Hule.. We were happy to come out and
play.
A
Danish psychedelic trio called A Tree of Night from Helsingør opened the show.
They have one album out on the Orpheus record label. They arrived 3hrs late so
it was a bit rushed getting them set up and getting them to play before it was
too late. They played a very cool set with tracks from the LP and some new
material. I really enjoyed their set of acoustic guitar (often with some cool
effects), electric guitar (Gibson SG) and a guy who played hand drums, beat box
and other percussive instruments. Cool songs.
Set List: Wake, Overtone, Candidate,
Desert, Murder, Vulture, Somewhere, Tree, Call, Raga
We
hit the stage about 22:45, I think and played one long 140min set. This was the
first time that Paw (Highway Child) and Birke (Univerzals) had ever played with
ØSC. The combination of Nicklas (Papir) and Paw was great. Lots of long solos
and giving lots of space for MOgens and I as well. Jiri and Birke just were
great on the rhythm section. A few really Hawkwind like passages and also rock
and roll and pink Floyd elements. A great concert. Thanks to Anders for making
the great sound. Fun night. You can see one video below and also hear the
entire show at the link below.
