This
was the Mantric Muse CD release party and ØSC were nicely added to the bill so
we could reunite the early line up of ØSC. The doors opened early and it was
free entrance and the band provided a
lot of snacks and free beers on all the tables to get the party started. It was
so great to see some people I had not seen in years and many of the people who
used to come out and support the band. This was their first real concert since
2006. Some of the old Mantric Muse
members were also here. It was a great party but the band was delayed in
starting as the people who were going to do the projections bailed out and they
had to hunt down a projector and do our old school visuals with G-Force and a
laptop. The projector did not arrive until 22:30 and by the time it was up and
running it was nearly 23 so a quite late start. Mantric Muse played the entire
new LP in order except they stuck an older song, Mystsic Union (in quite a new
version) before Deep Sea Cheops. The new synthesizer player Ola (Bland Bladen,
ØSC, Derango, Hofoot etc..) it was his first gig ever playing Mantric Muse
songs and he is exactly the person they have needed all these years. The band
sounded fantastic and also tagged some jams into the ends of several of the
songs. The place was pretty filled up and people really dug the show. They had
only one more song to play called Arm. The set was about 105mins.
After
about 35mins, ØSC was ready to fly with all the Mantric Muse guys on board plus
Ola and Sebastian (both from Bland Bladen) and myself. This was the original
line up that played the first OSC shows here in Dragens Hule back in 2005 and
also recorded the first two records. Mogens would join in here and there on the
Fender Rhodes as well. We played about an hour long set and then we changed the
more recent ØSC line up with Jiri on Bass, Birk on drums, Nick on the guitar.
Ola and I stayed on. We have two long jams and then PIB, who also has not
played drums with us in nearly 2 years joined at the end. What a night but it
was after 4 in the morning when Sebastian and I packed our stuff up and headed
out. The rest actually kept on jamming until like 5:30 in the morning I was
told. Far out.. A fantastic night and Mantric Muse is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
