PIB´s Farewell Party- Loppen, Christiania Nov 26th, 2025


Peter IB, played drums with ØSC from 2007 to 2012, almost full time and he played now and again until 2015… Sadly, PIB lost his battle with cancer. There was a funeral earlier in the day but this was a dinner for close friends and musicians and 3 musical acts. It started with a nice speech and then Sorte Per started things off with a 50 min set of original music. PIB had played with all these guys in different jams, and bands before as well. It was all sung in Danish and some great and funny songs..


Vionysos Skål, Par og Per, Ca Drømme, Tagernes Høj!, tak skal du há, ?, Business Blues, I mi hjælpe mig, En Hvildes Ballale

Music for Hearts, a duo wtih Thomas Thor played a short set of 18mins or so and a lot of small speeches about PIB..  Everyone had a good story to tell…

There was a long break now for nearly 3hrs and then ØSC played at 21… It was so smokey inside that I could not be in Loppen anymore so stood outisde the entrance where there was som good air and talked to who ever came by…

ØSC was: Me, Mogens, Mattias, Mikkel and Jiri in the first set.  We did like 2 jams and I told a bit of a story about PIB in the middle for a few mins.  It was too smokey and I was really suffering so I had to leave but the guys played some more with Lasse on Bass afterwards-.

A special evening for sure… No one will ever forget PIB….
