I have but one question? when are you coming back!
The Norwegian band Hellbillies brought love and energy into the room and who can even think about complaining about that. From the start everybody was singing along and slow dancing with their loved ones when they performer their beautiful song 'den finaste eg veit'. The gentle song allowed for all to reminisce and let all their tension evaporate and return as joy and love.
Mastering Country Rock and being from a place other than the Southern States of North America, just goes to show that these fellas must know what they're doing and this is why they stand out and are of such high acclaim and of major success!
Their accolades of being signed to EMI and releasing thirteen albums says everything that words could never say and the chords they play, represent all they stand for.
Audience interaction is a large part of this bands performance, at one point even getting the crowd to raise their mobile phones in the air while on the light setting, and just waving them gently around as if to represent a thousand fires burning bright, in undisturbed harmony.
The Hellbellies are a great discovery and amazing hosts for all to enjoy.
I honestly can’t tell whether studying at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts is at all helpful for an up and coming singer-songwriter. On a positive note, it opens up comparisons to Paul McCartney, one of the academy’s founders who’s been known to give one to one songwriting lessons (Mat Murphy from The Wombats was a notable recipient of one of these), on the downside, it opens up comparisons to Paul CHUFFING McCartney of all people. It takes a hell of a songwriter to live up to them and one hell of a performer to do the same. However, we have an example of both of those in Jonas Alaska, whose brand of sun kissed folk rock is a blissful live experience. Performing live with a band that seems born to play together, this is a performance that is extremely lyrically based, with Alaska’s storytelling skills pushed to the forefront. It’s a difficult kind of live show to pull off and still remain exciting, but Alaska and his band achieve it with style. It may not be the most noisy and visceral rock and roll spectacular on offer but it doesn’t have to be, it’s a celebration of his songs and that’s more than enough to make a show of his totally unmissable.
