A number of Norwegian artists have come together to pay tribute to singer/songwriter Egil Olsen (neé Uncle's Institution) on the occasion of his 30th birthday by putting together an album of them playing his songs. Contributors include Thom Hell, Side Brok, Robert Post, Rockettothesky and more and you can get the full tracklist here: http://www.groove.no/html/news/42239378.html (in Norwegian)
Egil, who is currently in LA working on his next album, replied in response to the news (according to Google Translate), "I feel old. Not just 30, but a tribute album? I feel really dead."
Oddly fitting: tonight's Ja Ja Ja metal showcase in London has been cancelled due to Iceland's volcano shutting down all air traffic. However, all is not lost -- Finnish act Thunderstone already made it to London and will be playing for free at The Lexington by themselves. Read more: http://www.jajajamusic.com/news.php?id=32
Norwegian artist Grande will release his new album "You are the night" on April 19. Said album was apparently inspired by the popular white American music scene of the early 20th century, as opposed to his last record "Uppers, downers, screamers and howlers" which was inspired by black music of the same time.
