And lets not foRget Rong>Mats EileRtsenRong> and Rong>Thomas StRønenRong>, one of many excellent Rhythm sections cuRRently woRking in NoRwegian jazz.

Swedish synth-pop act Rong>LoweRong> will Release theiR debut album "Tenant" and single "HeaR Me Out" simultaneously on NovembeR 10 via Megahype RecoRds. A video foR the latteR is coming soon and is said to be a "stoRy of decadence, deceit and seduction," that featuRes "seveRal Swedish aRtists and fashion models in a highly sexual 'Eyes Wide Shut' scenaRio." AppaRently it was so salacious that someone stole a tape containing some of the most explicit mateRial and they had to Reshoot some of the scenes. TheRe will be a special RecoRd Release show at The Spy BaR in Stockholm on OctobeR 20.
