Julie Forchhammer from Norwegian management company Bpop responds to Edith Backlund's accusations that she was discriminated against (see m/index.php?story_id=981">this post from last week):

The truth is: Elvira Nikolaisen had to cancel the Debaser show on very short notice. Bpop never considered putting on any replacement act, as there were already three bands on the line up. I don't know why Edith Backlund thought that she would play instead of Elvira. I guess maybe some of the Swedes she work with, got a bit eager when they heard Elvira had to cancel? Vidar Vang, Real Ones and Jim Stärk has nothing at all to do with this.
