... That was until I discovered Busdriver.
Just checked out his newest record, Jhellie Beam and my first impression was his impressing word count. Must be something like a 500 words per minute... After giving it a few more tracks I also realized that this guy has got i going on on a whole new level.
Weird fast-paced "lyrics" mixed up with beats and rhytms closer to electro-pop then the commerce hip-hop bullshit you hear on the radio every fucking day. This is how rap music should have sounded like... Fresh and interesting.

Follow Sebastian through his visit and preperations for a gig at Lindøy festival 7. June 2009. Lindøy is a small island just outside of Stavanger, which every year opens it´s green grass fields for a day of music and fun, hopefully in the sun... Unfourtunately the sun decided to cut it´s visit short this year, resulting in a few problems for Sebastian.

It´s always hard to do a full live set with rain getting all over your guitar...

4 stages, 40 bands, 8 hours.
Musikkfest was a marathon showcase of local talent in Stavanger.

I spent a whole day in the sun, with music surrounding me at every corner. I´m happy to say it´s one of the better days I´ve ever spent in the city of Stavanger. Great event guys, keep the fire burning next year as well.

Featured in this video: Jackman, Pål Asle Pettersen / Anders Gjerde, Christer Wulff and Jakob Håkon Band.
