Nils Bech is on everyone's tongue these days. The talented young electropop artist from Norway has just released his debut album, Look Back. Electropop might not sound like the best genre to do an acoustic version of, but mr. Bech and sax player Bendik Giske took the challenge and played a beautiful version of the song Curious Love.

My debut as a director, the short film Daggry, has finally reached it´s completion. The story was written by myself and Preben Simonsen and was produced with funds from Filmkraft Rogaland. We shot the film in November last year, and the last few months have been spent on post-production. An amazing team of dedicated actors and film workers have made this a wonderful experience and I can´t wait for everyone to catch the full film.

I'm proud to present one of Australia's greatest pop artists at this week's Rastløs. Sarah Blasko swept across the down under continent last year with the release of her second album As day follows night. Now she's getting ready to lay Europe beneath her feet with beautiful indiepop melodies and a characteristic voice. Blasko played at last weeks Fanzine 12th release party at Internasjonalen, and we met up with her a few hours before the show.

Noise rockers Times New Viking payed Oslo a little visit this easter to promote their quite exclusive Scandinavian only release. A 7" in only 500 copies entitled No Time No hope. The Rastløs track is actually not from this 7", but none the less is an excellent noisy DIY-sounding song and is as always presented in an exclusive acoustic version. Get ready for Teenage Lust!
