So.. This blog hasn´t seen the light of day for months now... I´ve been extremely busy, getting a music festival running smoothly and producing my first short film. More news to follow on this new short, which is just a few weeks away from completion.

But today I reveal the Gerilja project in a new wrapping. In collaboration with Norwegian online music magazine Groove.no the project is now entitled "Rastløs". A fabulous Norwegian word that roughly translates restless.

First out we present to you Oslo-based indie-poppers Manzano with their track "yes, we can´t". A great little pop tune with obvious connotations to a presedential campaign I´m sure we´re all far too familiar with.

This edition of Gerilja is featuring one of Stavanger´s up and comming poprock singersongwriter duos. The brothers Kristian and Martin Rinde of Poor Edward gives you a little preview of what´s to come this Friday at the bands release concert of the EP titled "Soldiers and Sundays".

"Soldier on" was shot in a very intimate, yet elevating setting with lots of Poor Edward memorobilia.

For this weeks edition I thought I´d try something a little different from the first three postings.

Stavanger Vocal Ensemble is chamber choir founded in 1993. The choir consists of around 30 experienced vocal artists performing material in a wide range of genres, everything from classical to folk and jazz. The group participated in several large scale productions during Stavanger, European Capital of Culture 2008.

For this special performance in the streets of old Stavanger 21 singers presented the song "Vogel".

It seems keeping a weekly update on the Gerilja-project has proven to be a challenge.

But no matter.. This weeks video features the raw power that is the sound of Phat. A trio of guitar, drums and an agressive screamo-vocal pushing you to the ground. The song is entitled "Kid on the Barbie".

Sorry for the long wait of the enticipated second edition of Gerilja.

This week Stavanger bright and shiny new singer-songwriter hope Sebastian Waldejer is featuring his new song "On a Wedneday".
