Motorpsycho in Jazznytt and Norway Rock Magazine
There´s a five page spread on Motorpsycho in the Norwegian jazz magazine as well as an ecstatic review from the editor. There are also interesting Top 10 albums from each member, Bent´s however goes to 11, naturally... Also there´s a pretty good six page interview in Norway Rock Magazine as well as a top, 6/6 review.
And if you don´t already know it, "Timothy´s Monster" has been voted the album to be performed at the Øya Festival in August.
Susanna and the Magical Orchestra video
The brand new, quite excellent "Someday" video can now be seen here. Check it out!
Rune Grammofon at by:Larm
The annual music business festival will take place in Oslo 18-20 February. There will be a Rune Grammofon evening at Mono on 18. February with Bushman´s Revenge and Elephant9. Elephant9 will certainly play from their brand new album, and Bushman´s Revenge will preview some new material from their excellent new album to be released in April. It will be possible to buy their LPs and CDs. Susanna and the Magical Orchestra and Supersilent also have concerts, check the Tours link for details.
On Friday 19. February there will be special instore performances from Susanna and the Magical Orchestra (16.00) and Bushman´s Revenge (17.00) at the Big Dipper record store. The artists are also available for signing of records.
Kick Ass Merchandise will have an exhibition of Motorpsycho merchandise at Royal Christiania, the festival hotel. They will also sell Motorpsycho vinyl and cds released
by Rune Grammofon, including the brand new 7".
Vinyl bonanza + Motorpsycho 7”
Because of overwhelming demand we have pressed another 300 copies of Elephant9´s great debut album. This is the same as the first edition, white vinyl and the same fantastic gatefold sleeve. Order it here.
The same goes for the Shining two-pack, 300 copies, but this time on white vinyl.
Both the original Rune Grammofon releases are included in full and the sleeve is the same as with the first edition. Order it here.
For international customers it´s smart to order these at the same time as they are just under 1 kg and will save you good money on postage. But please note that even one cd in addition will make it over 2 kg and much more expensive. The difference in postage for Norwegian customers is smaller.
Please also note that on 22. February we will release the new Elephant9 album on both CD and LP and the first Motorpsycho 7” for quite some time. This is a shorter version of X-3 (Knuckleheads In Space) b/w I.C.U (Boinganoid), an outtake from the HMF sessions, and comes in a Kim Hiorthøy picture sleeve. Please note that this little beauty comes in a limited edition of 1000 copies for the world and only on Rune Grammofon. Please don´t email us orders, these will be ignored. We will accept pre-orders soon.

Motorpsycho in Rock-a-Rolla
Look out for a very nice four pages spread and fine interview with Bent in the new issue of UK magazine Rock-a-Rolla. Plus a news flash next week that will have fans from all over trekking to Oslo this summer. Stay tuned.
Shipping update
We managed to ship all vinyl pre-orders today, the rest is up to the postman... Please don´t ask us about tracking numbers unless several days have passed.
Heavy Metal Fruit shipping
We shipped CDs on Thursday for those who only ordered this edition. The vinyl edition will be in stock in Norway on Monday, if the truck stays on the road, and we will try our very best to ship all pre-orders the same day. The delay is due to the special sleeve taking longer to manufacture than expected. The reason Stickman had some copies for their mailorder before the weekend is that the pressing plant is in Germany so the shipping distance is shorter. But I doubt Norwegian customers would get it quicker from Stickman, for the very same shipping reasons. Anyway, I believe most of you will consider it worth the wait when you see and hear it.
And before you, as you traditionally would, start by putting on Side A for a spin, please note that the etching is on Side A!
Motorpsycho pre-orders
As you will see, we now accept pre-orders on both cd and vinyl editions. We will not charge your card until your order is ready to ship. Please note that no matter what shipping date various mailorder outlets will operate with, you will get it quickest from Rune Grammofon and Stickman for the simple reason that we are the first to have it in stock. And we will have it in stock at the same time and start shipping at the same time.
End of the sale
We will end the sale we have been running since summer at the end of the year. Some of the items go back to their normal price and some will get a permant "nice price", but nowhere near the NOK 49,- tag. So if you want to get some of these titles at a very low price, this is your final chance. Please also note that the last shipping date before Christmas is Tuesday 22. December.
TLRC art prints
The very fine Cyborgic and Galore art prints, both printed in hand numbered editions of only 50, are now available. These are finer prints and much more exclusive than ordinary posters and are excellent Christmas gifts. The size is 50 x 70 and perfect for framing.
Brand new Motorpsycho in January!!!

If you pre-order both you will save a lot on postage, as we will send them in one package for the same postage as with one LP. But then we can not guarantee that you will get them by 7. August. If you only pre-order Motorpsycho we will send it out so you have it on the release date or very close to it, depending on where in the world you live.
Motorpsycho + Fire! pre-orders

If you want the vinyl edition of Fire! as well, to save postage, you may pre-order this at the same time. The postage is the same for two vinyls as for one.

The Low Frequency In Stereo

Susanna and In The Country at King´s Place in London
Unfortunately there have been som misleading information out there regarding the line-up of this concert to take place on Sunday 16. November. Please note that Susanna is performing with her regular band of Helge Sten (guitars) and Pål Hausken (drums). In The Country are Morten Qvenild (piano), Roger Arntzen (bass) and Pål Hausken (drums) and will perform mostly new material. We have seen this double bill a couple of times this year and it comes highly recommended.
Susanna´s "Flower Of Evil" available on CD now!
We´ve had a slight delay with this one, but it´s now finally available for order. The vinyl edition will be available in two weeks time, but is definitely worth waiting for. This is an excellent album from start to finish, twelve sublime cover versions and two Susanna originals with Bonnie "Prince" Billy guesting on two tracks. If you have enjoyed her previous albums, this one is a must, if you´re new to Susanna this is as good a place to start as any. Highly recommended!
