Just thought I'd send an e-mail because it's been a bit quiet on Velvet Station lately - I was beginning to think that you'd lost this address or something. No, I don't have any more Velvet Belly news at the moment (do you though?), but there have been a lot of Vikings in London lately ....Elin for one (have you recovered from the garlic experience at Broderna Svensson in Soho yet???) .....oh, and our Bergenser friends, Poor Rich Ones. After charming all the record industry people in the U.S., they came back to conquer London again this week. They played an amazing gig last night supporting Icelandic girl band Bellatrix, and then in true Viking fashion, we went out and partied until very, VERY late (Tina, does this sound a little familiar?). Word of PRO's and Bellatrix's brilliance is spreading fast - several other bands came to see them play last night, including 3 of the band members from The Cure! Oh, if only Velvet Belly had been there too.... So, what's the news from your part of the world? What's playing on your stereo? Which bands have you been to see lately? Are you going to any of the festivals this summer? If you're going to Quart in Velvet Belly's home town of Kristiansand (down by the ocean), I'll see you there :) In the meantime, have a great Easter - I'm going home now to catch up on my sleep before the next Vikings invasion. - Philippa ------------------------------ End of velvet-station-digest V2 #18 ***********************************
