I’ll tell you right now. I’m writing based on my own personal Comic-Con adventures. So […]

Dungen - 4

October 22nd

Whereas most bands with disparate influences gradually merge them into a more consistent, unified sound, Dungen seem to be doing the opposite. Their artful, jazzy lounge-rock side is more pronounced than ever, with several tracks here showing great restraint and gorgeous arrangement: on Det Tar Tid they sound more than ever like Sweden’s answer to […]

Django Reinhardt || I’ll See You In My Dreams

October 20th

Kar Ces Brass Band in Bovec?

October 1st

Wind band Eta Cerkno will have a over-week practice in Bovec. All the members of Kar Ces Brass Band except me are permanent members of that wind band. So I will probably go there too, to have some practice with our band. We will probably have a concert-party in Saturday at night. Come on and […]
