New and old faces

Standard

Find myself in the Volda University Library. Nerd. To be honest, hiding is what I’m doing. Kind of stressful down in the school caffeteria. Love to see so many new faces coming to Volda, though it reminds me of the fact that I’m done with three years, and I’m leaving. Sad. Very, very sad. Said hi to some of my teacters in drama and theater, and music earlier today. Went inside the theater studio… Had to skip the room where all the magic happens – the costume stock – where set design are being made, all the dresses and other costumes are brought in and repaired- and. Fuck. I’ll get my stuff there later. It’s just too sad. Terribly sad – my second home – I’m leaving it. The great gods know how I love that place. Going to find a piano room in the same yellow building (named Kaarstad) tomorrow, and play a deep low minor key to the sound of Niagra Falls streaming down my mascra painted face. Buu. Cry me a river. Afterwards I’ll cheer myself up with a picture of a surfing kangaroo. I’m also utterly pleased and happy. Got my band back in Volda. Ambivalence, my middle name these days. Who’s being emo?

Official start of academic year, today that is, and with open arms I welcome the autumn semester. Just got rid off all the books and articles I needed for finishing my bachelor paper. Everyone I know here in Volda i busy at the moment. Introductory tours are led by older students for the newcomers all over school- it’s the first day for most of the classes. But for me it’s not. I still got one week of vacation. Monday 20th. Introuduction course of the AustralAsian-Studies. Have to learn some Vietnamese this week – at least some life-saving phrases, like “Yes. I like pie – don’t touch me” or something. Just kidding. I’m so excited… it’s hard to find words to describe it.


Skam is a bunch of charming and eccentric musicians – a mixture of ska, reggae, funk, rock, and jazz.

Skam is playing at Rokken Studenthus tonight. Their concert during the opening week of Volda University has grown to be a lively and atmospheric tradition. Seen them at least four times now I think.. You shold check it out if you like listening to ska music.

2nd floor. Library. I like it here. Behind rows of books shelves – in the middle of thousands of unexplored titles and adventures… Gonna find myself a new book, and maybe some new friends in it. Will be joining my fellows from VITO tonight, and some other students from the drama and music section. First I’m gonna find Oddis, and some beer.

Fatty Sunroad will do the warm up show. Bitches be crazy! Fatty Sunroad is a hard rock band localized in Volda, Norway, consisting of six strange people playing what themselves call “a musical soup with a mix of carnival attractions, punch-in-the-face attitude, and sexy under (and over) tones”(fattysunroad.com). You can read the rest of their bio here. Love & Light – Kriss.

TUNEZ TODAY: VITO/FATTY SUNROAD

VITO

Standard


From the left Paal, me, Mario, and a little bit Aleks. Split-gig VITO and Fatty Sunroad.

May 16th. Photo from our second gig ever at Det Grøne Tredet in Volda – Norway. The night we had the warm up for my beloved friends Fatty Sunroad. The crowd was amazing. I had my two best friends there, Nikko and Marielle. Insane. Couldn’t turn my head left nor right for a week after head banging and jumping around so much. VITO – I can’t wait till we get together, play around, and make music together again. Counting the days. The summer’s been to long. Get your cute, small lazy asses up here, and bring your guitars, drumsticks, and happy crazyfuck spirit. Punky sure miss you guys. Love K

Skrik

Standard

så høyt at lungene brister!

I alle fall så høyt at parykkene letter og luene danser. Jeg vil skrike. Av glede. Og av angst. Våren er her, det er det ingen tvil om. I går rulla jeg mange meter på den deilige, soltørka asfalten som kler de krunglete veiene i vakre Volda. Nå skal jeg ut igjen. Jeg og Cath skal gripe resten av dagen ute i skogen. Puste. UT. Veggene rundt meg kryper stadig nærmere. Bukter seg sakte ned over skuldrene mine. Svett dusj. Klaus. Bachelorhelvete. Skrivekrampe. Erh, sperre. Liker det ikke. I dag er det 124 dager til jeg tar fatt på ferden til kenguruland, der hvor vannet snurrer feil vei nede i doen når man trekker ned. 24 dager til bacheloren er levert. Livet, det skjer. Det skjer! Heidi er endelig i Norge igjen. Marielle skal være med meg på villmarkscamping etter at skolen er prestert. I dag har jeg til og med øvd piano. HA!

Skal forøvrig spille konsert med VITO 11. mai på Rokken, og 16. mai på Det Grøne Tredet. Sjekk ut demo på Urørt. På Tredet varmer vi opp for Fatty Sunroad.
