Permalink Norway's KÃ¥re & The Cavemen reunite for Link Wray tribu

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Hello.

This was on the web-edition of one of Norway's biggest newpapers some days ago.

Check it out here:
http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2006/05/24/467094.html

You can also see a videoclip from the show there. COOOOLLL! Some might recognise the lead guitarist - he also plays lead guitar in Turbonegro.

And beacuse I have nothing do, I've translated the article to english:-)

<u>Article:</u>

_KÃ¥re & the Cavemen played on a secret concert in Oslo wednesday night.
This happened during a Link Wray tribute-concert on “Gamla” in Oslo. Kåre & The Cavemen had not played together since 2000. The concert on “Gamla” var a onetime gig to honour Wray who died november last year.

Back to basic
-Together with Dick Dale, Link Wray was the guitarist that in many ways launched Kåre & The Cavemen, said Steinar Kallander (Gamla’s booking agent) to dagbladet.no before the concert. The band would not comment on the reunion. Kåre & The Cavmen var founded at Harestua in 1990 and became a part of the norwegian garagerock-underground in the early 90’s. Connections to NRK (norwegian broadcasting company), with radiojingles on Petre (one of the stations at NRK) and studio performances on Anne Kat Hærland’s show “Direkte Lykke”, spread the bands reputation over the entire nation.
The debut album was “Jet Age” (surf album) and then “A Long Days Flight ‘Till Tomorrow” (not surf, but instrumental. More lounge), before the band gradually became The Euroboys (almost strictly pop) with a new lineup. At the same time, guitarist Knut Schreiner spent more time with Turbonegro.

Banned
Also on stage wednesday night were some of Norway’s best guitarists like Robert Burås from Madrugada, Vidar Busk, Petter Baarli from the Backstreet Girls, willy b, and of course Knut Schreiner.
The documentary “Rumble Man” was also shown.

-He has ment a lot to many of Norway’s rockguitarists. Many has copied his way of making music, Steinar Kallander said, and mentiones as an example the guitarsound that became “public property” after movies like Pulp Fiction and Desperado. -It says a lot that his instrumental hit from 1958 – Rumble – was banned on radio._

I saw them live years ago opening for Gallon Drunk and Rocket From The Crypt in England. They were 10 times better than the other 2 bands.
The albums were released under the Euroboys name, and not as written in the article.
Thanks for posting,
Ran

The Scimitars

Ran's observation is correct. Outside of Norway, KÃ¥re & The Cavemen were released as The Euroboys. When the lineup changed (KÃ¥re actually left the band) they became the Euroboys overall. A bit of trivia there.

Thanks for clarifying.
Was KÃ¥re the guy playing a tambourine and jumping around on stage?

The Scimitars

Knut Schreiner (aka "Euroboy" from Turbonegro) is an outstanding guitarist: I love his work in Turbonegro, The Euroboys, and Kare & the Cavemen.

the Euroboys/ Kare & Cavemen cd "Jet Age" is a particular favorite of mine.

That DD cover in the video is awesome. I think Kare was playing drums--not sure who the percussionist was.

What DP said about "Jet Age." "Long Days Flight 'Til Tomorrow" has some cool stuff too, but it's definitely not surf.

-Warren

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.

KÃ¥re is playing drums.

The guy on percussion is Anders Møller. Dag Gravem on bass and Per Øydir on keyboards.

You should have seen these guys in action on the tv-show they were on. Oh man. That rocked!!!!

Edit: I almost forgot. You can check that show out here:

They kick in with Hava Nagila after about 45 seconds in the first clip, and they come in once in a while after that. If the show itself seems to be silly, it is supposed to Very Happy
