for markus

allright everyone of you!
we´re back, its a weird thing having a blog it´s almost like a friend that
you really like to hang out with for a while, and then like a fading trend you just
throw that glowstick away, untill you pick up where you left it and think it´ll glow forever.

anyways,
so camp ungdomskulen is doing well, we are located in a new practice-space/studio
after the nasty fire, and we have slowly started to work on new songs.
or a song.
we have a 7"-single coming out in europe this fall, its a single for idunno with a previoulsy unreleased gem for the b-side, we´ll tell you more about that as things are ready and steady.
the cover-photo is mindbending, you´ll see.
its really one for the collectors.

so,last weekend we played a festival located in the longest fjord in the world or something, at least its the deepest, anywho,.. the festival is located in the most amazing sorroundings, and the festival well it was called fresn.
its an old friend and sometimes stage-saxomofonist for u.s that runs it, and while going there we also got to see a live reindeer and a waterfall that´s on the unesco herritage list, its like the 600 wonders of the world or something, we drank water coming from the mountains like goats and were free-spirited and loose.
let us show you...

this used to be our playground

early sunday morning the 7th of sebtember, skuteviksbodene 13 burned to the ground.
leaving ungdomskulen and 40 other bergen based bands without rehearsal-rooms.
not only that but countless of instruments,gear and personal stuff were vaporised in
the intense flames.
fortunately no-one was hurt!
its a tragedy, but there is hope!
money is raised and people are helping each other!

hallo trutnov!

wedding thrashers

being a band with no restrictions as far as playing-ground goes, ungdomskulen performed their most leftfield gig to date, at a wedding.
we didnt play covers mind you, we let the groom pick from our hardhitting back catalogue of prog-punk jams.
it wasnt any wedding though, it was a really nice, sweet wedding, with hints of greek passion and poetic grandeur of past times.
we where a little nervous at our arrival(we were afraid that we´d ruin the whole wedding and everyone would hate us) but when we left we had been part of
limbo-dancing, dancer-in-the-ring and a bona fide moshpit(some wedding).
we were all alittle touched,tired, in love with life and red-cheeked, all according to protocol.

here we are now with the beautiful bride and groom, oda and leiv otto
