Ungdomskulen @ Hove Festival

heres u.s doing an acoustic version of modern drummer for norwegian tv-show called lydverket.
håvard eliassen is playing saxomophone and two of our tent-neighbours joined in on percussion.

work in progress

good people!
do we have some news for you!
ungdomskulen are working on our sophmore record, and it is going really well.
we have 4 tracks as good as down, and we started just 2 weeks ago.
there will be a slow song on this record, maybe we can be so bold to even call it a ballad, but apart from telling you that, we are very secretive about it, our little gem, $ in the hat.
we are planning to release it in febuary 2009.
so be patient for chrissake!
we don´t have a working title for it, but if anyone has any ideas just hit us with it.
either here or there.
in the meantime...
here´s a picture of us taking a break from rocking out!

new york

in this day and age its no biggie to have been in new york.

i remember my childhood friend mattias who went to florida with his family when we were 10years old.

it was pretty damn cool and i was impressed as hell when he came back with american candy and a miami dolphins cap.

but i guess it isnt really cool to be impressed these days.

i mean the echo of the 90s slacker-attitude lingers on, at least in the world of pop-rock(HAHAHAHA).

but we want to change that, and try to bring some enthusiasm back into the game.

so listen up, we were in new york, and it was mindblowing!

we went shopping, played shows for real newyorkans, we saw breakdancers on an underground-station.

we went hipster-spotting in williamsburg(they were everywhere!), we rode yellow cabs, we went to eat at the "seinfeld-diner", and we crossed the brooklyn bridge a hundred times.

we were totally amazed and knocked flat, and we feel really blessed about the XP.

and we love new york and cant wait to go back.

and to us its a really big deal, and for those of you who hasnt been, just go!

its amazing!

here´s the proof:

NYNOISE.TV | UNGDOMSKULEN

kids say the darndest things!

i guess we have alot of work to do, cause judging by this video
new york kids doesnt have alot a love for ungdomskulen.
we have some love for them though for being so frank and child-like in their harsh critisism.
here´s what they had to say about our video "modern drummer".
check it out!

everyone who are something is on tv.

when we were in los angeles,usa we did what everybody who goes to hollywood tries so hard to do.
we got on tv.
not only that we make our first tv-apperance ever,we got to do it on nobel peace prize winner al gore´s channel "current tv".

so this is what happened.
we came in good time to the studio and was escorted into a nice waiting room with a kick-ass leathercouch.
there was contemporary art on the walls and a big shiny black table filling the room, decorated with all sorts of exotic fruits and the most delicious italian sandwiches we´ve ever put our scandinavian eyes on.
and so we decided to check the fridge, and to our big amazement it was filled with imported beers, of which we instantly got our hands on.
so it was 13.00 and we were doing our first tv-apparance and we are getting good and tipsy.
can it get any better?
mmm-hmmm!

it was time to get some tv-makeup on.
there were two lovely ladies who painted our faces, and we requested to get whiskers and eyeshadow, and black noses.
they couldnt believe it,-you are going on tv, and you wanna look like cat drag-prostitues, they asked us.
well, it took some convincing but that was what we wanted.
so they did a marvelous job on us and we got three different eye-shadow colors.
just like t.m.n.t or kiss even, you know having your own color and all.
we felt sooooo good!
then we went and represented.

here we are now with the tv-host, im sorry but i cant remember his name, lets call him splinter.

also, check out the hollywood hills in the background, mezmerizing!

what if...

...we were more like GWAR?

well, then our logo would probably look more like this.

thanks to joey for making and sending this to us!
