The "Sessions" concept with TST has been a lot of fun, where we invite different artists from Bergen to improvise with us - check some videos in our blog.

In January some exciting things happened, both playing a bit of solo - recording it in a large factory-like place in Bergen, recording a rockin' album with a new trio coming up, and making new music with Vanilla Riot at STEIM in Amsterdam.
We also made a new demo, which you can see in my "pictures" section.
Roel Van Doorn made some amazing live visuals for this, incorporating particles flying across us while we play, and an angry little mini-strobe, together with Bostjan Simon's cameras on the stage.
In addition he uses an infared camera to pick up the stage, using an infared light... Insanely wicked stuff, that we will perform at the Borealis Festival on the 25th of March.
We can't wait! Also, their theme this year is "Tripping", which is of course perfect for us ;-)

In february we're finally releasing the Velkro album "The Future of The Past" on a great little label in Norway called Pling Music. It's been a looong wait, and since we all live in different countries, it's been quite a challenge to put it together. We're all very happy with how it turned out, also with such a beautiful cover! Since it's been a while since we last headed out, we're now planning on an extensive release tour during 2011 in Norway, Portugal and Slovenia!

In the end of March we're also mixing the new Krachmacher album, and planning tours in Norway and abroad.
1st of March The Sweetest Thrill is playing with Richard Myklebust (guitar) and Njål Clementsen (guitar) from The Megaphonic Thrift! 21h at Landmark, Bergen.
In March The Sweetest Thrill is going on tour to Bergen, Haugesund, Stavanger, Kristiansand, Drammen and Oslo - so hope to see you there! We're recording our debut-album after the tour, and maybe we'll also include some live-playing on it.
