Big Big Train & Beardfish

WLR er glade for å kunne ønske BIG BIG TRAIN velkommen tilbake til Cosmopolite i oktober 2024.

I august 2023 leverte bandet en forrykende konsert i Oslo som mange vil huske lenge.
BBT blander sjangere som folkerock, rock, pop og progrock i en herlig blanding som alle som liker musikk vil elske.
I mars vil bandet release sitt første album "The Likes Of Us" med vokalist Alberto Bravin (Før bl.a PFM) - og sammen med Spawton og Bravin, vil vi igjen få møte Rikard Sjøblom (Beardfish) og Nick D`Virgilio (Før Spocks Beard og nå masse prosjekter og band) til en ny forrykende konsert.

La oss fylle Cosmopolite denne kvelden. WLR gleder oss masse.

Beardfish

Beardfish started in 2001 when schoolmates Rikard Sjöblom and David Zackrisson found out they had a mutual love for King Crimson. ”We should start a new band and make music in this style…” so they did! After a couple of line-up changes the long standing combo of Sjöblom and Zackrisson on vocals, guitar and keys and guitar respectively together with bassist Robert Hansen and drummer Magnus Östgren was formed. After self-releasing two albums, the quartet signed with InsideOut music for the release of their third album, the first part of the ”Sleeping in Traffic” series. It made the band some wide-spread ripples along with very nice reviews and caught the attention of one Mike Portnoy, who would have their albums in his yearly top ten list for two years in a row. The band continued to release albums and tour in Europe but also the USA and parts of South America. Then in 2016, after the release of ”+4626-COMFORTZONE”, the band decided to call it quits. Fast forward to 2022 and a tingling feeling started to grow and discussions were had about seeing each other to play again.. Rikard had some new tunes that just felt like Beardfish more than anything else and it was clear that everyone was onboard. That means the band is back with a brand new album called ”Songs for Beating Hearts” coming out on InsideOut in november  2024!
