Karlsoy Festival

The start of August brought us to the Arctic Circle (Big up dj Clarke Kent every time). It was the 10th anniversary of Karlsoye Festivalen on a remote island off the Northern tip of Norway.





Before Karlsoy we spent a night in Oslo, we hopped straight off the plane and headed to the studio with Tommy T, here's a clip of us picking beats in his lab.





New single cover..maybe?





The morning after.. damn you and your Norweigan (half-pint) shots Kenneth




Next morning we flew out to Karlsoy, which is further North than Alaska. The island is a mix of native Sami people and hippies, originally sent there by the Norwegian government years ago. Around 30 people live there! We'd played there back in '07, in fact Aphex Twin once played the main (and only) stage, and apparently asked to come back to play for free- you'd understand why if you went.
Its a beautiful part of the world, last time we went fishing and caught 17 fish in about 10 minutes..cooked em up.. tasty - the Salmon they serve at the festival is the best we ever ate. Its that, Goat or Whale, which tastes like rich salty beef, nothing like fish at all.





I went to the mountain.. and there were goats

Just before the show Nonames climbed the highest peak on the island. The dot you can see in the ocean is a Norwegian naval ship that parks of the coast for the week to make sure no-one drowns. The only way on and off the island is a boat that docks (pause) twice a day.
