Final days in Europe…

Svein — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:31:53 +0000

Our touring days in Europe for 2009 is coming to an end. Last night we played a fun & sweaty gig in London, UK – Big-ups to those who took part! In a few hours we’re on-stage here in Amsterdam on yet another sold-out show. And on that note, we’d like to take this opportunity to [...]

Tonight…

...we played a concert in Köln, Germany (Cologne). To those who attended the gig, we had a fantastic time there together with you! After the main event, after the third encore had finished, we could hear you all shouting for more. But alas, the in-house music was suddenly put on, together with houselights, without our consent. At this point it was too late for us to go and do another song for you. We appologize for this - you were clearly an energetic & "pumped" audience that deserved more! We'll make it up to you next time! Best, Señor B & Señor B

An Introduction to a video

Once in a while one gets a sense of disbelief. "After all this, there is only one way to live for me now. I am going out there to be like them." "You're really going? Just like that?" "If not now, when?" "Hmm. Lets talk in a few days." "Not possible. They don't allow cellphones." When, three weeks ago, Runar entered the auditioning room, I knew something like this would happen. Now, before we jump to conclusions, let's remember that any conversion following the newly-brewed manifest is a small price to pay. After all, Runar is just as an actor, and the "story" above is just a lie. Now, for real, about the paragraph above - the things that are true: - Disbelief/Ways to live - Runar auditioning - Manifest And just in case there's some confusion, here is a small Q&A with Runar Señors B + B

Remix Röyksopp!!

Royksopp HQ — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:24:59 +0000

This is yet another shabby attempt at giving something back to our fans – or rather get our fans involved in our shabby doings… Yes, this is an invitation to all of you dedicated souls out there who want to take part in the Röyksopp legacy! We feel that track “Tricky Tricky” has so much potential, it deserves a life outside the album. Not only is this a chance at beating us at our own game, you also get to mess around with Karin Deijer-Andersson’s extraordinary vocals! Now, how about that?!? For those about to remix – we salute you! Go to the Tricky Tricky Remix Competition section Señors B + B

Ha ha ha…

Has it really been this long since we’ve been here?!?! Well then it’s time to sober up and get back in there! We’ve done a vast number of gigs during the last couple of weeks (since the last entry here), and now we’re stumbling out of bewilderness & oblivion, only to ramble on. To us, the [...]

Sun & Fun

We have just risen from the ashes of Arvika (Sweden), where we played last night. Thanks to extremely high tempratures, I believe we lost about 40 % of our total BMI (Body Mass Index), reducing us to nothing but mere shells of our former selves. Dehydration aside, we had a blast! Thanks for that Arvika! [...]

We know what you’re thinking…

Svein — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:58:39 +0000

…probably something along the lines of “you lazy bastards…” And yes, we will admit to that, at least in terms of web-communication the last couple of weeks. BUT – in a poor atempt to explain our recent negligence – we have in the same aforementioned period been playing some fun gigs (from our perspective) in Krakow [...]

Röyksopp’s Top 5 “Girl & Robot”-combos in movies:

Svein — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:43:35 +0000

Inspired by our ongoing “The Girl & The Robot”-videoshoot, we take a stroll down memory-lane to explore the history of “Girl & Robot”-combos found in movies. A vast selection of girls & robot-combos have been weighed and judged mainly by three criteria: loyalty between the two, their level of cool and – pardon us for [...]

Fellow human beings, androids & what-not…

Svein — Mon, 04 May 2009 11:30:49 +0000

… April has come to a end and it’s time to take a look at what we’ve achieved in the last 4 weeks… We’ve done a mini-tour consisting of a selected few dates in some major cities in Europe. As far as we remember, they went pretty damn well and the audience seemed to get [...]
