Kennel Collector review

Norwegian student paper Universitas brings quite a nice review of the Kennel sampler CD. Unfortunately for some of you it is in Norwegian, but here’s some of it:

Philco Fiction is described as gentle jazz-pop that sends shivers down your spine, while Ontz sounds like children’s TV-jazz (!) meets Beach Boys. Lasse Passage gets compared to Sondre Lerche while Kristin Minde is described as a relative of Norwegian pop princess Marit Larsen. Blokk 5’s “Scandimals” is said to be a summary of the career of Motorpsycho.

A lot of strange comparisons but they assure us that it is all ment in a positive way.

Kennel Connects - Festival på Soria Moria

31. oktober-1. november arrangerer Kennel festival på Soria Moria. Det blir musikk fra tre scener to dager til ende. I vår hadde vi tre vellykkede konsertkvelder med medlemmer fra Kennel, og nå vil vi ta det ett steg videre ved å arrangere en festival med band og artister som vi på ulike måter har tilknytning til.

Det er foreløpig litt for tidlig til at vi kan røpe noen artister, men dette og nærmere informasjon om festivalen vil dukke opp på denne siden i løpet av høsten. Sett av  disse to dagene og følg med her for oppdateringer.
