  Tobias Sten

  Pumpegris is a folk-fusion band that playfully mixes the old and new, the humorous and serious. Inspired by Norwegian folk music, west African music, shoegaze and the singer songwriter genre they make pop music. They focus on groove, Norwegian traditional dance tunes and witty yet bittersweet lyrics.
  
  They have played venues like Oslo Pride, Parkteateret, Kulturhuset and John Dee. Together with folk music label Ta:lik and producer Tuva Syvertsen they will release their first album spring of 2025. In their coming release they pick up references from West-African music, rap, singer-songwriter and shoegaze, taking a departure from witch-like folkrock into something more groovy, dirty and intimate.

  Gluecifer

  Gluecifer was a key band in the Scandinavian rock-wave that swept across Europe 20 years ago. Gluecifer started out as a punkrock band in Oslo in 1994. A string of underground releases led to a record deal with the Swedish, White Jazz label, home of The Hellacopters etc. All across Europe in the winter of 1998, the two bands did a massive tour together, and rockfans across the globe started to pay attention. Along with other great bands like Turbonegro, The Hives and Backyard Babies, the term «Scandinavian Rock» or «Scandirock» was born as a musical conception. Five studio albums later, close to a thousand shows, and eleven years into their carreer Gluecifer called it quits. After a farewell tour that ended in New York, October 2005, they promised they’ll never to return to the stage again. In June 2018 that promise was broken, as Gluecifer reunited for a headliner show at the Azkena Rock Festival in Spain. Fans had flown in from all corners of the world to see the first Gluecifer show in 13 years. This felt like no less than a massive homecoming, and more successful reunion shows took place throughout the next few years. Playing the old songs and revisiting the past led to another big question for the band. Was it time to put it all to rest once again, or was this the right time for a new chapter? Their brand new album «Same Drug New High» was released on Jan.16 2026
