Little Hands of Asphalt @ last year's Music Fest.
We’re so looking forward to tomorrow!
Tomorrow is the annual Music Fest Oslo, modeled on the French superparty Fête de la Musique. Also known as the best day of the year, no doubt whatsoever. A musical christmas eve just when summer hits Oslo and brings warmth back into the hearts of us cold Norwegians. Delicious.
And of course there’s a selection of Spoon Train artists playing around the block. Times and places after the jump: Read more »
Please give the new Cold Mailman single a listen! Produced by the band’s bassist, the new track “Pull Yourself Together And Fall In Love With Me” is a lush spring track, beautifully arranged with strings, synths and glockenspiel. Out now on Kråkesølv Records/Diger.
You can hear it at their myspace or get it on iTunes.
It’s true! We’ve booked ten shows, a bus (with beds in it!), and are coming to a town or city that may be (but most probably isn’t) near you. If you happen to live somewhere close to any of the places listed below; come see the shows! Read more »
It’s true!
During this weekend’s by:Larm, the magnificent website clashmusic.com met up with the Thrifts and had a chat about both obvious and not so obvious aspects of their music as well as their upcoming record, “Decay Decoy”, out the 1st of March on Hype City Rec.
Read it all here!
The gigantic and extremely credible Brooklyn-based music website Stereogum were at by:Larm this weekend, and of course stumbled upon Spoon Train bands. Read more »
Ah, what a week! We’ve had about 30 events over the last three days. Quite exhausting, but we’re in good spirit! While you detox, take a look at the new live clip from the great Norwegian music website Groove, they did a small live session with Monzano, who did an acoustic version of the next singel off their new album, “Yes, We Can’t”.
Have a good sunday, we’re heading down to Revolver for some beers and their new the Smiths club night. Amazing stuff.
Since it’s by:Larm-time, we’ve made a brand new sampler for you guys. Some of you will probably find a copy of it at some of the venues in Oslo during this week, but for those of you who aren’t that lucky, you can download it here:

Yes, the rumours are true! Spoon Train has finally gotten new web pages. Look how happy Endre is, surfing around in the pool we like to call our humble online home.
The site is made by our friend André, he’s a good guy and we now owe him eternal guest lists. Check out his other work here. Please stick around for a while and check out our upcoming shows, previous releases and more.
A lot is going on in Spoon Train territory these days with by:Larm coming up, seeing us organizing tons of showcases, club nights and afterparties. Please grab hold of one of us if there’s anything we can do for you.
Also, these pages are not filled to the brim with information yet, but the most important stuff is here. We’ll put more coffee in the cup (to be very metaphorical about it) as days go by.
Join the good side!
