Well almost! There is a rock band in Europe coming from Norway…Madrugada. (Google it and check it out in Youtube. It is HIGHLY recommended). The past few years the singer, Sivert Hoyem uses a D-size Maglite to illuminate the audience when lights are down.

Today it is a special day since I recieved their DVD and here is a screen capture (the best I could do).

Now IF there is gonna be another tour this chap needs a modded LED Mag with strobe!

Enjoy, Kostas

BTW (note for the moderators) the DVD is NOT copy controled

First of all, this guy needs a better light! His tour manager should buy him the BEAST!

I watched some you tube...they sound just like the band " REM " (and I think the lead singer guy is trying to look like him, bald head...just too tall)

Just wondering...why do some of these europe rock groups sing in english? I love hearing rock tunes in words I can't understand!

Also, I love the Rickenbacker bass (is that a 4001 in FireGlow? NICE!)

Quite simple, they get a much bigger audience. If they, like in this case, would had sung in norwegian, they would have an audience of about 5 millions, and would have a hard time making a tour outside of Norway. When singing in english, they can have the whole world as a potential audience. And pretty much everybody understands english in Scandinavia anyway, so doesnt do much difference for the home audience in which language they sing.

I think they are more similar to Morphine, a really great band.

If you want to try Spanish Rock search for "Heroes del Silencio" or "Mago de Oz"

You need to hook that guy up with some >500 lumen light to get that crowd!

well actually for the purposes of recording the live DVD the light man. which I talk too after each concert and even had beers with, set up 5 cinema key lights illuminating the crowd. (He is an emerging director himself)

We are talking watts in the high 4-figure range!!!

BTW how about setting up a band the "LightStruck" in the next CPF meet? There will be Zero audience and a milllion light enginners!
