"Waiting for the end" - release 26/9
I..m proud to announce that my new album "Waiting for the end" will be released 26/9 on Nordic Notes in Germany/Austria/Switzerland and Netherlands.
And in the red corner! The hailing voice and stomping piano beast from the
north! Three foot five and weighing just 20 pounds! The one and only
musical artist that knows all there is to know about the fine game of snooker!
Proudly presenting the one man band, the tap-dancing
pianoman, Mr One Punch, straight from the garden of Eden: Micke from Sweden!
Micke is also known as Micke Lohse, also known as the organplayer from swedens
finest band Atomic Swing. He recorded his new piano album with a handful of rat poison in the ruff ouskirts harbour area of Stavanger. Produced by Janove Ottesen from Kaizers Orchestra, recorded and mixed by Børge Fjordheim Cloroform and hoasted by the jazztrumpet of
Sjur Miljeteig from The Leather Fashion, and a frequent stream of norwegian vagabond
musicians coming and going.
Ever since I heard my father play songs by Hugo Wolf and Robert
Schumann I knew that the stories I needed to tell were best
accompanied with the sound of a piano. For me these songs and recordings are
a very egoistic act of my own mind, although I..d love the idea of other people
being able to here my songs, I must confess that they are mainly for my wife,
my cat Ziggy, and my serial killer neighbour.
The future is unknown, as far as I..m concerned, and I kind of like
it to stay that way. I..ve travelled a long way to get this far and I
wouldn..t have the money to pay for a returnticket anyway. I..d rather die on the
verge of success than on my neighbour..s door steps.
