It's not always recognized in today's "we want it all right now" world, but patience is a true virtue. And Bergen's finest electro-rockers Ralph Myerz & the Jack Herren Band are being rewarded for remembering that golden rule.
After releasing two highly successful albums on an indie label (2003's 'A Special Album' and 2005's 'Your New Best Friends'), the trio is set to unleash its major label debut on Virgin Records.
Ralph Myerz & the Jack Herren Band is not the flavour of the month - far from it.
Building a rabid following since 2002's A Special EP, the band has stacked their loyal fans, a tower cultivated brick by brick, achieving Gold Status with their sophomore release a Special Album, and Norwegian Alternative Grammy for both albums, upon a foundation that is awe inspiring.
Their fans are rewarded with relentless touring, never failing energy and a hurricane of a live performance, killing all other so called electronic live acts...
Paying homage to the glory days of great shows and audience communication, it blows your speakers with a tight and overwhelming light show & pyrotechnics and features the mad drummer/percussionists front stage, a bass/guitar/slide/EFX maestro accompanying the main Ralph himself in the middle, pumping out the catchiest hooks, chilled out moods and rocked out electronica.....or whatever you want to call it.
Yes, Ralph Myerz & the Jack Herren Band can rock, as the band has proved over the last 4 years - touring their home grounds and Europe extensively, headlining their own club shows in every corner of the European continent, or making memorable appearances at some of Europe's biggest festivals (be it rock, jazz or electro festivals, these boys will have you rockin!).
Wheter they play to a hundred people at a dodgy Hamburg club, opening the main stage at legendary Glastonbury, or appearing as stand-in act for David Bowie in front of a 70.000 capacity crowd at France's biggest rock festival - the Myerz boys will always play a show like it's their last. A bomb set to detonate for one time only.
With a fierce hunger to please, the band takes the intensity from 11 to infinity, making sure no-one leaves their show unsatisfied.
Never losing focus, always heavy grooving, and taking care of their crowd as if it was their sole purpose here on this earth...
Those who have witnessed the sonic assault of the band knows the score and is forever longing for more - those who haven't, you have no idea what's gonna hit you....
then you'll be hooked..........forever!

OUT NOW! 'Fulltilt EP' from Glasgow outfit Mr Hajika.
4 slabs of groove driven tech house...
Fulltilt original is a chugging, bass heavy track with a subtle musicality that develops throughout. Dr. Bergers remix is a stripped down deeper edit, with an infectious flow that maintains the essence of the original. Similarly to Dr. Berger, Alex Fiction strips back the layers to uncover an electronic soul which builds into an intelligently emotive interpretation, if slightly twisted. Completing the package is 'Nitemoves' which shares the big sound of Fulltilt, but with a more progressive, melodic vibe."

Ompakara med selveste Benny Borg på laget, har spilt inn ny og heftig versjon av den legendariske Balladen om Morgan Kane.
Det 12 manns store Elverumsorkesteret med Balkansound og patent på Gangsterpolka , har denne gangen kastet seg på Mariachiompa genren, hvor den Mexicanske Mariachitropmeten kommer til sin rett.
Ompakaras fele høres denne gangen ut som en Marimba , banjoen er bytta ut med stringswing flamenco gitar, og det trente øre vil høre et godt gammeldags 70 talls stueorgel vugge med.
Elverum mannskor preger et av Norges mest brukte refreng; Morgan Kane var hans navn. Kontakt.; Ivar Nergaard, 91793129, ivar@ompakara.no Harde fakta:
Morgan Kane trekker på 1/5 dels sekund
Morgan kane trekker over 1000 ganger iløpet av balladen om Morgan Kane.
