Herr Nilsson
A boy from Bergen, Norway, playing home-made songs in his little studio in his bedroom, which is mainly a computer, guitar, a drum and a microphone, and the occational toy-organ. Its sort of lofi-pop, but Herr Nilsson also likes country and folk as well as alternative pop-rock. Actually he likes all kinds of music, he doesnt hate anything or anyone at all. So there you go.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Not much to say here really. I started in 2002 playing songs into my computer. At first they were crap, but eventually some of them turned out to be damn good. Which is why I bother to post them on the web. Have been played on local Student Radio in Bergen, and have joined Galant Records (a tiny tiny little record company in Bergen) for their release of the compalition "No more hifi". Its gonna be a great, great record with a lot of super artists.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yup, I play live every now and then (mostly at private parties). And yes I like it. Does the audience like it? I havent got a clue. I am rehersing with a full band though.
Your musical influences
Wilco, Jim Orourke, Neutral Milk Hotel, Håkan Hellstrøm, Primal Scream, The Beta Band, Beatles, Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and also a lot of country and blues. I also get inspired by other great unsigned demo-bands - for instant ROLLS, Pamfilius, Professor Pez, Lofi man and Magnus Hirschfeldt.
What equipment do you use?
An old computer, a crappy keyboard, an acoustic guitar, my fathers trumpet and a harmonica.
