Bigbangfans.com and Øystein / Bigbang mentioned in Midlake interview
Norwegian web music zine Furoreiharare did an interview with Midlake talking about their new upcoming record due to be released early next year. Seems they picked up on our channels, since they mention Øystein playing guitar on one of their tracks…
Whole interview can be found here. Check out Midlake @ MySpace, or their official homepage.
Roughly translated to english:
A rumor from Bigbangfans.com mentions a studio visit from Øystein Greni. Is this correct?
Yeah, that’s correct. He came to the studio, played a little electric guitar for the first track of the new album, a tune called Acts Of Man. It sounded awesome, but in the process of completing the album, we decided that it didn’t really fit in a way, so we removed it. The tune didn’t really need a guitar solo, it sounded very good, and by all means; he’s a great guy, his band rocks, he rocks. Actually met him a couple of weeks ago in LA. Good guy.

Norwegian version:
Ja, ok! Nå over til noe litt annet; i følge et rykte på Bigbangfans.com, har dere fått besøk av Øystein Greni i studio. Er dette fakta?
Begge: Haha, ja, det stemmer det! Han kom i studio, og spilte litt el-gitar på førstesporet på den nye albumet, en låt som heter Acts Of Man. Det hørtes jævlig bra ut, men etter hvert som albumet nærmet seg ferdig, så vi at det på en måte ikke passet helt inn, så vi fjernet det. Låten trengte liksom ikke en gitar-solo, det det hørtes veldig bra ut, og for all del; han er en knall-type, bandet hans rocker, han rocker. Møtte han faktisk for et par uker siden i LA. Bra kar.
