Today the 10th edition of the Insomnia Festival (a festival for future music and techno culture) will kick off in Tromsø, Northern Norway. And this year there is a few big names and two Finnish artists preforming.
The whole festival will be opened with a concert by Biosphere at Verdensteatret, which should be a really nice experience. Not only has Geir Jenssen quite recently released a new album, N-Plants, but also probably made new visuals together with Egbert Mittelstädt to accompany the new track list. Would have liked to see him at his home town, but is too far away at the moment. Maybe Ill manage to see him in my own home town in February...
The festival goes over 3 days (20th - 22nd Oct) and have a pretty interesting program, with artist such as Mental Overdrive, Bjørn Torske and Mesak. The one act that I advise the festival goers not to miss out on is Uusi Fantasia. I've only managed to see them live for ONE song, but that was so great that I gladly will recommend a whole gig with them...
First of all I envy Uusi Fantasia (New Fantasy) that they can escape the rain in Helsinki and rather go to the most beautiful region of Norway (might be colder though...)! Well anyhow, they are a three piece act that hails from Helsinki. Red somewhere that they are very experienced musicians that is influenced of music such as tribal disco, electro, house, folk and jazz-rock. Uusi Fantasia is also well known for putting on a good live show, so go and check them out! They will play on the Haakon stage at Driv on Saturday.
With them on the video under is Freeman, an old and relatively famous artist here in Finland.
