Vaterland, Oslo, Norway
18th November 2021
Batboner & Grinding Fortune

Thursday night in Oslo and finally time for some Death Rock and also my first visit upstairs at the legendary Vaterland in Grønland (which is a district in Oslo, not the place you most likely thought of when you are not from Oslo). I’ve been here by the way before a few times for beer and Satan Pizza which I also highly recommend, but now it was time to get a dose of live music here as well.

Soft Cell - Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret 40th Anniversary Tour

OK, let’s start with the elephant in the room - didn’t SOFT CELL retire? Yes they did! But hey, with a new album on the way, ‘*Happiness Not Included’, I’m so pleased they changed their mind! With over forty years of electronic soulful, seedy, tortured ditties behind them they remain a strong favourite and still as current and influential as ever. www.softcell.co.uk

What was originally planned for March 2020 and postponed several times due to this well-known C-virus took finally place on 13th November 2021. Still, not everything was “normal” yet. Access was only allowed with 3G, means recovered, vaccinated of tested. But once inside the venue, things felt quite normal. Not much distance, no masks, just excitement. People were standing together, chatting, hugging… just happy to celebrate together and to forget the pandemic for some hours.
