Elektrostat is the biggest electro / alternative music festival in Norway. Located in Oslo, it’s been attracting fans since 1999 with an excellent choice of bands. You can listen to anything from EBM to Gothic rock. They also have DJs that know their job, after parties. The location is pretty amazing. Månefisken cafe is an old red brick industrial warehouse, famous for its underground parties and eye-catching interior, an excellent venue for this type of event.The organisers pride themselves both in popularising Norwegian underground music and in their superb choice of foreign bands. This year, among others, they’ve invited CLAN OF XYMOX and MESH. Undoubtedly none of the bands need to be introduced here! I’ve been lucky enough to interview CLAN OF XYMOX straight after their performance at Elektrostat and you can read the text here.
This is how Elektrostat crew describe their festival: Norway's largest festival dedicated to underground electronic music; Synthpop, Synthrock, EBM (Electronic Body Music), Industrial, Neo-Punk, New Wave, Dark Wave, Gothic Metal, Neo-Folk, Electronica, disco-punk or Electroclash. Elektrostat is not to be missed if you happen to be travelling to the land of Vikings in the autumn!
