Hellbillies!



We just returned from seeing the "Hellbillies" in concert! We had no idea what to expect (all we knew of the group was their name) but we had a great time. Their music was hard to define, a little bit rock, a little country, a little folk, with a bit of Celtic influence. All the songs were in Norwegian, and everyone in the audience seemed to know every word. At one point, the lead singer asked for the audience to sing along, but we weren't loud enough for his taste, so he heckled us all a little, saying that we sounded like we were from Skreia! I guess that's a big insult around here, as everyone booed! The concert was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the music, but one thing surprised me. There was no assigned seating. Hmm, so it's important for everyone to sit in their assigned seat at a quiet little movie theater, or kino, but at a big concert with copious amounts of alcohol being consumed, no worries, hang out where ever you like! There were no problems, everyone behaved themselves nicely. I hope at some point the kino owner decides that the audience can seat themselves too--I'm really a third row from the front on the aisle kind of girl!
