February 22nd 2004 - Page update In a rare event that occured earlier today, this page was actually updated! I went through the concert list and added many setlists from 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, in addition to updating some of the information about shows and adding some line-ups. The most noticeable addition, solely because of its size, is be the line-up from Blå in Oslo, Norway on December 7th 2000, where there were no less than twelve people onstage throughout the show. The list of people who have appeared on stage with St. Thomas as part of his Magic Club was also updated. February 21st 2004 - Ten new songs Thomas writes in a message on his official webpage at stthomas.no today that he has recently written ten new songs that he will record demos of at Protofon studios in Etnedal during a four-day period starting on March 3rd. Protofon is where he recorded his last album, and Robert Jønnum will also be responsible for putting these demos on tape. The sessions will feature Alexander Lindbäck on drums, Espen Mellingen on guitar and new member of The Magic Club, Petter Pogo, on bass. Petter Pogo is most known for playing in Jokke og Valentinerne, one of Thomas' favorite bands. He played his first concert with St. Thomas at Lillehammer last week, with Thomas calling him four hours before the soundcheck and him taking the train to the venue and playing bass on six songs that night. February 21st 2004 - Appearance on Etter skoletid Thomas and Alex performed on the program Etter skoletid on the Norwegian television channel NRK1 Thursday afternoon. Thomas says he also took on the job of being a sort of co-host for the program during the broadcast. It should be possible to view the program through webTV on NRK's webpages. February 13th 2004 - Topp 20 performance canceled The St. Thomas performance on Topp 20 this afternoon has unfortunately been canceled due to Thomas suffering from a cold. February 13th 2004 - TV appearances This afternoon, St. Thomas will appear on Topp 20 on NRK1 to play "An Artist With A Brilliant Disguise." Yes, the same St. Thomas who has used every opportunity he has gotten to claim he would never appear there again. But this time around he will be getting things his way, not having to do an shallow interview or using playback. He and Alex will play the falsetto version of "An Artist With A Brilliant Disguise" live on drums and banjo, "and then we will see how the fourteen year olds like THAT!" The show airs from 16:03 to 17:00 and continues from 17:15 to 18:00. It will be re-run tomorrow on NRK2 from 15:50 to 17:30. Thomas and Alex will also perform on Etter Skoletid on NRK1 next Friday. |
