Senjahopen 14 December! Doors open 20:00 // Concert starts 21:00. 20 years age limit


MUSICAL CONFECT OF THE TOP CLASS! 
Senjahopen was conceived nearly two decades ago, and after almost seven albums and a hell of a lot of concerts and not least thousands of stickers, it's a wonder that they are still neither a national treasure nor a well-oiled machine with predictable interludes and rehearsed dance steps. This orchestra is not unlike a box of chocolates: You never know what you will get. But with a repertoire that ranges from warm, intimate and lovely in "Drømmefanger", via sing-along-friendly "Over Heia", to the Northern Norwegian national anthem "En Hælvettes Gjeng", you know that you will always get chocolate, so to speak.

Right from the very beginning when they asked everyone to "Join På Yttersia", Senjahopen has managed the art of being both a kind of eternal outsider while at the same time being a cornerstone of the northern Norwegian musical fauna. But that in no way means that you have to pass either a DNA test or a dialect test: Here there is both such good music and lively lyrics that even if you are descended from Terje Vigen, Pillar-Guri, Olav Tryggvasson or Sissel Kyrkjebø, there is no reason so that you will not both recognize yourself and feel welcome. Because when the self-irony, the robber stories and the choruses are as loose as they are with this gang, you almost have to be vaccinated against a good mood in order not to get your feet wet, pull on the smiley face and maybe even shed a tear.

And speaking of tears: when "Onsdagsrenn", the first single from the upcoming album, was released, no one, regardless of gender, orientation and age, got through without at least a tiny lump in their throat. But having said that, there is nothing to indicate that only ballads are in the works. Senjahopen's musical philosophy has always been that it is in no way a goal to invent the gunpowder, the most important thing is to keep the gunpowder dry. And when they now hit the road with both old safeties and brand new material, there is no doubt that there will be something for everyone here. 

In other words, the most beautiful adventure of the summer is a robbery story that lasts right up to Christmas, and if this four-span had been harnessed for a carriage, it would almost certainly have been both an unclean trot and galloping long before the first turn. But when they strap on their guitars and "clarify" their voices, the odds are that it will be an experience you'll remember so well that you're unlikely to get paid more than you bet.
