Festival News: Third Band Confirmed For Subtacto Progfest 2007

Posted on Thursday, October 12 @ 03:25:52 UTC by nightowl

We are happy to confirm the third band for next year's progressive rock festival in Holmenkollen. The third band is also Norwegian.

The Norwegian band Wobbler made their debut with the highly acclaimed CD Hinterland last year.



Hinterland contains long and complex tracks featuring lush, vintage / keyboard sounds, making extensive use of Mellotron, Mini-Moog, Hammond C-3 and harpsichord, along with beautiful electric and acoustic guitar playing, a complex rhythm section along with flutes, recorder, saxophones, mandolins and various other instruments providing a very full, symphonic sound.

The band was formed in the idyllic Norwegian countryside, not too far from the great waterfalls of H?nefoss, in the spring of 1999 with a burning desire to create or perhaps recreate some of the musical expressions of the early seventies,-specially in the use of the instruments of that time and the somewhat "strange" compositons of the progressive rock scene from 1969 - 1974.

We are really looking forward to see the band on stage next summer!

The Subtacto Progfest will be held at the world famous venue Holmenkollen in Oslo, Norway on Saturday 4th of August 2007.
