Concerts: Ulver Announce European Dates

Posted on Saturday, December 26 @ 21:16:24 UTC by nightowl

Norwegian progressive rock/metal band Ulver has scheduled a series of European dates throughout February, beginning at the Parkteatret in Oslo, Norway and ending with a two night stand at the Nosturi in Helsink, Finland (see complete dates below).

Ulver has posted its cover version of the Electric Prunes classic "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night" on the group's MySpace page. The track, which features the band's latest addition, Daniel O'Sullivan, on guitar, also includes contributions from Lars Pedersen (When) on drums and Mats Engen (Euroboys) on bass. The recording was mixed by Antti Uusimaki and will appear on Ulver's forthcoming collection of covers, Psyche, which will include the band's interpretations of of "hippie songs from the Sixties ? bands like The 13th Floor Elevvators, Byrds, Jefferson Airplace ? and stranger Aquarian folks."



Ulver's cover version of "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 1)" (hear audio below) was included on a Pink Floyd tribute album called The Wall Re-Built, released by the U.K. magazine Mojo to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album.

Ulver performed for the first time in 15 years on May 30, 2009 at the Norwegian Festival of Literature at Maihaugsalen in Lillehammer, Norway.

Ulver had, since its first album, been exclusively a studio band. This being their first live performance in 15 years, the concert at Lillehammer was a historic event.

Once among the pioneers of Norwegian black metal, now living legends of dark experimental music, Ulver is one of Norway's most acclaimed international artists. While remaining something of a secret treasure back home, a long series of strong releases, most recently the album Shadows Of The Sun (2007), has earned them a unique status worldwide.
