I went to a bunch of concerts last night at By:Larm festival. This particular festival is for up-and-coming bands from Norway, and lucky for us it was being held in Tromso this year. Line, Kjersti, and I forked over the dough and bought tickets for the Kulturhuset venue, which meant that we got to wander back and forth between three different stages. The highlight of the night was Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Band, followed by a Swedish duo called Johnossi (not all bands are Norwegian), the Blind Archery Club (pretty good, but not fantastic), and norsk hip-hop/r&b "it"-girl Mira Craig. She's pretty much a cave woman. (Hirin' and firin'.)

We had fun. It's a great place to people watch and hear some new music.
