Ratbastards! Just got an email on the student
account pontificating about some Norwegian
band called Surferosa. The gig's at our other
campus - so, so what? Then I checked out the
hype: they're fucking great!
They're Norwegian, they kooky, they sing in
kooky English, they're apparently obsessed
with all things 80s and glam, and lead singer
Mariann is the 80s-electro-bastard grand-
daughter of Gwen Stefani, Madonna and Cyndi
Lauper or something.
What's great - as far as the Norwegian
record biz is concerned - is that there's
as much money behind them as there is press
interest.
There is 3 downloadable videos online:
Firstly, goto http://www.barebea.no/
skip the intro, click the second heart on
the left, select your speed and check
out 'Saturday Night'.
And there's two more at the offical site:

Cheers,

Before I sign off... please check out - at
least - the Saturday Night video. It's a
great glam song, seriously.
The two videos on their official site
are too glam to be glam. One chorus
(an ode to Japanese culture) goes along
the lines of: 'It's tasty, it's catchy
- catchy and tasty. Catchy, catchy, catchy,
catchy.' True trash. Fucking lovely.

D, I'll check it out later. I promise.
-
Wow. Great find D. I LOVE it.

Checked out the Saturday Night vid.
Reminds me a bit of Blondie. Debbie Harry in her bin-bag days. Not bad at all.
Better than Whigfield's Saturday Night, but then wasn't she Danish? lol
-
i have their 'shanghai my heart' cd and i would say that saturday night is not one of the better songs on it. if you like saturday night you will love the cd.

Dude, sorry to say, but it's not happening for me. I watched the videos for Neon Commando and Lucky Lipstick High and besides both being way too 80's synth pop sounding for me, the woman's voice/vocal delivery totally grated on my ears. It wouldn't let me open any videos on that other site you had. I'll try again and perhaps my opinion will change. However, I wouldn't count on it.
-
btw, for me on http://www.barebea.no/, it wouldn't let me skip the intro. Ended up being six peeps fading onto the screen, then five disappearing, leaving the final one on there. Then, it had the heart. What am I doing wrong? Anybody?
-
I can't believe only one person found them
- her - as tasty and catchy, catchy and tasty,
catchy, tasty, catchy, tasty, catchy catchy
catchy as me.
To 'Skip Intro' you have maximize their window.
You'll find the skip link at the bottom.

1. Even with maximizing, still couldn't find the skip button.
2. After it runs through, I end up with the chick on the screen with a heart off to the left. It says Bare Bea. There's three words below it in a foreign tongue (probably Norwegian, eh?) and some more words to the right in a column. On the upper right, it's got two of the guys. They're the only thing I can open up on the screen. I'm assuming that when I click on them, it's their bios that I'm seeing. I don't see any mp3 links. Sorry to say.
