moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches
[26 apr '02] for those of you who do not know, the headline
here is a song title : goldenboy is a happy band : because what could
have been trite was not : instead, a school concert became sort of a highlight
for the boys : yep, those of you who were there probably know that the
group enjoyed every minute as much as you (hopefully) did : these words
are just out here to tell you that a thorough concert report will follow
and that we're on cloud nine : because of a small school : in an insignificant
city : life is weird and wonderful : a small concert? maybe : a big concert?
definitely!
mission
possible
[19 apr '02] the mission was set and difficult : to attract
people even though big-shots like gluecifer and small-shot like division
of laura lee were playing the same day : question : would this town be
big enough for the three of them? answer : the goldenboy concert at garage
attracted 213 paying and apparently happily content spectators : the crowd
was submitted to a lot of new material but with the usual gb trademark
: melodic hummable catchy pop-punk songs : a lot of movement, stage diving,
grins and a band that now seems to have lost their musical diapers and
gained the ability to stand on their own two, eehh, 8 feet :they have
developed coherent talking : they are musically self-sufficient : it was
a nice energetic evening and it must have been cool to wake up the next
day feeling confident with a deadly hangover knowing that the locals had
chased the swedes out of bergen : at least this time : it all made sense
: flower power is back : and the feeling of love is a two-sided mutual
thingie : goldenboy loves their fans and goddammit it seems that their
fans are taking a fancy to goldenboy, too : appreciation rules :
x-mas
gift
[8 dec '00] the Xmas party at kvarteret housed a goldenboy
so compact and condensed that if you put the feeling in a jar and sent
it to a record company the band would have a deal immediately : unfortunately
no one had thought about bringing a lid so goldenboy's concert is now
only preserved in the memory of those present : a large crowd can still
let their thoughts wander back to this evening when the band did their
best performance ever : the only sad thing was that there were no men
in black present : they should be spanking their own asses for having
chosen norway's worst and most hyped up band euroboys instead of having
a golden energy kick : shame : shame : shame :
sold out concert : unknown band
[27 oct '00] an almost sold-out concert for the release of
a promo-CD of an unknown band? how is this possible and plausible in a
world where garage bands [pun intended] seem to pop up like forbidden
mushrooms? well, in the spirit of "image is everything, buy bananas"
the golden boys did their best to create and fulfill the expectations
of what seemed to be an international crowd : it was obvious that the
marketing endeavors for the concert paid off [pun intended again] : the
band seemed to grow in confidence with every song and every cheer from
the public : at one point a group of Spanish girls were seen throwing
bras and underwear onto the stage : the concert ended with a remarkable
cover version of the george michael classic "careless whisper"
much to the amusement of 300 happy ticket holders :
what
the press said:
[27 oct '00] goldenboy threw a release party for their first
cd at garage friday night : judging by the turnout and the mood of the
crowd, the band has already established quite a large group of fans :
not at all undeserved as goldenboy seem to possess most of the qualities
you expect from a good rock band : brilliant pop songs, charming performance
and solid craftsmanship : a band you easily take a fancy to : we still
miss a little identity and distinctiveness, but those elements are usually
derived from experience :

horny goldenboy
[5 may '01] goldenboy is one of the city's most progressive and
"gig-horny" bands. Saturday night Garage was the venue, and
all the stage experience is really starting to show. The sound is condensed,
solid and harmonious with clever arrangements both vocally and instrumentally.
Cheerful and fresh songs stealing from the glitter-rock of the 70's and
the surfpunk of the 90's. We still detect a little lack of originality
in the material, but at this point this is the only objection we have.

impressive
attendance
[30 may '00] Sigh and goldenboy attracted an impressive attendance
at "Nystemten" at Den Stundesløse last Tuesday. Even
on the slowest day of the week in the middle of the music festival it
was as crowded as on a Saturday night. Probably due to intensive marketing
to friends and familiars. Solid performances by both bands even though
I have to admit that goldenboy was more to my taste. It's nice to once
again experience a band that plays positive rock in the middle of all
the melancholy that rules the stages around the city.
