Royksopp: Röyksopp Forever
Webster Hall – New York, NY, USA – November 23, 2009

Living in America can sometimes be isolating. School teaches us very little about foreign nations, and as adults we often shape our opinions around outdated stereotypes and movies. Norway, for example, is a place that many of us know little or nothing about. Oslo, the nation's capital, is where President Obama received his Nobel Peace Prize. It's also the birthplace of Norway's most successful music group A-ha, who shot to stardom in 1985 with their hit single "Take On Me." The city of Tromsø (located 1050 miles north of Oslo) is one of the best spots in the world to view Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). Also known as the "Techno Capital of Norway," Tromsø has produced many talented musicians like Bjørn Torske, Frost, Kings of Convenience's guitarist/songwriter Erlend Øye, and most notably Röyksopp's Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge, who in late November lit up New York City's Webster Hall brighter than Tromsø's winter skies.
