Herr Nilsen / Østkanten bluesklubb
Gram Per Person is a band rooted in traditional Americana, and they sing rock music (in English) the way that Robert Johnson and Eartha Kitt used to. GPP will help to continue the musical heritage of the cultural experiment that is America. The sextet, from Bergen, completed work on their second album at the tail end of October. The record entitled “Fables for some”, was recorded at Duper Studio with Iver Sandøy manning the controls. Musical ideas are drawn from all across the genre spectrum, with role models as diverse as Dylan, Cash, Earle and Parsons, Grateful Dead/Jerry Garcia along side newer artists such as Uncle Tupelo, Lucinda Williams, Jesse Sykes, the Replacements, Son Volt and Ryan Adams. Also worthy of honourable mention are some Norwegian heroes, 12 Volt, Tussler Society and Flying Norwegians. In spite of their position as an unsigned band, GPP are playing more and more shows, and a number of tracks from their debut album frequented the airwaves following the record’s release.
