this used to be our playground

early sunday morning the 7th of sebtember, skuteviksbodene 13 burned to the ground.
leaving ungdomskulen and 40 other bergen based bands without rehearsal-rooms.
not only that but countless of instruments,gear and personal stuff were vaporised in
the intense flames.
fortunately no-one was hurt!
its a tragedy, but there is hope!
money is raised and people are helping each other!

hallo trutnov!

wedding thrashers

being a band with no restrictions as far as playing-ground goes, ungdomskulen performed their most leftfield gig to date, at a wedding.
we didnt play covers mind you, we let the groom pick from our hardhitting back catalogue of prog-punk jams.
it wasnt any wedding though, it was a really nice, sweet wedding, with hints of greek passion and poetic grandeur of past times.
we where a little nervous at our arrival(we were afraid that we´d ruin the whole wedding and everyone would hate us) but when we left we had been part of
limbo-dancing, dancer-in-the-ring and a bona fide moshpit(some wedding).
we were all alittle touched,tired, in love with life and red-cheeked, all according to protocol.

here we are now with the beautiful bride and groom, oda and leiv otto

Ungdomskulen @ Hove Festival

heres u.s doing an acoustic version of modern drummer for norwegian tv-show called lydverket.
håvard eliassen is playing saxomophone and two of our tent-neighbours joined in on percussion.

work in progress

good people!
do we have some news for you!
ungdomskulen are working on our sophmore record, and it is going really well.
we have 4 tracks as good as down, and we started just 2 weeks ago.
there will be a slow song on this record, maybe we can be so bold to even call it a ballad, but apart from telling you that, we are very secretive about it, our little gem, $ in the hat.
we are planning to release it in febuary 2009.
so be patient for chrissake!
we don´t have a working title for it, but if anyone has any ideas just hit us with it.
either here or there.
in the meantime...
here´s a picture of us taking a break from rocking out!
