Norska Wobbler kommer och besöker oss lördag 22:a november med dom lokala proghjältarna i Exit Stage Left som förband.

WOBBLER Formed in Hønefoss in 1999 and harbouring a burning desire to create, or perhaps recreate, some of the musical expressions of the early 70's, WOBBLER have grown to become one of Norway’s leading symphonic progressive rock bands with an extensive following amongst progressive rock connoisseurs, not only in Scandinavia, but also throughout Europe and North America. WOBBLER's use of both vintage and modern instruments allow the band to compose and play music that is multi-flavoured, adventurous, and enigmatic. From one song to the next, WOBBLER's edgy guitar riffs can just as easily turn into poignant melodies, whilst melancholic and harmonious verses can give way to powerful crescendos. Is that a spinet you can hear in their music? And the odd touch of Flamenco and Italian recitals? Yes it is! With three albums under their belts, and extensive stage experience in Europe and North America, WOBBLER signed with Norway's Karisma Records in 2017 for the release of their fourth full-length album "From Silence to Somewhere" in October of the same year.

The reviews exceeded all expectations: "It's almost hard to fathom just how good From Silence to Somewhere is, easily one of 2017s best progressive rock releases from a band that just can seemingly do no wrong. Glorious stuff from top to bottom, and highly recommended" - Pete Pardo, Sea of Tranquility "Creative and retro without being in any way derivative, this gentle yet at times dark album is a sheer delight....this is a highly original work and deserving of a lofty place in the prog annals" - Andrew Doherty, avenoctum.com

With the release of their fifth full-length album Dwellers of the Deep in 2020 WOBBLER cemented their status as one of the most interesting and diverse progressive rock bands today. More avantgarde than their previous outputs while maintaining the many-levelness which has been WOBBLER’s staple from the beginning, the album got raving reviews:

"Dwellers of the Deep is even more absorbing than its predecessor and practically bursts at the seems with brilliant ideas and exquisite hooks…[the] infectious energy sets them apart from their sepiatinted peers" – Dom Lawson, Prog Magazine
