Motorpsycho - the improvising rock band - exposed, introduction

April 8th 2010 labels Rune Grammofon (Norway) and Stickman Records (Europe) released ”Intrepid Skronk” which is the fourth rendition in the Roadwork live album series of Motorpsycho. The double vinyl album features live cuts from 2008 – 2010, a period in which newcomer, drummer Kenneth Kapstad, has contributed to create a significant stylistic shift to a more progressive and space rock oriented sound.

As a build up to the release The Evil City Blog published four of the articles I’ve done on the improvising rock band up through the years, translated to English by myself. Thanks to Hugh Small and Kristin Waag for proof-reading and corrections.
