Just dropping in

I had expected to see a trio of previously unknown-to-me-acts at Pressed Saturday night, but things took a turn for the Norwegian with a surprise appearance by heralded (well, actually, unheralded in this case) Oslo shoegaze combo Dråpe. Apparently their appearance was a surprise to everyone; they showed up at Pressed saying they'd been booked to play.

Dråpe played first; they're in the country to perform at the M For Montreal festival this Friday. From left to right we have Ketil Myhre, a mostly obscured Even Hafnor, Hanne Solem, Lars Boquist and Eirik Kirkmyre.



More Ketil!



Extra Hanne!



I had to scoot around to the entryway to snap Eirik.



Hanne shakes it.



More guitar!



More Lars!



That was a pleasant surprise. More of the evening's acts after the jump ...
