๐๐๐ซ๐ค ๐๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ (๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐ฌ) is a well-known figure in Osloโs music underworld, and heโs been around in Norway for so long that many assume that he is Norwegian. He is not. This ex-New Yorker is a wandering scoundrel who one might find hanging out in the shadowy corners of a pub at closing time โ whether the nearest street sign reads New York, Oslo, Paris, Berlin, Lisbon or Melbourne. A musical vagrant who draws inspiration from the same sources which may have influenced ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ, ๐๐ข๐๐ค ๐๐๐ฏ๐, ๐๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ก๐๐ง, ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐. ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ โ yes, that entire circle of hollow-eyed, black- clad night owls with melancholic dispositions and pocket-flasks full of booze to match. Mark Steiner is indeed such a character..."- ๐๐ด๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐๐ฎ๐ฑ, ๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฆ, ๐ก๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐

The Sydney duo SIMON & GRAHAME (of ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ) will be joining in as very special guests to do a set of "unplugged versions of post-punk, new wave and political stuff!"
๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ play drums and guitars along with vocals. "Our sound is a mixture of swamp echo blues, rockabilly swagger and country murder ballads... whilst our songs deal with topics such as sin and redemption and the eternal struggle to walk the straight line ... an Australian western gothic nightmare for those that dwell in the dark places or as we like to say "these are indeed tales for the darkest hearts" ... it's unimportant where we're from but more where we are going ..."
