Spellbinding voices

Konserten varte i to timer, og var verdt hvert eneste minutt. En absolutt fullsatt sal ble først innviet i det første møtet på en scene mellom Phil Minton og Maja Ratkje, en duo som det virkelig gnistret av. Deretter holdt Maja en soloavdeling med elektronikk, kanskje påvirket av Minton til et ekstra utagerende lydbilde.

Carnaval a yearly tradition

Det startet med at "Herr skurk" alias Kjetil Lønne Nilsen nærmet seg Tou og ba om å få gjøre det han likte best. Nemlig spille et heftig, lang sett med Drum'n'bass. Enden på samtalen var at vi nedsatte en kompetent karnevalskomité. Åsta Sirnes, Katrine Lilleland, Stian Robberstad og uunnværlige in-house handymen Geir og Ole Reidar rottet seg sammen og satte opp årets fest.

I samarbeid med bl.a. Johannes Læringssenter inviterte vi til internasjonalt kulturorg lørdag 26.januar. Til tross for surt januarvær var oppmøtet strålende, med over 100 personer.

Arrangementet hadde fått navnet "BAZAAR" - inspirert av det arabiske torget, en frodig møteplass, stedet hvor saker og ting skjer fordi folk kommer sammen fra så mange ulike steder.

Stavanger 2008 is opened

[this content will be translated soon]

Lørdag 12.januar åpnet Kulturhovedstad 2008. Gratulerer med oppmøtet på 60.000 personer i Stavanger Sentrum. Når en slik mengde (halvparten av byens befolkning?) holder seg ute i bygatene i timevis for å se om det kommer noen spennende opplevelser, lover det bra. Folk vil nemlig ha noe de ennå ikke vet hva er. De er klar for det meste!!! Det har vi alltid ment. Her på Tou Scene kokte det med nær 500 publikummere og den beste numusic-stemningen du kan tenke deg.
