Get this video and more at MySpace.com Kalles World Tour has played all over Denmark, Russia, Bulgaria, Italy, Norway and Germany (Ragazzi-Music from Germany wrote: "You can hear the incredible virtuos drumming from Kalle Mathiesen. This man has an unusual excellent feeling for expressive drumming.") MODERN DRUMMER from USA wrote: "After much scrutiny, I must weigh this catchy, innovative and drum-heavy Euro pop-oriented music against the great Marco Minnemanns work with his Illegal Alien project; the similarities are striking. That being said, drummer Kalle Mathiesen is a strong, talented, and creative player. And the music is certainly more rhythmically and melodically interesting than most of todays pop. This is very inviting, forward-thinking music with exceptional drumming and lots of potential." Kalles World Tour is a two headed project. Head one is a progressive rock band with lots of drums and vocals. Head two is a one man show where Kalle plays a plasticbucket, a sack truck and 6 stringed bass. Sea of Tranquility from the USA wrote: "This is pretty offbeat stuff overall, with moments of brilliant Zappa-like complexity like on "Kotelet" or the symphonic rock meets Gryphon flavored "You've Heard all this Before", you can easily say there's never a dull moment. As good a drummer as Kalle is, it's his performance on the bass that is really surprising. Check out his melodic chops on the jazzy "Jeg går ikke på akkorder", where he does his best Jaco Pastorius impression and shows some real groove and dexterity. Prog and fusion fans will really dig the rhythmic yet spacey sounds of "My Life So Far", which features some nimble drum work, deep bass grooves, and plenty of keyboard samples. The live videos are a real hoot, with Kalle sitting on streetcorners with his bucket, cymbal, and sack truck, pounding away to a pre-recorded tape of keyboard samples. There's also footage from an actual concert, where he is performing a blistering drum solo. This CD is a must have for drummers who want to check out something a little different, and prog and fusion fans who like a little of the avant-garde."
