Hocksen Horsemen

When asked about the reason why he wants to be a rockstar, norwegian drummer-extraordinaire Finn Håkon Borgi hardly takes notice of the question, his only reply being a light raising-of-the-shoulders. He then proceeds to arrange his legs into a very relaxed sitting-posture more suited for- and commonly associated with elderly people. People that have spent their whole life doing hard physical labour, and they feel now that the only way they can relax their crooked bodies is by crossing their legs in a sort of feminin fashion, leaning their upper-body cruedly forward, while resting both elbows on the topside of the leg, just above the kneecap. The resulting posture is apparently also common among younger people from rural districts in Norway, as Mr. Borgi so clearly examplifies. "..-'Cause it's fuckin' fun" he finally let's out, his body-language signalling that not much more is going to be said about the topic at this point. Erlend Støylen Hølland, the band's notorius low-end thumper, has a slightly different take on the matter of rock stardom. There has been said about bassplayers that like their chosen frequency-spectre, they are deep creatures, full of afterthought and innsight. Alas, Hølland shows that there are little signs of truth in that statement. Instead he swiftly replies in a way that makes it seem like he's almost belching out the words, loud and with a minute touch of sarcasm; "-So that I get to stay up late..." Ok. I guess there might be some truth to it after all. Being a rockstar would probably give Mr. Hølland more time to indulge himself in his two other favorite activities: Fotball and beer. the first preferably english, the latter preferably norwegian.
