“Oceansize are one of this country’s most enthralling progressive-style bands. Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up (Superball Music/EMI) is a wonderful mix of brutal rhythms, ambient messages and sedate antagonism. It really is a creative force, and more proof of the vast pool of talent out there.” - Malcolm Dome from Classic Rock magazine UK

Last month, the Norwegian Blackjazz outfit Shining surprised the ever growing international jazz-metal scene by taking home the fabled “A-ha Grant”, after first shocking the living shit out of the audience of 80’000 people and about 1 million tv-viewers.
Even more shocking was the fact that A-ha, the most successful pop act every to come out of Norway (remember “Take On Me”?), themselves chose Shining as their favorite band. In addition to giving Shining 1 million Norwegian Kroner, A-ha have even invited them to open up for them on their big Farewell Arena Concert on Aug 21st in Oslo, Norway.
This famed performance of their single “The Madness and the Damage Done” is now finally available on YouTube. See what happened when Shining won 150’000 USD here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M3YK4YMpA0
Shining’s Jørgen Munkeby comments on this special event, including being denied the opportunity to perform live: ” Due to extreme time restrictions from the TV station, we were denied playing live. We argued until our heads almost fell off, to no avail. But since we play live shows all the time, this was actually a very fun thing for us to do! Then we could instead concentrate on what we were going to have for breakfast the next morning.”
