Did you know Bergen has it's own answer to the Hacidena, and many of the bands at by:larm this year are either workers or regulars there.

The bar is called Vamoose and people that work there also play in the bands The Megaphonic Thrift, Casiokids, The New Wine, KAKKMADDAFAKKA, Hypertext, Matias Tellez and Katinka. Most nights you will find those bands there aswell as most of Blood Command, Manheads, Lars Vaular and Skatebård.

Erlend Øye is the official mascot, Mikal Telle resident straight-edge and Bjørn Hellfuck is banded...

I guess that should read Hacienda...

Other notable Vamoose! regulars include Kings Of Convenience, The Alexandria Quartet, Catastrophes, and Bloody Beach.
