Hedvig Mollestad Trio are eager to liberate the melodies from their fourth album on this release concert in Melodonten. In this split gig, Moonopedro and the Sinking Ship also invite the audience into its eclectic world of music. Hedvig Mollestad trio are renowned for their monumental stage presence, with guitarist Hedvig Mollestad’s lightning riffs, bassist Ellen Brekken’s powerfully dynamic, lightly dancing bass lines and drummer Ivar Loe Bjørnstad’s hyperactive octopus arms. Jazz metal, or “Jazz Sabbath” as music magazine Classic Rock defined them, rock, freebag, doomjazz, stonerswing – for every album the trio releases, new genres and permutations are unleashed in an attempt to classify some of their music. Poet, musician and writer Pedro CarmonaAlvarez has released music under the name Moonpedro and the Sinking Ship since 2007. The Chilean-Norwegian artist became known to many as vocalist of the band Sister Sonny in the 1990s. This February, Moonpedro and the Sinking Ship released the album Let’s, pig to great reviews.
