Bigbang originally hail from Norway, but these days, the band’s attentions are focused halfway across the globe, on the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Their new album, Edendale, is a nod to the neighborhood’s former name, along with its past as a major hub in the silent film industry.
Paradoxically, then, the band specializes in no-nonsense rock compositions that often start with a, um, bang, and rarely let up. “Call Me,” the second track off the album, can be streamed/downloaded here.
These guys are often touted as “Norway’s best live band,” something Stateside fans can witness for themselves come March, when the boys go on tour. Dates are below.
