madrugada: industrial silence

This list is updated when new information surfaces, and does not claim to be one hundred percent accurate. Though efforts are made to keep this list error-free, information is mostly taken from second-hand sources, and experience has shown that errors will occur every now and then.

Notes -

Release-concert of sorts for the new "Madrugada" album, with about 700 specially-invited guests and fans who had won tickets through the official webpage. First Madrugada-concert after Robert Burås passed away half a year earlier. The band performed the new album in its entirety, but naturally skipping Robert's "Our Time Won't Live That Long" and replacing it with the b-side from the "Look Away Lucifer" single, "Caravan."

Notes -

Madrugada performed on the talk-show "Grosvold," broadcast on the tv-station NRK1. The song was supposed to be released as a single around the time of the performance, but was delayed for a month, and then indefinitely. The performance was pre-recorded, and had to be done twice, including a false start.
