Bikubesong (translated: Song from the beehive) was one of the most successful plays in Norwegian modern history and was an adaptation from Frode Gryttens novel by the same name. The play was sewn together by a lot of Smiths (and one Morrissey solo) songs. The play (and the book) is a loving tribute to the Smiths.
Now, the band from that play, including actor Hans Rønningen (who had the lead role as M, a huge The Smiths fan) are reuniting for one, propably final gig. At the bar Revolver in Oslo and their Mr. Shankly's Social Club, they will perform a bunch of Smiths songs on Thursday 17 June.
The musicians usually play in other great (and some are a bit Smiths influenced bands), and they are:
Rune Berg (The Margarets) and Børge Sildnes (Dylan Mondegreen) on guitars, Per Amund Solberg (Number Seven Deli/Ephemera) on bass and Trond Slåke (Orango) on drums.
