Started his career as a radio DJ in 1987 on legendary Brygga Radio in Tromsø. Torske became a producer/artist in 1991, and since then has released three albums and several remixes and singles. In his live set you will be able to hear morsels of old and new mixed together specially for the SEAS audience. You should expect quality dance music from his DJ set, everything from Bach to Neubauten, and very weird dub disco.
Pernille Sparboe
Recently, Pernille Sparboe has been receiving attention in Tromsø’s music scene, with her distinct voice and exceptionally high quality songs. Since 2008 she has played concerts in her hometown, both with a backing band and alone with only her voice and guitar. Pernille is a unique artist who manages to combine tough compositions with big hit-potential. The music is catchy and beautiful, and it feels so right! This accomplished musician does it all herself; she is the songwriter, composer, singer and guitarist. The result is new and exciting, while at the same time is within a known sound and format. This way she hits a nerve with a wide audience. This is an artist with great integrity, and with large potential.

Which genre Pistol & Bart belong to, no one knows, but the music has been described by audiences and critics as intelligent singer/songwriter-hip hop. The duo call their concerts “fairytale evenings for grown-ups” and so far they have arranged these fairytale sessions in places ranging from intimate small bars to outdoor stages to the living room of our very own Mayor. Egil ‘Drillo’ Olssen is one of Pistol & Bart’s fans, are you?
