Bøyen Beng played on Karlsøya in 2004, and they have been on our wish
list ever since! They were contacted early on, and they're very
enthusiastic about coming back to Karlsøy and playing at the 10 year
anniversary.
Bøyen Beng grew out of the Blitz community in the 80's and had their
album debut in 1991 with ''Kjærlig Vårt Hat" (Lovely Our Hate) – A
record characterized like this: "If you're only going to buy one
Norwegian rock record in your life this one should be high up on your
list."
The punk scene in the late 80's was mostly into Hardcore, but Bøyen Beng
wasn't one to follow the norm; They played less aggressive, with more
sing-a-long and political Norwegian lyrics. The fiddle being one of
their key instruments they feel more at home in the category folk punk.
Stein Lillevolden said the following about Bøyen Beng «...They've always
made Blitz sweat, dance, sing, swing, swoosh and swagger with battle
lust and party vibes.»
They managed the same on Karlsøya in 2004 and we guarantee a great
comeback!
