The original members of Norwegian band Bel Canto have decided to team up for a special performance at the Døgnvill festival in their old hometown Tromsö above the polar circle. Geir Jenssen left Anneli Drecker and Nils Johansen in 1990 after the first two masterpiece albums "White-out Conditions" and "Birds of Passage", to release music under names like Biosphere and Bleep. - We are talking about doing old stuff from the two first albums and songs from the period 1990-2002. And we might also play some unreleased - and maybe even new stuff. It is too early to say now, Anneli Drecker says. - We contributed with an unrelased track for the compilation "Maskindans", which is a tribute to Norwegian synth bands from the 80:s. We discovered that we have many unreleased tracks and demos that could actually work today. Anneli is currently on the roads as a vocalist in Röyksopp, a band also originating from Tromsö. The Døgnvill festival takes place on September 2-4 and the program also includes A-ha, The Prodigy and Ozzy Osbourne.
