In 2007 we won the "Union Blues Cup" at the Notodden Blues Festival, and the following year we released our debut album "Hotter Than Georgia Asphalt" with special appearances by Norwegian guitar virtuoso Vidar Busk. The same year we also did several concerts with Vidar at Moldejazz, a festival that has since greeted us with open arms and sold-out crowds in both 2009 and 2010.
These days we're releasing our brand new EP "My Arrival" , with excerpts being listenable on this very page. We sincerely hope you all enjoy it!

Red Hot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I saw you
I hope I get what you deserve
And this is where I find
Smoke surrounds your perfect face
And I'm falling
Pushing a broom out into space
And this where I find the way
The stadium arcadium
A mirror to the moon (a mirror to the moon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warning
State of the art
Until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened
Both before and after noon (before and after noon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warning
Pushin' myself
And no I don't mind asking
Now
Alone inside my forest room
And it's storming
I never thought I'd be in bloom
But this is where I start
Derelict days and the stereo plays
For the all night crowd
That it cannot phase
And I'm calling
Tedious weeds that the media breeds
But the animal gets what the animal needs
And I'm sorry
The stadium arcadium
A mirror to the moon (a mirror to the moon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warning
State of the art
Until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened
Both before and after noon (before and after noon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming
Pushin' myself
And no I don't mind asking
Now
And this is where I find
Rays of dust that wrap around
Your citizen
Kind enough to disavow
And this is where I stand
The stadium arcadium
A mirror to the moon (a mirror to the moon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warning
State of the art
Until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened
Both before and after noon (before and after noon)
And I'm forming and I'm warning
Pushin' myself
And no I don't mind asking
The stadium arcadium
A mirror to the moon (a mirror to the moon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warning
State of the art
Until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened
Both before and after noon (before and after noon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warning
To you
The lyrics to "Stadium Arcadium" by Red Hot Chili Peppers are open to interpretation, as with many of their songs. The opening lines mention bells around Saint Petersburg, and the singer hopes to get what the object of his affection deserves. Smoke is described as surrounding the perfect face of said object of affection, and the singer is falling. He then pushes a broom out into space and finds a way to the stadium arcadium, which is described as a mirror to the moon - a state of the art location until the clouds come crashing. The singer admits that stranger things have happened both before and after noon, but he's not afraid to push himself and no mind asking. He finds himself alone in a forest room in the midst of a storm, and he acknowledges that he is in bloom at this point.
The singer notes that derelict days and the stereo play for the all-night crowd, but it can't phase him. He calls out the tedious weeds that the media breeds, but acknowledges that the animal gets what the animal needs, and apologizes for it. Rays of dust are described as wrapping around a citizen, who is kind enough to disavow. And this is where the singer stands - at the stadium arcadium.
One interpretation of the song is that it's about the journey of self-exploration and self-discovery. The singer is wandering through unknown territory, trying to find their way to the stadium arcadium, which could represent their ultimate destination or goal. They encounter obstacles and distractions along the way but push themselves to keep going. The lyrics could also be about seeking validation and recognition, with the bells around Saint Petersburg representing an external recognition of worth. The singer acknowledges the influence of the media but doesn't let it deter them from their path.
