Lama- Came Through Stone to get Here (live at Blå)
Lama is Nils Martin Larsen. Nils Martin Larsen is Lama.
A band that has evolved into its present form over the last 2 years.
That is two years of intense song-writing and studiowork to figure out what
the thoughts in my head sounds like. And here it is! More powerful than ever,
more pure than ever and music with roots all over the place!
The last 7 months has gone towards perfecting the live-portion of my beutiful Lama-land, and i am proud to present the result to you guys out there!
Live , Lama is an explosion. 6 people on stage, and enough instruments to make
the most eager musician blush. We are six people playing our hands, throats and feet
till they swell up. And i cant wait till as many of you as possible has witnessed this, my
proudest creation.
I am overwhelmed over the fact that i have been able to get these guys to play my music the way it was supposed to be played!
Goran Obad - guitars and effects
Andreas Løwe - rhodes, pedals, sqeeks and casio sk1
Jonas Vemøy - synths, glockenspiel, melodica and trumpet
Andreas Knudsrød - drums , triggers and samples.
Mats Greger - bass guitars
And i play guitars, reeds, keys, laptop and i sing.
we also have the nicest sound-tech in the world. mr Mads Størkersen
and the nicest light-tech and light-designer Per Marius Larsen. who happens to be
my brother as well..
So come on by to Lama-land!
The worlds loveliest festival Øya writes this about Lama. ;
"Nils Martin Larsen is a unique talent that up to now primarily has been famous for playing the keys in electronica jazz collective Jaga Jazzist, into which he was inducted at the age of eighteen. Three years down the road he has produced a handful of good songs which he presents in a world he refers to as Lamaland. On stage he has with him four other musicians who, in combination with the light design of Nils Martin’s brother, create a very special audiovisual live experience. Lama gave a very concert at Oslo venue Blå earlier this month, and we simply had to book them. When seeing Lama live, one can’t help but think of other quality acts. There’s no doubt that Lama is inspired by both Sigur Rós and Mew as well as Jaga Jazzist and Kim Hiorthøy. If you like one or more of these artists, then you’re sure to dig Lama. Welcome to Lamaland!"
i really really appreciate all the comments and kind words ive gotten in messages and comments by all you guys. and the flow of new members of the Lama family really gets to me. thank you so much.
thanks for listening to Lama..
thanks for spreading the Lama word.
regards, peace love & happiness .
respectfully
Nils // Lama

awesome! i can't wait man! :) nice to hear from you. and also, you can purchase my band Penguin Attack's cd on itunes as well!. www.myspace.com/penguinattackmusic gotta check that man.
We played Landmark. Great gig. I can send you Tom's info but you probably have it already. That would be kick ass if you Lama'd NattJazz. For sure. Fuck, I should just book your band a nice gig here and MAKE you come!!!!!
Man Nils, I was just in Bergen. Never made it to Oslo. Jim and I wanted to check you out and say hi. Tom at Natt Jazz knew who you were. Just know you were missed and yet so damn close. Hope you are good Lama my man. Come to freakin' New York already!!!!!!
Palace of Pleasure's new album 'Lifelong Fury' is available now! (Distributor: MusikkOperatørene) You can buy it direct from Drooling Cow Records or at a record shop or web store near you. If they don't have it, ask them to get it! Check the links to sales outlets at our MySpace site... . .
Å, de lar seg såvisst stemme. Det er bare det at de omtrent like enkle å stemme som kirkeorgler er. Det vil si at du må inn i magen på den og operere med pinsett - gjerne skifte ut noen deler og så videre. Et ustemt trekkspill har definitivt sin sjarm, sånn sett. :)
Alt bra her mann. Flytter til Norge i løpet av den neste måneden, så da kommer jeg på konsert ved første og beste anledning. Har jo fremdeles tilgode å se dere!
Haha, jeg har både fiolin og tilgang til diverse blås, men jeg tror det er lurt at jeg holder meg unna en god stund til. Dessuten er det skikkelig lett å spille Kaizers på dragspel - jeg kan lære deg en dag. :)
Vi sees rundt, og stikk gjerne innom Blå fredag! Da skal jeg være hjertelig og sånt.
JA! I morgen er det øving både med Einar og med Ponni-gjengen. Det går sakte når man ikke er noe vidunder fra før av, men sakte er trygt og godt av og til. Du kommer på slippfest på Blå fredag? :)
Haha. Well ill keep my fingers crossed. Maybe you could come and play End of the Road Festival over here? Theres actually a scandinavian tent! And im playing in the tent just next door! so that would be good! But again. I can only Hope.
And thank-you! And woopiee! I shall purchse this musical gift. Hopefully i will have one for you to purchase too in the not to distant future.
Hello Lama. I just popped in on your site to see how everything is going. And from the sounds of things, well. Your composition sounds amazing. I will certainly be wanting all of your albums just like i wanted all the jazzist albums. Hope it goes well. If i ever see you, Which is unlikely. but im a very posotive and hopeful person. So if i do! I would love to make some music with you.
