Jones Nielsen (or Jonas as his real name is) was a pleasant suprise amidst mediocre music at urørt. Apparently he was the first to secure himself a place in the urørt finale this year by seducing the jury with the song “TT”, which I’ve also shared here. He has also previously been featured at urørt with his band Kakkmaddafakka.
No, this is not Pippi Longstocking’s monkey, but a band with the same name.
It all started a few years ago when I went in to a store that sells used CD’s. Flipping through shelf after shelf filled with CDs, I had no idea what I was looking for, but that’s when I saw it; an album called Downhill Thrill by some band named Herr Nilsson (or Mister Nilsson, if you will). I had barely heard about them, All I knew was that they’re from Bergen. Despite not knowing remotely what they sounded like, I just knew that I had to buy this album. That’s not something I would live to regret.
