We know what you’re thinking…
…probably something along the lines of “you lazy bastards…”
And yes, we will admit to that, at least in terms of web-communication the last couple of weeks. BUT – in a poor atempt to explain our recent negligence – we have in the same aforementioned period been playing some fun gigs (from our perspective) in Krakow (Poland), Rijeka (Croatia) & Ljubliana (Slovenia), all which have granted us some fond memories and new friends. Thanks for that & bless you all!
Well, that hardly explains why we’ve been so slow in providing updates, but as long as this forum is called “the Idle Hour Club”, we feel excused. Without being arrogant, that is. For those who have missed us – here’s a behind-the-scenes photo, as some sort of compensation.
We sat like this for two hours straight. Then we went home.
So, tonight it’s Athens (Greece) – in about 1 hour I might add – and tomorrow we’re going to Istanbul (Turkey). We are excited & hungry as always…
Best,
Señors B + B
Haha..amazing…

June 21st, 2009 at 11:49 am
It’s not easy to share your music with the world,but it’s the right thing to do!
June 21st, 2009 at 8:55 pm

looking forward to your show in Moscow
June 21st, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Takk for One Love-konserten!! Vi sto midt i kjernen blandt publikum og kunne oppleve hvordan tyrkerne ELSKER dere! Fantastisk allsang! Utrolig gøy å være nordmann i Istanbul i kveld!
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:12 am
Your music is magical!
Last night in One Love Istanbul was one of my best moments.. Thanks for making me feel soooo goood…

June 22nd, 2009 at 12:50 pm
One love fest. gig was the one of the greatest show that i’ve ever seen. Also thanks for the two biss.
cheers guys!
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:27 pm
from Milan to Rijeka just to see the lazy bastards…
Ehi you norwegian magician guys…. we need minimum one concert in Italy.
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:02 pm
When I saw the word “Krakow” I thought that I’m going crazy. This was the best festival I’ve ever seen!!!!! U were amazing, hope you will come to Warsaw, pleassse do that
:):) Take Karin D. with you 
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:54 pm
You guys are looking drunk here, especially Svein, he he
)
What is with this remix of robot with Lilly Alen? She is not your rank, her voice near Robyn is sadly comic. Please don t do this stuff again, persons like Alen are not your level, let them stay on covers of tabloids and other shit like that.
Hope I will never see you two on some stupid magazine.
And thanks for show in Rijeka, it was great!! Respect and kisses both of you.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Your live performance is amazing.I realized i havent ever listen your music please come again.Also thanks for the drum stick:DD
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:43 am
Yes Moonnippy, you’re absolutely right – I’ve misspelled ‘Ljubljana’, shame on me! I sincerely appologize & I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone…It won’t happen again. xS
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:43 am
Backstage photo from Kraków! It does show your mood from the scene, you should come back quickly! ‘
June 23rd, 2009 at 6:34 pm
The show in Kraków was abesolutely fantastic, and even though I have been having problems with hearing after concert – it really was wort it
And “Tremor morning” played at about 3 a.m. totally knocked me out 
Oh, and Svein, You had a wondreful haircut :*
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Dear Svein,
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa…. I didn’t mean to be rude at all nor impolite. I just wanted to thank you for the unique experience at Hartera, but then I noticed an opportunity to fulfill my daily quota of kindness, so when I had to make choice between your misspelling correction and managing situation in Iran, I choose shortcut and the rest is history … I know it’s bad life strategy and that I’ll never be promoted for supreme being, but it’s not easy to be nippy nowadays:(. I know, there is no excuse for me, so now I’m going to punish myself in an appropriate way:(
PS
I won’t correct yours or anyone else spelling anymore, and you can misspell any Slovenian name as often as you want, concerning the most of your Croatian fans (including me):)
PS2
Lots of regards to Anneli – she made such a fantastic performance in Rijeka. Btw, is there any deeper meaning in this owl costume during Tricky Tricky?
June 24th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
You were just great in Athens… Please come back once more…
June 24th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
great picture, love the jackets^^
your shows looked amazing on youtube… i wish i could see you guys live though :/
it looks like you’re pretty busy the rest of this year, but i’ll be in moscow between january and april
you should try to have another russian show around that time!
( i know that’s not really how writing up a tour schedule works; i’m just saying…
)
June 25th, 2009 at 2:30 am
“We know what you’re thinking…” – well, you didn’t read my mind ;p
ANYWAY!
Thanks you for being in Poland (for the first time, yaay)… although I wasn’t there xD (I was even supposed to commit suicide for this reason… but meh*)
(yeah, that was joke. I know it wasn’t funny xD)
by the way of this concert: the ones which were there are saying that you played “tremor mornings” and are trying to persuade me that this song will be on the “Senior”, but I know that it is remix of “Arctic Cirlcle”, right? So, my point is: what it’s about with this song? Should we expect it on “Senior”?
Uh-huh, and another:
Torbjorn, you’ve just made my day ;D
** sorry for my horrible english, i love u anyway xD
June 26th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
uh-oh, I forget to mention: your interwiev in (for?at? whatevah) Senkveld was just… you know, epic ;D
“nudity?” hahaHAHA
lov u, guys
June 26th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Dear Nippy – There was no irony or critique in my reply to your comment:) – I take great pride in spelling the name of the places I’ve been correct;)
And I will bring your regards to Anneli – yes, she’s truly remarkable!
Hope things will go your way and that the punishment you brought onto yourself wasn’t too severe:)
All the best,
Svein
June 26th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
show in rijeka was ubercool!
the atmosphere, the show, your effort (drums!!!) and enthusiasm showed you were playing with all your heart and you definitely stand behind what you are doing!
to me it seemed as if you are playing in front of 65 000 people in glastonbury and not on local, independent venue!
looking forward to ’senior’ and more live gig’s
cheers
June 26th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
btw, one question: any plans on doing live show with karin dreijer?
i
June 26th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
this is the first time i’m visiting your website, hello there
i just remembered out of nowhere that i used to love your songs, but sadly haven’t listened to them in a while. but i want to make up for it ;P so i was looking for your tour dates this year. no wonder you don’t have time to write on your blog, you seem to be playing everywhere at once. way to go!^^ even japan, fuji rock! it’s supposed to be incredible, i’m definitely gonna go there someday! all the best, and as the japanese would say: ganbatte ne!
June 27th, 2009 at 1:26 am
cool
June 27th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
WHAT?! I ate ALL those chocolates for NOTHING????????? I just can’t believe it!!!!!….now I’m reeeeaaaaally depressed:( … the serotonin level in my blood is so low that I must continue with this nemesis:) …life is sooooo cruel….
well, dear Svein,
have a great time touring this summer … I can’t wait to see what Torbjorn & you’ll bring us in the future… I hope, a lot of fantastic stuff and collaboration with, among others, these amazing “junior” ladies.
…. I should go now and try to do something for the world peace, rather than bother you…. bye-bye
