Hello, I am a long time french fan. When I say i am a fan, I mean i bought nearly all album and ep. I think Flunk music filled my life with positive vibes. Music for sleepyheads only ! In my opinion last album isn't the best (because darker ?) but Cardboard Rebel and Shoreline are better and better each time i listen them.

11 maja premierę będzie mieć kolejny album Flunk „This Is What You Get”. Jak podaje Vidar Hanssen z Beatservice Records na płycie znajdzie się 11 utworów utrzymanych w klimacie bardziej elektronicznym, a mniej popowym niż ostatnie dwa albumy grupy. I właśnie z okazji tej premiery, w klubie Parkteatret, w Oslo również 11 maja o 21-szej rozpocznie się koncert Flunk. Bilet 80 NOK (w granicach 38 – 42 zł). Natomiast 15 maja Flunk wystąpi znacznie bardziej na północy – w Cafe Circa, w Tromso - miejscowości w której siedzibę ma Beatservice Records. Pozwoliłem sobie dodać oba wydarzenia na last.fm. Pozdrawiam!
