LADIES AND GANGSTERS
We are sick and tired of hanging out in Oslo, and have decided to hit the road with our new album. Playing live has always been what it’s all about for us, and we miss it a lot. Our friends Alex Kloster-Jensen and Cato Salsa will join us on guitars and organ, Mikael Megaton and Anders Möller will make select appearances along the way. Our European tour will start on May 1st at Dauwpop in Holland and go on for about a month or so ending at the Norwegian Wood festival in Oslo on Saturday June 14. The tour will almost certainly take us to Germany, Holland, Greece, Belgium, Switzerland and Denmark, but it’s still being booked so more countries and dates for Norwegian and European festivals will be added. As things have changed dramatically since Robert’s death last year we find it better to take things step by step and not to make too many promises about the future. However, we’re eager to get back on the road with our friends, and to meet you good people. Hope to see you soon.

VÅr kjÆre venn, Robert Burås, gikk bort 12.07.07.
Han ble 31 År gammel.

Robert viet sitt liv til musikken. Han var gitarist og låtskriver i Madrugada i 12 år. Det siste året brukte han til sitt band My Midnight Creeps, samt låtskriving og innspilling av et nytt Madrugada-album. Robert gikk bort i en tid da han var på sitt mest kreative. Gjennom det han har gjort på plate, og fra scenen i inn- og utland har han satt et evig preg på norsk rockhistorie. Alle som kjente og jobbet sammen med Robert vil huske han som et generøst og varmt menneske som levet og åndet for musikken. Vi er mange som er glade i Robert og som i dag har det fryktelig tungt. Robert vil alltid være en del av oss, og han vil alltid være savnet.

Våre tanker går til hans nærmeste familie. Vi ber nå om at Roberts familie og venner får ro i sorgen.

OUR beloved friend, Robert BurÅs, passed away on 12 July 2007. He was 31 years old.
Robert dedicated his life to music. He was guitarist and composer in Madrugada for 12 years. He spent this last year on his band My Midnight Creeps and also on composing and recording a new Madrugada album. Robert passed away at a time when he was at his most creative. Through his recorded work and from stages both domestic and international, he made his eternal mark on Norwegian rock history.

Everyone who knew him and worked with him will remember him as a generous and warm person who lived and breathed for music. There are many of us who cared a lot for Robert who are having an extremely hard time today.Robert will always be a part of us and he will always be deeply missed. Our thoughts and sympathy are with his family. We request that Robert's family may be left to grieve in peace.

OK OK OK OK......what can we say?
But many of you already know what has been or is happening or going to happen (would someone tell us too about the future???).....we couldn’t be more thrilled with the endless and boundless creativity coming from the Mad Ones. Sivert’s new Number 1 solo album “Exiles” is almost double platinum. Robert’s alter ego Bobby Cagehill’s and Alex Kloster-Jensens’s My Midnight Creeps will be attacking your aural senses very soon. Tour dates from both are being lined up and the future outside of Norway will always be up to you....the fans. In the meantime, the Live From Tralfamadore DVD has been Number 1 for two weeks in Greece. Expect special treatment for the fans in the coming months. Frode is producing some others while getting the Madrugada HQ studio even more together.

SUMMER ENDS....
Summer ends......like all good things one phase ends and another begins. Madrugada has finished their last tour date on the books and will now hunker down into sorting out their studio a bit to start work on the next album. Frode is taking care of this. Sivert has some solo material to finish up before release and Robert with My Midnight Creeps are getting ready to start mixing the album in a few weeks. Everything from now until the end of the year will be in preparation for all of these good things and plan to some solo tour dates hopefully when the time comes. It has been an incredible year and half which means we need to take a breather and see where we came from and where we are going. Sort of like a groundhog does in Spring. Before that, some heavy relaxation is in order to clear the brain. Keep the faith and be good. We’ll keep you up to speed if anything wild happens!

Dear all,
Apologies for being so crap at updating this section. We beg your forgiveness. Time has been whirring and whizzing by with so much activity that it would make something that looks quite busy look like something that is standing still. Do not blame the band as this is a managerial oversight which will be duly punished by several alcohol unit deductions.

Our big whoop international date is Tuesday 15.08.06 Paredes de Coura Festival, Portugal on a superb bill with Morrissey, Fischerspooner, Broken Social Scene, (Madrugada), Gomez and White Rose Movement. Come say hello and howdy.

Back to all the conundrums of everyday life....Robert is recording a new My Midnight Creeps album to follow the notoriusly acclaimed first album. Rave reviews from their recent Roskilde show!! Sivert is recording a solo album co-produced with Head, Fredrik Viklund and himself. Frode has been busy producing a local Oslo artist to be revealed. Busy with many Norway festival dates which are now finished up with a spot thing here and there before a well deserved break before more work and writing for hopefully a new Madrugada album late 2007. Please be patient as there will enough music to go around from the solo releases.

So beneath the quiet dormant exterior of what you see, there is a bubbling churning caldron of monumental activity. Again accept our apologies and hang in there for what appears to bevy of activity.

Who would have thought?

Madrugada has won been the Spellemannsprisen (Norwegian Grammy) for Artist Of The Year as well as the award for Best Rock “The Deep End” and Best Song “Lift Me” which has capped a truly extraordinary year. This comes right on the heals of the Alarm Awards (Alternative Indie) for Best Rock Album and Best Song “Kids Are On High Street”.

“Live At Tralfamadore” continues to ride at Number 1 on the album charts and double platinum What can we say? All good things to those who wait..... We are looking forward to the upcoming Norwegian tour (a couple surprises in store!) and planning for the future. We are not going to rest on our laurels.

Thank you so much and most importantly to you...our fans. We aim to make you proud..
