Biography
Suspicious For The Winter is a project formed from two of Oslo´s freshest indie bands, Casa Murilo and Like Spinning. They met one sunny Saturday afternoon whilst playing a rather surreal concert on a tram, as part an of an eco-conservation festival in Oslo. Kari was playing some sort of tiny keyboard with The Little Hands Of Asphalt whilst at the other end of the carriage Chris, Dan and Håkon from Casa Murilo were showing the world that standing up and playing guitar on a moving tram was, whilst not an easy task, more than achievable.
Some months later, after both bands had been included on Spoon Train Audio´s "Oslo 2!" compilation, they started to play together in the winter months around the city and at Christmas markets. A friendship was formed and Suspicious For The Winter was born.

SHORT INTERVIEW:
1. Tell us the story about the song (all the details, please!)
2: why did you choose to work together, and how did you meet?
Back in September Kari, Dan and Chris met whilst playing a gig on a tram for Natur og Ungdom then, a few weeks later, we bumped into each other at the Oslo 2 release party. After that we played a few shows together and got on really well with each other so it just seemed like the obvious thing to do.
3: Do you have plans to do more music together?
Both bands have pretty solid individual plans for 2010, Like Spinning are hoping to have their debut EP out around easter time and Casa Murilo will be going back into the studio at some point in the next few months. But who knows! Never say never.
Other comments?
Just to say that we really appreciate being a part of "Between Two Waves". Eardrums does a lot of great work for the Norwegian independant music scene so to help out on a project like this is great. The pleasure is all ours!
