Interesting, looking forward to it!

I think I won't preorder this time though, none of the bundles look too appealing. I'm fairly sure they'll be selling this one next time I see them, that's when I'll get it.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

I don't have any use for Vinyls or casettes so I preordered the Bigger CD bundle. Partly to support Marjana, partly because I like tshirts, totebags and stuff....

Excited as hell. Getting solo albums from both Marjana and Gleb in addition to iatm albums means three counts of this unique, good music they make.

I love it, fantastic. (mind you, I've yet to familiarise myself with iatm, but it will be worthwhile I'm sure. Marjana's timbre and phrasing are great IMHO)

Had a fantastic time at the last show of the The Flower Kings, iamthemorning and Rickard Sjöblom tour on saturday.

Fantastic night out in Stockholm, first a meet up with 15 other progressive music lovers talking over a dinner at O'Leary's and then a concert with three fantastic acts.

First Rickard Sjöblom with Marjana Semkinas guitar playing some Beardfish and Gungfly songs. Then he is joined by Jonas Reingold for a Big Big Train song. And then Roine Stolt, Zack Kamins and Mirkko de Maio join in for Björn Json Linds Brusa högre lilla å..... beautiful

Then comes iamthemorning, the Russian duo Marjana Semkina and Gleb Kolyadin who on this tour were accompanied by the amazing Evan Carson and a Cello player that I did not get the name of. Utterly spellbinding show, though too short. Hope they come back in the near future.
I think they got a better reception than they had expected, the cheers did not want to end.

And The Flower Kings.... probably the best concert I have seen with them so far. Stardust We are..... so great!!!
Also great to see Hasse Bruniusson guesting on The Truth Will Set You Free.
And as a closer everyone comes up on stage and does The Beatles song Long and Winding Road.

Wow..... marvellous concert

I have plugged Evan Carsons album Ocipinski on FB tagging him.
He recognised me at the front of the audience and came up to me after the iamthemorning gig, took my hand and thanked me for all the support.

After the show I got Ocipinski signed by both Evan and Gleb and got a very nice chat with them both covering lot's of ground, espescially interresting to hear some of their plans for the future.
I also talked a bit to Marjana.

I'm quite sure it was this setlist (did not take notes but looks right to me):

Touching II
Sleeping Beauty
Blue Sea
5/4
Freak Show
Salute
Chalk and Coal
K.O.S.

Short but sweet.... loved hearing the new songs
The older songs were also played  in Malmö last year but with this setting it was like hearing them fresh....

Didn't have an opportunity to listen yet, need to do it on weekend before my trip to St. Petersburg. Wonder if I can pick up the album there, I should actually write to the band and ask them I guess.

$8 for a four song download?  Yikes.  Sounds good though.

I paid a lot more but then I will get a CD, a mask, a beanie and socks.

The EP is good and the proceeds will finance the next full album

Gleb Kolyadin is performing in Moscow tomorrow with the presentation of his solo album, Water Movements, and the circumstances aligned for me so I'll be there, got a ticket for the front row! Excited to see live concert for a change, it's been a while. I wonder if I'll be able to talk to Gleb or that'll be shut down due to the Covid restrictions, we'll see.

Update for SwedishGoose and other two fans frequenting this thread: I did talk to Gleb (signed my copy of Water Movements too). He said he has a new, more full-fledged solo album written already. If everything works out, it may even be released this winter. He said it'll be more in a jazz-prog vein. I asked about possible guests, he said Evan Carson is a given, no information about others yet though.

Oh, that is great news.... would love a new album by Gleb and love when he and Evan cooperate

Terrible things happening in the iamthemorning camp now.

Gleb is on tour with Belarusian band Bi-2 and all of them have been arrested in Thailand over some issues with papers.

They are thretend with deportation to Russia.

See Marjana's post here about how you can help:

Oh shit, I saw the B-2 news but didn't know Gleb was touring with them as a session keyboard player. This doesn't look good at all. I hope he doesn't get deported back here, I expect the government here to make an example of the band if they get deported to Russia, and I don't expect the government to know the difference between band members and session musicians.

Marjana shared the news with her Patreons on discord yesterday.
Feels like such a nightmare since then.

I really hope the deportation threat is not realized.

That would probably be the end of iamthemorning.

I'd be worried if that was really some kind of a setup and they're trying to make an example of them, that it could happen again if they continue to tour globally, and possibly with a less happy ending next time.

Thailand should definitely be out of any former russians schedules.

I think the russian consul hoped that with thailand beeing one of few countries where russian tourists are welcome that they could excert power.

Luckily a lot of other agents got involved and the russian plans did not work this time.

I guess both Bi-2 and Gleb will think twice about any touring plans in the future. Any musiscians with russian citizenship should be cautious after this.

Marjana had a really nice patreon zoom hangout yesterday where she played som covers on acustic guitar, Norwegian Wood (Beatles), My Ashes (Porcupine Tree) and On the Turning Away (Pink Floyd) were some of them.
But she also talked a lot and answered questions.

Very nice hang out and there is some interresting things coming up.

Gleb wasn't there this time but he seems fine although Marjana thought the full impact of what happened had not sunk in yet.

There is soon a concert by iamthemorning in London on the 14th.... whish I could go.
