On the evening of June 24th, 2012, I had the pleasure to interview Alexander Skepp and Gabriel Tapper, respectively drummer and bassist of Swedish outfit Gösta Berlings Saga, whose career-defining performance on the morning of the same day – the closing day of the festival – wowed the audience and earned them many new fans. While their bandmates, guitarist Einar Baldursson and keyboardist David Lundberg (who is also a member of Änglagård), remained downstairs to man the band’s vendor table, Gabriel and Alexander kindly answered my questions while sitting at an outside table on the Zoellner Arts Center’s third floor.
As it was my first attempt at a video interview, I apologize to my readers if the quality of the final product is not stellar. However, I hope the content of the interview will make up for any technical shortcomings.
My god your voice sounds even sexier on videotape. If ever your career in prog reviewing doesn’t pan out…….. hahahhaha
Great interview. I learned so much about this wonderful band in your interview.
I hope to do a video interview with the Herd one day soon!
All hail the great HERD of Instinct! YEAH! A Video Interview would be great!
If they ever get to play some festival, I’d be glad to interview them again – this time with better equipment :P. Thank you for the kind words!
Bring……Gösta Berlings Saga to Progday! Bravo great interview very informative and great guys. I wish I were there to see them play!
Thanks for the thoroughly enjoyable interview.
It was great to hear what they had to say and to watch that dude smoke butts.
They were certainly one of the high points of NEARFest (along with Aranis and Anglagard).
