Uppsalas Fria Orkester & Lukas Häger Solo: full live sets now available to stream!

On Thursday, September 1st, 2022 some of our top favourites musicians have gathered and played live at Kulturhuset Femman in Uppsala: Pelle Åhman, Gottfrid Åhman, Uno Bruniusson (of course of In Solitude - here respectively on percussions/flute/noise, on guitar and on drums) with Bengt Blomberg (on synthesizer) , Markus Ahlbom (on guitar and cornette), Svante Pihl (on bass guitar) and Simon Sporrong (on keys and trumpet) have performed together as Uppsalas Fria Orkester, delivering a truly mesmerizing live set that you can now stream on Markus' YouTube channel.
More than one hour of live performance, effortlessly morphing from loungy to bluesy to downright swirling jazzy, making you chill than making you swing and making its way into your ears and mind. (If this was a substance, we'd be surprised if it was legal.) Get your headphones on and keep the pace if you can:

But that's not all: on the same evening Lukas Häger (Spine of Reveal! / No Future / End All Parties) has performed as well one of his solo live sets and the full audio recording of this is available as well to listen (thanks once again to Markus!).
Imagine a peculiar set of its own nature which blends blues atmospheres, moving melodies, introvert melancholic moments with almost 'grung-y' passages (!) and a bit of experimentalism sprinkled here and there, well, really... you have to listen to this one. You'll be impressed.

After In Solitude

In Solitude, 2015

Here on Unearthed Mirrors, we are often asked what In Solitude members have been up to after the band split up in 2015.
Definitely, things have been artistically moving, evolving and spreading in several different directions for most of them: in this post we will try to list (and present, to those who are unaware of) the artistic activities they have been, and are, involved in, as solo projects or as part of other bands/collaborations.
