Dont know if you heard it, but Ben and Christian were at P4 today and they played the new a1 song, "Take you home". It was quite different than their other stuff, but still great.

Yea. I missed the show but I got the song They're on Waschera right now, but I'm not watching On I Kveld tonight, don't know if I'll be able to see that either. But NRK is easy watching later. TV2 aren't quite as big on that.. But I'm sure something will be put up, and they'll give a link themselfs on Facebook/Twitter when available.
As for the song... Can't say I love it exactly. It's not bad, it's just not amazing. It's different from their old stuff (sounds more like something they'd put as a b-side on one of their singles back when) but it's not different from everything else I have heard. Still, it's awesome that it's them (Altho I can't help but miss Paul..)

On wascheras website they usually upload their shows on the right side. So you can watch waschera again when todays show gets uploaded there. Gutted that they did not perform the song, but it was good watching them on tv again.
I have to agree with you that it isn't amazing, I know they can do better than that. But still it's great to have them back releasing stuff.

Do they put up the entire show? Last time they were on I only found two cips, one with part of the interview (I know it was only part of it coz I actually saw that one and there was more on tv) and the song. *goes to look*
From Facebook, in respond/comment to one of their statuses: "hey all, we would love to do concerts in every country, but we cant be in 2 places at once. norway were the first to ask, but we are all planning to bring the new single, album and concert to as many places as possible, so watch this space............"
(Gotta think Ben typed that.. No capitals, lots of dots... ) So they're officially back??! It's not just these few gigs, there's more gigs, in other places. And a full on album with everything that includes. Dare we hope for a second album?
That's exactly what I'm thinking about the song. It's not amazing, but good enough. They could do better, but it's great just having them back.

I've seen both clips and whole shows on there, but they can have changed it to just clips. Don't know really.
In the interview with waschera Ben said they were working on getting an album out. I hope it's not just something he said. Would be really good with a new a1 album. And on Bens studios twitter it says that a1 are back because they have a deal with Universal.

This time I found the whole show. I am amazed at how decent the hosts were with them. I don't watch it often, but everytime I do, the hosts always seem to hyper and annoying and all over the place and I don't know, and they were this time to, but not so much to them. They were able to actually get thru and do a decent intrview. Nice.
I haven't seen I Kveld yet, vid's not working for me. I'll keep trying. I like Christian Strand a lot better than the Waschera people
I do keep hearing of this album. I love it Really? He said that?? *runs to twitter*

I liked the I kveld interview much better than the waschera one. When you watch i kveld you should click on the one with "ettersnakk" because it shows a bit more then the one that was aired.
Ben actually said again on I kveld that they are working towards an album. But guesss we'll have to wait and see. Just doesn't hope it'll be like Bens solo career, one single and then nothing more.

Yea...and quite a flop of a single too.... He should never have gone with Sorry as a (first) single. He should have done I Don't Wanna Stay right away.
I haven't been able to see the I Kveld one yet, my lap top doesn't like NRK for some reason.. So I'll try now as I'm at home on the other comp
They were on X Factor yesterday, which was awesome! The song was amazing live (it has grown on me, I like it better now, but it/they was/were truly awesome live), and they seemed to really enjoy being there, and I am so excited for the consert now!!
They were also on Fredag yesterday, they didn't mention that on FB (not as far as I could see anyway) so I just randomly found out. And there, Ben again was talking about the album, and, if I understood him correctly, he said that he was about to get his solo album out there too, but then this happened so he'd put it on hold. I have no idea if I heard that right, but that's how I interpreted it. The way he made it sound, stuff were about to happen now, it was not Sorry and that whole mess, it was more recent. I haven't heard any of that before..... Which is why I'm not sure I got it right....

Yeah, I don't wanna stay would have done so much better than Sorry. Not that Sorry wasn't a good song, 'cause it was, but it just shouldn't have been released as a first single.
I watched that too. And he did make it sound like he was about to release something on his own more recent than sorry. But on the other hand it could be something he was just saying. But if I remember right he said back in the sorry days that he meant releasing sorry was a wrong move, but it had been what the record company wanted.
