Dear peeps!
We are happy to announce that our little flea market raised 14.670 kroners for the orphanage children here in Bergen! The auction it self raised 7480,- on Friday!
For years the youngsters in the project “Kom nærmere” have wanted to travel to a school in Denmark for young people with special needs. They have been invited down to perform their art there many times. We are very happy we could participate making this dream come true! Read More
After requests we have decided to make it possible to bid on items prior to our humble auction Friday. You can find a list for this at the flea market area in Sardinen and sign up there.
We keep receiving more funky stuff for our market and auction; very rare picture discs and CD box sets limited edition, band related jeweleries, stage clothes from Bergen based artist and more!
The auction will start in Sardinen at 20:45, just after The Devil’s Blood go off stage.
This is the first time we have done (or even been to!) an auction, so we expect some funny moments! Don’t miss out, and join us raising money for this great cause!
HOLE IN THE SKY NEEDS YOUR FLEAS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR BERGEN CHILDREN IN
ORPHANAGE CARE!
This year Hole in the Sky festival is presenting a new concept. As some of you might know already, the festival has its own under age stage Saturday 28th with HITS for Kidz. The HITS board has wanted to work more towards the young part of Bergen music scene, and has decided to try something new; a metal vintage flea market!
All the money raised will in total be donated to a project in Bergen called “Kom nærmere” (English: “come closer”). This is a group consisting of children that are in or has been in orphanage care. The group is established to provide organizational and financial framework for the theatre / musical activities directed at disadvantaged children and young people in Bergen and the surrounding area.

Their two demos «Satanic Blood» and «Blood Angel» are among the most unique releases in Black Metal ever, songs like «Lamb», «Devil Pig», «Veadtuck» and «Watain» have never been copied or bettered in all their minimalistic, hypnotic glory.
