A general update from Blokk 5
Hi, everybody. It's been a while since our last update. We just want you to know that we are still alive, and very much so. Early in the summer we started working with our second album. It will probably take some time but it will be worth it. This is also the reason for the small amount of concerts we do these days. But there are a few exeptions. We are playing two concerts this fall. One in Oslo together with our friends Ontz and Nancy Drew from Kennel Collective, and one in Bergen.
