A new Triakel site

 A new Triakel site is under construction and will be presented this spring. Please be patience. If you need us, contact janne at triakel.se

 
A really cool concert

For the third time in history Triakel is doing a concert in a venue made of snow and ice. Expected temperature is about 5 degrees below zero. The photo is from our last performance in the Tännforsen igloo when Emma is warming up on an ice-organ. If you are up to it, join us in Tännforsen outside Åre January 31 at 6 PM.

 
346 days to Christmas

346 days to next Christmas and we are already longing. This photo is from a Christmas concert in the beautiful church of Gammelstad, Luleå (December 2008). If you are a promoter, now is the time to book your 2009 Christmas concert with Triakel. We’re looking forward to hear from you!

 
Back from the US

 This years Nordic Roots Festival in Minneapolis was special in many ways. Hoven Droven and Väsen were there as usual and so was Triakel but it was the 10th and very last (as it looks now), next year the Cedar Cultural Centre will present a Global Roots Festival instead. For Emmas child Hampus it was the first Nordic Roots and also his first time in the US. He seemed very pleased and hopefully Triakel featuring Hampus will be back in the U.S soon again.

 
New song

Triakel has had the honour to record Mattias Wargs song Mötet for a documentary film with same name produced at DI (National University College of Film, Radio, Television and Theatre). Here is where you exclusively can listen to it. Mötet

 
Sold Out
Attendance record both at Stallet in Stockholm and Malmö Folk on Triakels tour last week. Here illustrated by Triakel-friend Erika Hallhagen pointing at a Triakelposter with the word "Utsålt". 8 more opportunitys to see Triakel live are waiting in Gävleborg between 19-26 March. Check out the tourplan
 
On the Road again
In January Triakel did a tour in Dalarna with Madame Neruda from Gävleborg. As you can see from the picture some of the members had more in common than music. The woollen caps that Kjell and Lars are wearing was made very popular in the 70s by the legendary alpine skier,  Ingemar Stenmark.
If you want to see the caps live and also enjoy some good music, the bands are touring together again in march, check out the tourplan here
 
Longing for Winter
Triakel members are very fond of Winter. The album Vintervisor/Wintersongs is a tribute to the nordic Winter and Christmas. Every year since the release 2001 the band are doing concerts before Christmas based on this CD. The plan is to do so this year as well. If you´re interested in booking Triakel for a winter concert in November or December, send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
(Yes, it's a real horse on the picture and yes, it's Emma driving)
 
Kronos Quartet/Triakel = Tusen Tankar
The world famous string quartet Kronos has done a program with Nordic music. One of the songs they have chosen is Tusen Tankar/A Thousand Thoughts. A sad love song that has been a favourite part of Triakels repertoire since the start in 1995.

Probably the best beer in the world
As you can see from some of the photos in the gallery Triakel are interested in beer. The band are therefore very proud to announce their own label in co-operation with the local brewery Jämtlands bryggeri  
It's of course very exklusive and only served on special occasions such as a Triakel concert.
 
Newsflash
New CD!

Triakel is back in Revsund to record a new album. The CD with songs from Ulrika Lindholm, Raukasjö will be recorded during four sessions this year and released in the beginning of 2011.
