    26/11 1998:   Øystein Ronander has been answering a lot of questions on
                          the mailinglist. Many have asked what the guys will do after
                          the break-up. Øystein indicates that they might (probably)
                          will continue making music in some way. (We sure do hope
                          so!!).

                         I would also like to take this oppotunity to thank Øystein

    25/11 1998:   Well it's a sad day for all of us, as Seigmen is breaking up.
                           Here is a statement from Seigmen-manager Øystein
                           Ronander:
                         "Hi
                                           This Is Seigmen´s manager Oystein Ronander. As you have probably heard by
                                            now, Seigmen is spliting up after a short godbye-tour in the early spring.
                                           A compilation will be released in Norway on the 1st of February. This CD
                                           contains two new songs ("Malmklang" and "Frost-Bite") + the remix version
                                           of Universal, previously unreleased in Norway.
                                           .
                                           .
                                           Oystein Ronander"

                            You can find Øystein on the Seigmen mailinglist for the next
                            couple of days, where he will try to answer you questions.
                            The current tourdates can be found in the Tour-section.

    15/07 1998:    Seigmen recently played at the Roskilde-festival. Sadly, they
                           had to play at the same time as the Norwegian soccer team
                           met up with Italy, but a full tent surprised the band. They
                           had deperately been trying to reshedule the concert, but with
                           no luck. Here's the setlist (not sure about the exact order of
                           the songs:)
                                                 Malmklang
                                                    Colosseum
                                                    Fra X til Døden
                                                    Universal
                                                    Across the Universe
                                                    Döderlein
                                                    The Modern End
                                                    Opelwerk
                                                    Mesusah
                                                    Performance Alpha
                                                    ----------------------
                                                 P-machinery
                                                    Hjernen er Alene

                           Seigmen will play at the Zillo-festival in Germany, Sunday
                           the 16th of August. They will be entering the main stage as
                           early as 1140. Other acts include: the Cure, And One,
                           Theatre of Tragedy etc. etc.
 

    01/07 1998: A Seigmen-article in Norwegian newspaper VG.
 

    06/05 1998:    Once again we bring you some ground-breaking news from
                            our good friend Otto: Seigmen has now finished their
                            European tour and, according to Kim Ljung, they were very
                            satisfied with it. After the Roskilde-festival , Seigmen will
                            play on some festival i Hannover, Germany, and a gig in
                            Moss. In early July they will enter the studio and start
                            recording a new album! Now that's what I call good news!
 
 

    07/05 1998:    Thanks to Otto Egil Sætre for todays news: On their current
                            tour, Seigmen are playing three new songs, "Opelwerk",
                            "Malmklang" and "Across the Universe", which is an old
                            Lennon/McCartney text with the "Mørkets Øy"-melody.

                            There will not be any new Seigmen-albums this year, but
                            Kim Ljung has told Sætre that they will release an EP around
                            September, which among other songs will contain a remix of
                            "Universal". Maybe they will call this one "The Last Wave",
                            which is the name of the single that was supposed to be
                            released i January? At least we have something to look
                            forward to!

                            This last info is not as much news as it is a reminder: If you
                            are at Roskilde this year, you have an excellent opportunity
                            to watch Seigmen live. At Roskilde you can also watch
                            Subgud (who has a couple of tracks on some of Seigmen's
                            singles).
 

    26/04 1998:    Seigmen are currnently on a small European tour. The last
                           thing I heard is that they were warming up for a Dutch band
                           called The Gathering in Italy, where they played a 30 minute
                           set.
