Libido redefines meaning of word
By Adlin Rosli Daily Arts Writer

The Europeans are known for their libido. And if three Norwegian men have anything to add, that stereotype will be redefined.

The three men - Cato, Even and Jorgen - are the musicians that make up one of the most engaging guitar pop bands out of Europe today.

They are the men of Libido - Cato on bass, Jorgen on drums and Even on vocals and guitars.

The band's name does not personify the music of the group. Libido's latest album, "Killing some dead time" (Velvel Records) is not an expression of wantonness. It is actually an enjoyable collection of pop gems conveying modern-day relationship-related dysfunctions, which leads the listener to wonder about the origin of the band's name.

"It was taken from a detective show in Norway, " Cato said in a recent interview with The Daily. Originally hailing from Norway, the band has since relocated to England.

"It is much easier to do what we do in the UK," Cato said. The band's relocation to England actually affected the recording of "Killing some dead time."

"Half the album was recorded in Norway and the half was recorded in the UK," Cato said. Each member was initially in a different band, but the three eventually got together to form Libido in 1995.

Singer and guitar player Even was key to the band's formation, as he brought them started the recording. "Even was working at the recording studio where we recorded our album," Cato said. "We snuck in and recorded between other bands recording in that studio, so we wouldn't have to pay for the studio time. "We even sometimes used other bands' equipment. We basically got out of there before the next band would come in to record and recorded for free."

The group's music itself is very rich in vocal hooks and pop melodies. Song structures are also diverse, as they vary from the simple in-your-face attack of "Blow" to the breezy, jammed-out "Revolving." Although Even writes all the lyrics and initially comes up with songs, Cato and drummer Jorgen are still responsible for making the songs become band efforts. "Creatively, we inspire each other, and that gives our songs their character," Cato said. "Even may bring in a song in its original form, but after we are done with it, it ends up very different from how it was."

The band's musical influences are very diverse as well, ranging from Sonic Youth to the Beatles. Cato sites Kiss as his big influence, which is evident in his bass playing on the album. "It's the Gene Simmons bass playing style," Cato said. "I love Kiss. I saw them twice last time they toured. I saw them in the UK and in Oslo, Norway."

And we all know about Kiss's legendary libido, don't we? Quite a buzz has begun to develop about Libido, and the band will soon be playing shows in Australia and Japan. "One of the great things about being in a band, aside from meeting people, good and bad, is that you get to travel," Cato said.

So if Cato, Even and Jorgen have their way, the redefinition of the word libido will have a new twist in Europe - a more melodic twist perhaps, but still very much arousing.

"My mom was really into Elvis, and my dad, who was in a crappy band called "Kontiki", liked the Beatles," says 26-year-old front man Even. "When I was six years old, my friends and I made our own band and used oil barrels for drums and a guitar with four strings."
"母はエルビスに夢中だった。父は”Kontiki”とか言う名のビートルズみたいなバンドをやってたんだ。" 26歳のフロントマンEvenが言った。　”僕が6歳の時に、友達と一緒にバンドを組んだんだ。使ってる楽器はドラム缶だったり4弦のギターだったりするんだけどね。”

...the hardest part about being a man is "being dumb because we can only concentrate on one thing at a time."
男でいることの難点というのは
” 頭が悪いってとこ、だって僕たちは一度に一つのことしか集中できないんだ。”

His greatest pride lies within his three-year-old daughter Frankie because she is the "greatest thing that ever happened to me."
彼の大きな自信の裏側には、常に彼の3歳になる娘-Frankieの存在がある。”彼女は僕の人生の中で一番素晴らしいものだからね。”

He would want to meet Jesus Christ to "see if he was for real."
彼はキリストに会ってみたいという
”正真正銘現実にいたら見てみたいね。”

"Five things [aside from people] he could not live without would be "my acoustic guitar, my electric guitar, my amp, my stereo, and sex," he says blushing.
５つだけ（人間以外に）、コレなしでは生きていけないというものは？
”僕のアコースティックギター、エレクトリックギター、アンプ、ステレオ、と・・・セックス・・・。”と彼は顔を赤らめて言った。

"The best advice my parents ever gave me, and believe me, they were not very good at giving advice, was to be yourself," Even says between sips of bottled water. "Be honest, and be nice to people and they will be nice to you as well." And how do Even's parents feel about their son's success and lifestyle? "They are delighted but they miss me a bit...I do not think they really like the music though!" he says smiling.
”僕の親が僕にくれた最高のアドバイスは、自分らしく振舞え、正直であれ、人に優しくすれば人も自分にやさしくしてくれるということかな。でもウチの親はあんまりそういうアドバイスをするのは上手じゃなかったんだけどね。”と水をすすりながら言った。
あなたの両親はあなたの成功やライフスタイルについてどう感じているんですか？
”喜んでるよ。でもちょっと寂しいみたいだね・・・。だけど、僕がやってる音楽はあんまりすきじゃないんじゃないかな。”彼は笑いながら言った。

"They [Jorgen and Cato] are both intelligent, humorous, and a little annoying."
JorgenとCato（Libidoのメンバー）は二人とも知的で、ユーモラスで、でもちょっとばっかりうるさいヤツラだよ。
