Mr. Wild Bettencourt Guitar, Daroka Pramanik, has sent me a couple of links:

The Nordlys article features a short interview with Knut: The "classic" line-up of Knut, Kåre, Anders, Per and Anders will play some concerts this summer. Focus will be on stuff from the Long Day's Flight era, an album they acknowledge most fans like. The boys have had a tradition of meeting round Christmas to meet, drink, eat and talk. This Christmas they discovered they had time on their hands and planned some gigs for this summer.

Two festival gigs are official yet (let's hope for more - one article mentions three gigs):
17th-19th July: Bukta, Tromsø
18/19th July: Malakoff, Eid

Mirror Lakes

Mirror Lakes is a softrock/poprock band featuring Knut Schreiner and Trond Mjøen (Trond was a member of Euroboys for the Soft Focus album recording and tour).

The band started when Knut and Frode Fivel met backstage at a Dungen/TSOOL gig. The two agreed to start a project, and started writing songs. Other members of the band are: Håvard Krogedal (I was a King, Loch Ness Mouse) - bass and Arne Mathisen (Heroes and Zeros) - drums.

They released a self titled double album in 2012, recorded in Gothenburg, Oslo and New York, released on Warner.

On the band's own youtube channel, you can see a special session with several songs from the album, recorded at Spinner Studios.

Kitchie Kitche Ki Me O

Many of you know about Anders playing in Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O (KKKMO). The band is a continuation of the band My Midnight Creeps (2003-2007), which featured Madrugada's Robert Burås (from Madrugada), who sadly passed in 2007. They released two albums; My Midnight Creeps (2005) and Histamin (2007). The line up was:
Robert Burås - Guitar/vocals
Alex Kloster-Jensen - Guitar
Behzad Farazollahi - Drums
Dag Stiberg - Saxophone
Anders Møller - Percussion
Raymond Jensen - Bass

I saw the band at Studentersamfundet and Platekompaniet in Trondheim in 2007, then with Anders on drums. In the time after, Alex K toured with Madrugada.

In 2009, a new band was started, Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O, with a similar line-up:
Alex K - Vocal, guitar
Frode Jacobsen (also from Magrugada) - Bass
Behzad Farazollahi - Drums
Dag Stiberg - Saxophone
Anders Møller - Percussion
Rikke Norman & Marianne Pentha - Backing vocals
Their self titled debut album was released in 2009, a follow up will come this year, title to be announced.
