Foo Fighters jam on my tram

We have a lot of things to share at the moment, but we thought we should start with something a bit different.

Some of you have already seen it and, very kindly, supports it. So what is it? Well, we're getting Foo Fighters to jam on a tram.

We'll take the help from music lovers to get behind us and nag (very nicely of course) the Foo:s to play on a tram in Melbourne. It will be just like any other Tram Session. The band plays a few songs, we record it and let the world enjoy it on our website. And the lucky ones that's on the tram will of course have the time of their lifes!

Just imagine; you're going home from uni or work. You're tired, bored and just want a bit of energy. Then all of a sudden you see some some musos step in to the tram. Followed by a camera and mic. You're getting more excited, as well as slightly worried, and when the band is getting up close you see who it is. It's the Foo Fighters! On a tram. Your tram. In Melbourne. What the f$*+#!

To make this happen we need some help. Help from you. Hit "attending" on our Facebook event to show your support. It's our way of showing the band that this is something that their fans want. Badly.

When we have enough guests on the site, we'll start the next phase of the campaign. Contacting the band. During the months leading up to their concerts in December we'll arrange a range of activities to spread the word and to make this dream a reality.

We promise we won't rest until we get the Foo Fighters to jam on your tram!

Tram Sessions part of the State of Design Festival


We have some great news for you friends.

Tram sessions will present on the opening night for the State of Design festival at ACCA, Wednesday 20 July.

We’ll be part of the Pecha Kucha series, which means you have 6min 40sec to talk about 20 images, ie 20sec per slide.

We’re pumped to present alongside great people such as cartoonist/philosopher/poet/artist Michael Leunig and Danielle Wilde, inventor of the HipDisk.

The event is free and you can book tickets here.

It would be amazing to see some friendly faces there!

Happy Commuting!

Rescued from the floods

Peew, we were a bit afraid that we would have lost some of our videos thanks to some heavy rainfall in Copenhagen during the weekend. The room where the servers were located were apparently flooded!

The guys at Surftown did a good job though, and the site was only down for a day. We can now proceed to upload the latest session with Dirt Farmer, which is super exciting. You can expect to see it on the site by tomorrow morning.

Just wanted to give you guys an update and let you know that nothing can stop Tram Sessions now, not even the weather Gods!

Happy Commuting!

PS. And now we know that the servers are in Denmark, who would have thought?

Here's an interview



A while back I had the pleasure of meeting a serious music lover. Her name is Paige X. Cho and runs the blog Paper-Deer. A few discussions led to an interview, which now is online here.

It's great to meet passionate people like Paige and we'll sure be seeing each other soon enough as she's invited to a future session. With which band is yet to be decided, can't give it all away :-)

Happy Commuting!

Loren video

The last months have been busy for us, but it's been hard to share much of the progress on the site. Mostly because it has involved a lot of meetings and planning, but also because we think it's quite boring for you to read about :-)

In an attempt to please your precious music souls we've uploaded another session, never released before. It's taken from Tram 96 and the session we had with Loren. As most of you know by now, his voice is one of my personal favourites. So far, his videos have been very popular, and we hope it can continue with the release of the beautiful 'Hall of Mirrors'.

In the next few weeks we plan to release some of Lanie Lane's songs that she performed with us earlier, with other words there's more love coming! In terms of up-coming sessions, well we hope to release information in the next week or so. There's quite a few bands in the pipeline...

Happy Commuting!
