Only 30 bands out of over 1000 were picked out to play by:Larm 2009 and good reviews, rumours and references the last few months has made Pipedream a safe choice to play the festival. Pipedream has just released the single “You’ll Never Catch Gold” on Sony BMG, after winning the international competition Urband Playground. The single is available on iTunes as well as several different websites (Telenor, Djuice etc). In June, the band played at the Underwood-stage in front of 6000 spectators during this year’s Norwegian Wood festival after being picked out as one of the eight bands amongst 400 who got to play the festival. Pipedream won the people’s prize, were entitled “The Underwood Band of the Year” and was awarded a great prize from GRAMO and Norwegian Wood.

With diverse musical backgrounds and influences Pipedream has developed into an energetic rock orchestra with thick and melodic walls of sound fed with both pop and rock.
