Today on the entry to the area Pillirina there was this man telling me i couldnt enter. That the owners of the land has after 13 years won all the cases they needed to win in italian courts and that now this land and the neighbouring seaside is off limits to the public. And that yesterday the police came to give fines to the people who were there. And this would happen to us if we went there. This area has been of public use for at least 50 years. When i came to Siracusa for the first time in 2008, on the second day i was taken here. And it was the mix of the beauty of the historical center, with the wild and free seaside area of Pillirina so near, that attracted me to Siracusa and that made me buy a house here and move here in 2012. From what I understand; a noble person, Marquis De Gresy, @manu_di_gresy is behind the investment company Elemata that now will make this area private and construct houses here where there now are ruins. What is his motivation to do this? Does he think he is doing a favour to Siracusa? Pillirina does not need any “requalification”. Its perfect as it is. Cliffs that year by year erodes into the sea. Houses that offer an idea of past settlements, and relics from the 2nd world war, that tells history in its subtle way. In the windy spring months, here we can find a windshaded beach and pretend its already summer. Mr Gresy, if you read this, please change your mind. I can sell my house in Bergen and maybe i can manage to pay for the costs you have had in all this time trying to procure the permits you needed. Will 1 million euro be enough? I know its little, but its all i have. Dont take Pillirina away from us. #pillirina #pillirinariservasubito

Upside Down is our latest single, part of the upcoming album “La Comitiva”. (The clips have been recorded during soundcheck times at the venue of our ongoing European tour) 😅
This is a message for my fans in Turkey and ( particularly) Istanbul. i will return to Zorlu where i played one year ago with Kings of Convenience. But this time i will bring my italian band La Comitiva and we will play THIS song( that for some reason is more popular in Istanbul than anywhere else according to Spotify). “Price” was released as part of Quarantine At El Ganzo, recorded with the Caged Dolphins. But it was partly composed with Eirik from Kings of C and further developed with La Comitiva before it was recorded in Mexico during lockdown. The show in Istanbul is on the 8th of May. Tickets can be found on erlendoye.it 🎪
Around the world!
La Comitiva Spring Tour 2024, part 1. Milano, Torino, Padova, Bologna, Roma, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisboa. Moments on stage and moments off-stage. In love with Europe and all of its urban and human variety. What a treat to see it all in such a short period of time. How things change from place to place. We develop a lot how we play together, both within La Comitiva core members, and with Romain, Maaike and Kobi, the Win Winds. Stefano now brings a stomp-box that he operates with his foot, creating a sound similar to a bass drum. Romain plays pandeiro on some songs now and other percussions. We sold out the La Comitiva Album vinyl, but we are repressing and we should have it for Part 2 next week. Istanbul, Hamburg, London, Utrecht. Also me and Stefano will play and sign records at HHV record shop in Berlin on the 5th May. Thanks to everyone that came to these shows! Thanks for listening, dancing and taking active part in the shows. In a time where so many live-acts perform with backing tracks, i am proud we are going in the other direction, sometimes performing even without amplification.
