How far can you come in 2 rehearsals? <br /> <br />When things come together, you can get really far and that is the case with BOP <br /> <br />In June 2006 Ole Fryd had left Thailand, where he has been living with his wife Oat. One evening Ole, who&#39;s main instrument is bass, ask his brother Peter make a band....or he might get bored living in Denmark. Peter instantly called his working colleague Brian Fridahl - a highly rated drummer of the Danish underground - and BOP was formed. <br /> <br />After the first rehearsal the the member of the newly formed band were ecstatic. They had created 4 new songs in just as many hours and the prolific cooperation, during the following rehearsal, continued <br /> <br />Shortly after Brian held a garden party and a live recording was made. 4 song from that event is available as free download on this site. <br /> <br />Ole was the same week offered a civil job in Greenland, which he accepted. They met up once more make a final recording, which could stand as a memory of &quot;when things just come together&quot; The result was &quot;Seasons&quot;. Brian and Peter got hold of the talented singer Stine Brown who put on a new vocal and re-wrote the lyrics and BOP&#39;s final recording became &quot;You Can&#39;t Seize the Day Before the Sun&#39;s Gone Down&quot;. <br /> <br />Brian and Peter desperately tried to find a suitable replacement for Ole, but it seemed more and more like the magic has gone. Finally it made no sense of continuing without the important 3rd member. <br /> <br />But... <br /> <br />Ole came back to Denmark for a short visit in April 2007 and did not hesitate to team up with Brian and Peter. 2 new songs was created and recorded in 2-3 hours. <br /> <br />And of cause once again: <br /> <br />Things just came together
