Aug 30th 2010: On Thursday 2nd of September, we´re back to Punktfestival in Kristiansand, doing a live-remix concert. We´re very exited about this! We´re also very exited to record our new album in Oslo next week. We´ve written and rehearsed a lot of new material, and, as usual, have invited three really great musicians to join in. A guitarplayer and two brassplayers, all of them with no prior involvement in Splashgirl.

April 29th 2010: Splashgirl performed at a Punkt-event in Oslo on March 18th. Jan Bang, Erik Honoré and Sidsel Endresen did a live remix of the concert. Splashgirl was shortly after confirmed to the Punktfestival 2010 in Kristiansand. The band will also perform at Working Class Hero festival in Drammen on June 4th, and is currently booking an European tour from November 22nd to December 5th. Please contact jo(a)splashgirl.no if you´re interesting in hosting a performance.

June 28th 2007: Jazznytt skriver:
...hver tone, hvert tema og hver stopp har sin plass og virker veloverveid. Samtidig er dette musikk det er befriende vanskelig å lytte analytisk og distansert til, og vanskelig å ikke la seg engasjere av. Det låter organisk, naturlig av tre og strenger, og bandet framstår som et velfungerende kollektiv som «puster» samtidig...

April 12th 2007: Splashgirl will appear in the program Jazzbasillen at NRK P2 Friday the 13th at 14:03. Listen to the show online.

April 4th 2007: Dagbladet skriver:
...verken klangbilde eller tilnærming noen gang er i nærheten av vanlig pianotrio-jazz. ...et interessant og originalt tilskudd til den norske improvisasjonsmusikken.

March 25th 2007: Dagsavisen skriver:
...eit av dei mest spennande debutalbuma denne våren. ...Bandet overraskar heile tida, og gjer deg nyfiken på kva som er rundt neste sving. Det er ein god start for ein cd-debutant.
