Albume is shaped and inspired by African-American jazz, soul and funk music, but created by a trio from Trondheim, Molde and Volda. Kim Ofstad, Jonny Sjo and Simone's innovative and Norwegian band was, among other things, called Norway's nicest band, the Christian band, the nice ice band, and not least -- Norway's best live band! Norwegian soul had been dead for many years, but something happened in the mid-90s when nightclubs like Head On appeared and not only shaped the cityscape, but also how young, hungry artists wanted to create new music. The album was produced by the super trio Jan Bang, Espen Berg and Hans Olav Grøttheim, and to this day the record is used as a demonstration CD in a number of Hi-Fi stores when they want to show how good their new speakers sound. The most unique thing is, however, that if you let a foreign music expert hear the album in 2021, without knowing anything about it, they will hardly be able to find out whether the album was recorded in the 70s, or last week.

Natt was created during the dark hours in Honningsvåg, recorded on an 8-track cassette recorder. It is the sound of desperation, existential anxiety, anger, and precisely darkness - but also hope and beauty. A place where the sensual life of post-punk meets the structures of prog rock. Natt was album number two on the tiny Skiens label Colors, which also released prog rock giants such as Änglagård and Dungen's predecessor, Landberk. In the album's handwritten liner notes, it is stated that it is a \"crisis production\", which probably reveals a bit of the musicians' state of mind when they recorded Natt.

The book will be a bit about how a gang from Østerås in Bærum manages to establish itself as the most unrestrained, unstoppable and hyperactive Rock \u0026amp; Roll band in an already very active music environment, consisting of hard rockers, MC drivers, robbers and amcar enthusiasts from inner Oslo, Akershus and the surrounding area. Eventually, bundle of energy and band founder Jørgen Næsje wants to quit, and the at least equally energetic Henrik Horge from Groruddalen takes over the microphone, and both style and expression continue to develop. It will be about the extremely lively, inspiring, cross-genre, moody and inclusive rockabilly environment that Oslo had at this time. There were several rockabilly festivals, many visiting international artists, constantly new bands, increasing public interest, and a whole bunch of meeting places such as Cave'n, Gamla, Dixie, Cruise Café, Teddy's Soft Bar, Råkker'n, Los Lobos, Bar Boca, Muddy Waters and others. And of course it will be about the album Cruisin', recorded in the legendary Ambience Studio in Nydalen, with Erling Jørgensen, Trond Engebretsen and Dag Stephen Solberg behind the controls. The songs were mostly their own, with classic rockabilly themes such as cars, ladies, card games, sex and goats. The recording took a week, and both Marius Müller, Lasse Hafreager and Trond Graff poked their heads in to check who was playing double bass and \"real music\" in the studio. Vidar Busk also stopped by and played guitar(s) on a song. The album was released on CNR Music in 1999, and the release party was held at Muddy Waters pub in Grensen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHenrik Horge is a musician, actor, music archaeologist and vocalist number two in Hot Rod T.

Hege Rimestad was the fiddler from Amtmandens Døtre, who left a strong mark in the year of women in 1975. But perhaps the most important band member was an unknown, 21-year-old backup singer from Lillestrøm, Anne Grete Preus. The sixty-eight behind Mai wanted to bet on Veslefrikk to appeal to a new generation of rebels. Behind this commitment lay the AKP(ml)'s youth campaign, which lasted from 1977-1979. However, Veslefrikk was never an ml project, and left after the debut Mai in favor of RCA.

With the 2017 album From Silence to Somewhere came the real international breakthrough, and it was also on this record that the current line-up emphatically got everything right. An album with an almost explosive creativity, bursting with joy in playing and a kind of folk virtuosity that captivates far beyond prog rock's traditional audience. Audun Vinger concluded his review of the record in Dagens Næringsliv with the following admission: \"when the spinet solo is over and the final theme is hammered into the closing \"Foxlight\", you should be glad you are not being filmed during playback, lightly conducting and enthusiastic.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eJacob Holm-Lupo, who thinks Natt is Norway's best album, is a musician, sound engineer and journalist\/author.

Willy played the guitar and Espen didn't play anything, but they just fired up and immediately started making their own songs. Espen proved to be a brilliant guitarist, and Willy had a vocal range that few can copy. There were lots of gigs and attention in the years that followed, including with the song \"Mummy\" from the debut album in 1996, and the group, which then also consisted of Tor Kristian Sørensen on bass and Bjarte Ludvigsen on drums, received the Spellemann prize for their second record, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom The Makers Of Ozium\u003c\/em\u003e .
