Description
KEN-DANG – KEN-DANG (1983)
Ken-Dang was a music group from Bergen that was started in the early 1980s by guitarist Odd Harald "Beinet" Hundvin, bassist Ronald Jensen, keyboard player/trombonist Morten Odéen who had previously played in the group Blåfugl, vocalist Kjersti Bergesen who had previously played in Ohms Marsj and Parkens Grøde, and drummer Terje H. Hanssen who had a past in various swing jazz and big bands in the 1970s. The name Ken-Dang comes from the lead drum in Javanese gamelan music. Ken-Dang made a name for itself with a distinctive sound, which was a combination of exotic eastern rhythm patterns and English new wave. The music was also characterized by contemporary synthesizers, and both the audience and critics liked what they heard. The band released the EP Ken-Dang in 1983 and the album Monsters & Miracles in 1984.
