ZOO - GUILTY (1978)
Zoo from Stokmarknes had two quite different careers; in the first period the group focused on English-language rhythm & blues, while in the second and far more famous period the menu was catchy pop rock with Norwegian lyrics. Zoo changed its name to Focus in 1970, but a couple of years later they had to change back again when the Dutch band Focus appeared. A contract with local label Experience Records saw the band's record debut in 1974; the single "Ormen Lange". At the start of 1977, Zoo was reduced to a quartet with Dahl, Høynes, Larsen and newcomer Trond Nyrud (flute, saxophone). The band was now on bare ground. Ketil Stokkan (vocals, guitar) came to Stokmarknes from Harstad in 1977 with a record contract in his pocket and a bunch of self-composed songs in English. He contacted Zoo, and became the band's driving force through six years and as many LPs.
