For people out there that have never heard of you. Give us three reasons why they should?
It`s free if you hook up on Music Export Norway. Probably get cheep beers too, and we are a really good band!
Tell us a little about where you’re from. Do your surroundings affect the music that you create?
West coast of Norway, so actually the closest you get to England in Norway. We are from the city Haugesund, which is located in the middle of the two bigger cities Bergen and Stavanger. We get the fresh breeze from the North Sea in the middle of our faces anywhere we turn. We are probably affected by these bigger cities and the weather. We are a strong bunch of people who like to say we hate our small town when we are in our twenties, but when we have moved out from it some years most people move back without complaints.
If you could have played on or written any song, what would it be?
Gold Soundz
How did the band come into being? And where did the name come from?
Started as a side project to the lo-fi punk band we played in. The name was taken after old vinyl singles where it said High Frequency Stereo. We made it fit our music.
What is the most memorable gig you have played, and what can we expect of your live set at Ja Ja Ja?
We have played in several weird places. We are actually the only rock band who have played inside the Norwegian parliament. The live set is probably going to be quite loud, dirty and unique!
If you were asked to curate your own Ja Ja Ja night, which three acts would you choose and why?
Probably the bandsHypertext from Norway, Silver Bullet from Sweden and Baby Woodrose from Denmark.
We’d like you to make us a Nordic themed mix-tape. Which five tracks would you choose?
I would just play any album from Black Debbath. Which means “black debate” and they sound like Black Sabbath with lyrics about Norwegian politics. They have one album called “Welcome to Norway” which we can recommend for foreign listeners.
