"OOZING WITH ATTITUDE & ENERGY ROCKS LIKE HOLE "LIVE THROUGH THIS" & JOAN JETT "BAD REPUTATION" BIG CHEESE MAGAZINE (ISSUE 126/SEPTEMBER 2010)



I started my musical career in a rockband called Charlie's Drugstore after hangin' around the music scene in Atlanta, GA about nine years ago. We co-wrote all the songs and toured Norway and Northern Europe. We got signed to an indie-label but as often happens in the music business that didn't work out. Like Spinal Tap it all came to pieces, and we all went our separate ways. I went solo and started writing with long-time producer Arvid Solvang. My 1st record was released in 2008 & distributed digitally with Artspages, and for example is available here on For those of you who prefer to get your hands on the CD, just send me a message with your email adress and mail address, and I'll bill you through paypal. Alternatively, the CD can be bought online here



(For those of you who don't have myspace, send an email to booking(at)citizencharlie.com). The CD is also available at Sound of noise, Youngstorget 11 (entrance from hammersborgsgt) Oslo, Norway. See also www.soundofnoise.net After the release of the 1st record I signed a management/development deal with Rocksector Records in England. For all booking and management inquiries please use cc@rocksector.com . In 2009 we did two great tours of the UK, and returned for a 3rd tour in July 2010 when we played the SOS Festival in Manchester (headlined by Black Spiders who've opened for Airbourne & Ozzy Osbourne) & also we supported Tigertailz in Newcastle.



This is what Classic Rock Magazine had to say about my 1st album:



"At a time when credible female rockers operate in the shadows of Lily Allen, a breath of fresh air comes in the form of Citizen Charlie - a raven-haired Norwegian warrior princess whose mission to match the achievements of Led Zeppelin and AC/DC "or die trying" doesn't sound half so ridiculous after you've heard her debut album. With a voice pitched somewhere between the scorched fury of Courtney Love and the glacial cool of Amy Lee, Citizen Charlie clasps the listener's testicles from the riff-raff opener Pulling Out Your Nails - and proceeds to twist them throughout a record that jolts, sneers, clatters and chastises, before drowning in a pool of its own oestrogen. Cover your groin, but be sure to open your ears."

7/10

Having built up my reputation in the UK with 3 tours as mentioned above, I recorded my 2nd album "Up Yours" again co-written & produced by Arvid Solvang & added a record deal with Rocksector Records. Release date for "Up Yours" 11th October 2010. I hope to tour the UK again during the first half of 2011. Watch this space for more news!
