DESCRIPTION:
Vocalist Kristin Blix grew up on a farm in northern Norway, but feels strangely at home on the stages and highways of America. "Every day I feel like I'm in a movie. Everything I see, from the corner liquor store to the cornfields and factories in the middle of this country, are familiar images. I saw them in American films while I was growing up, and now I'm actually living in them!"
Bassist Silver Sorensen grew up in a small town 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle. After seeing the world south of the 66th parallel, she decided she prefers stage lights to the Northern Lights...
Guitarist Charles Normal's previous band "The Merchants of Venus" was nominated for the coveted "Spellemannsprisen" (Scandinavian Grammy) for their debut album which he wrote, produced, engineered,and performed. He has worked and recorded with such diverse artists as Guns 'n' Roses, Frank Black, Larry Norman, and Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, but he still thinks the pilot episode of "Green Acres" is the highest work of art mankind has ever achieved.
Drummer Jason Carter spent his childhood playing in drum corps and touring the U.S. and Europe in various rock bands. Along the way, he was pleasantly surprised to acquire a well deserved reputation in the jazz world, playing with such notables as Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck), Tom Grant, Doc Severinsen, Eric Marienthal (Chick Corea), Patrick Lamb, etc. He has also worked alongside Phil Collins and Dave Metzger on such film soundtracks as Tarzan and the Magnificent Seven. But he gave it all up to be in a broke rock band. Good for him!
