It all started when Petter got a guitar for Christmas. Most of his friends were in bands and it kind of annoyed him that he wasnÂ´t able to play any instruments. Two months later he had made his first songs and his friend Pål invited him over to record the songs on his fourtrack tape recorder. The recordings soon became a weekly ritual, and every Monday they would continue recording new songs of dubious quality. Pål would sometimes even make his famous lasagne, and when Petter went back to his apartment after an evening of recording, he would not have to eat for days.

The first live show was acoustic at a birthday party for a friendÂ´s older brother. Mads who was known as the loudest drummer in Hordaland joined in playing tambourine and drumming on a cardboard box. Pål played keyboard. The crowd of about 25 were mysteriously quiet, but applauded courteously. The infamous Father Police also played at the birthday party. The second show were at Hulen, which is a 350 capacity venue in Bergen. About 50 people had the pleasure of seeing Petter, Pål (extra guitar) and Mads (drums) playing five songs. With only one rehearsal it must have sounded fairly strange. Mads did not know the songs at all and Petter was excessively drunk.

Silje started in the band playing cello, but when the cello mysteriously disappeared during a thunderstorm she had to play keyboards instead. This autumn she is in Paris where she will study crazy artstuff and unfortunately will not be able to play any shows. Luckily the extraordinarily talented Sgt.
