The MICROPOPS

About Me

"Nintendo or devotion" avalible on ITUNES and PLATEKOMPANIET.NO
The Micropops is a fresh happy/mystic-pop-electro band from Bergen. Håkon Njøten is joined by Bjarte on the drums, Simen on bass, Line on everything else and a serious minichoir with moves; Sofie and Erlend.
After a few years of writing and singing songs on my own, I (Håkon) made my first songs in “The micropops” genre in the autumn of 06. When I realized that I only wanted to play this kind of music, I knew a new project had to be put into life. In the summer of 2007, at the worlds.. wettest Roskilde Festival ever, I drank beer and ate popcorn, and the name “The micropops” came to mind.
I started making pop-electro-demos in my bedroom, we played a few small gigs, and a clear view of what “The Micropops” was started to form. PS: The moves made by the minichoir are suppost to be simular.
In may, we became "ukens urørt" (song of the week, in the music-underground in Norway) with our single; Moonlight. The scandinavian record label Bonnier Amigo heard the song, and two weeks later The Micropops were signed in Norway. Our Debut Album is called "Nintendo or devotion". Telephonebaby, baby!

Rewiew by Rune Aas: The Micropops playing at John Dee on BYLARM!

With a band name that certainly has a certain cuteness to it, and a single which has gotten massive radio airplay, it could be easy to think of the Micropops as a soon to be one hit wonder. But at thi...
