About Me

I'm a music junkie, who loves rock. I devote every waking moment to playing and writing songs with The Royal Highness and Dog Almighty .
With The Royal Highness we've just finished our debut album "La Mancha". It has been recorded and produced by ourselves at The Tank in Oslo, and Evil Joe Barressi has tweaked the mix to perfection. He has produced some of my favorite bands ever, like Tool and QOTSA. The two weeks we spent at Bay 7 Studios in LA, were a dream come true to me. Just hanging out, drinking and learnign from the masters. The album will be released on the 29th of January, and I can't wait...
You can join our mailing list through www.theroyalhighness.com .
Dog Almighty has been born through the joint effort of Sindri from Farout Fishing , and Kim , Fred and myself from Span .
We have been in the rehearsal room just pouring out ideas for a year now, and have spent quite a bit of time in our home made studio, The Tank. It sounds a lot better than it looks, and it doesn't look bad ;)
We are well on the way with our debut album. Eleven songs are recorded, and more are being put down as we speak. Go to our profile and give us some feed-back, and we'll be sure to not take it into consideration ;) If you send us an E-mail we'll keep you posted as things progress..
For the past six years I've been playing in a band called Span , but we split up in the fall '05.
We released two albums in Europe, and toured non stop from '01 and '05. After doing almost 600 gigs in Europe and the US, I've become completely addicted to making music and standing on a stage playing to people who think like I do.
I've spent christmas putting together a dvd from the farewell gig Span did at Rockefeller in Oslo, and I expect to have it done pretty soon. I know people are waiting for it, and I'll get it done ;)
