Girl from Saskatoon on Video?Press play on tape!
This Video is the first one from our debut album "This is only the beginning". A homemade laughter production from Terje Bontveit & Girl from Saskatoon. Please enjoy! Please tell your friends!!
"From a secret love affair between no other than Roky Ericson and Dolly Parton, came to birth the Girl from Saskatoon, one rainy winternight in 2002. Born with a guitar in hand, love in her heart, and her hair gently coloured with a pleasant mix of Rock & Western.
The Girl from Saskatoon released it's first debut "Aloha My Love" at international rock festival "ya Festivalen" in Oslo summer 2003. And has since then played Norway and Europe from London to Riga, perfoming as anything from a duo to a full orchestra. Theese sweet and young artists nevertheless seem to have a rare ability to entertain their audience wherever they go.
It has been written that the Girl from Saskatoon sounds like if The Shags rises again as punked-up cowboys, both sweet and sour at the same time. And quite perfect for the memory of the Man in Black himself, mr Johnny Cash who wrote that song from where they picked up their name, a beautiful tune dedicated to Joni Mitchell.
The release of the Girl from Saskatoon debut album is scheduled to 3. April 2006 at Caf Mono in Oslo with a smashing display of fireworks and chocolate cake."
