About Me

The five guys moved from Norway to Liverpool to study together, live together, play computer-games together and simply just being Auden Prim together. And they have been together for the past two years now, demonstrating that they love having fun together, “although we don’t share flat anymore”.The band has received airplay on Norwegian national radio NRK P3, been on a variety of German and British radio stations including Kerrang Radio, Radio City and BBC Radio1. Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC Radio1 DJ, at the recent Sound Advice Tour (www.soundadvicetour.co.uk) enthused; “I really like this track! I listen to hundreds of demos every week and this one clearly stands out!” Mary Anne played “Living Strong” on the Rock Show saying; “Believe it or not, that is just a demo! Everybody thought the demo was so spectacular, I think it’s absolutely cracking!” (www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/rockshow/) And believe it or not, the band has even achieved cult status on a strange Slovenian radio station (!)The band played In The City Unsigned 2004 in Manchester and received great feedback for their performance from music industry professionals as well as the press. The band has featured in magazines such as NME, Fly Magazine and Musicweek. The band is regarded one of the best bands that played Barfly Club last year, and features on a Best of Barfly download available from www.karmadownload.com stating:“The Most successful bands started off playing local gigs and performing the circuit without a record deal. With Barfly playing host to many of these bands before they hit the big time, we asked the promoters of each Barfly venue which bands they felt have the best chance of getting signed and moving onto bigger things. Here is a selection of the ten best Unsigned bands that played Barfly venues during Autumn/Winter04”Before summer the guys did a tour in Norway and played the prestigious Norwegian Wood Festival together with The Hives,Roxy Music,System of a Down and Tori Amos amongst others.
