About Ni liv
Ni Liv from Bø in Telemark, Norway was established during the winter 2002 - 2003. In July 2003 came the Ep Da eg og Bestefar va' små (in english: when me and Grandpa were kids). Melodious and groovy rock with lyrics in norwegian dialect earns Ni Liv more and more friends. In 2005 the band put money in studio time with great engineer and producer Eivind Skovdahl(A-ha and others). The idea was to release on the bands own label, but Ni Liv (before Oct 5., 2006: Bygdabilly Band) signed for Warner Music Norway. The debut album was released in 2006 (see further down for info). The second album for Warner Music was named TELEMARKANA and released July 2, 2007 - recorded and produced by Dr. Kai Andersen in Athletic Sound Studio.
