Band Members: MATHILDE LUNDERSKOV is the lead vocalist in Lovebites, co-composer and text writer. She has a strong musical upbringing and background. She has played the piano since she was six and was a bit of a child prodigy. Already as a child she performed on a couple of children’s records. Mathilde’s own musical preferences as a child were first and foremost classical music and her angle to becoming the lead vocalist in Lovebites is a very unspoiled and pure talent that spans wide and has many facets, but is always based on the simple. Mathilde really makes an impression. Besides of her special charisma, first and foremost, she can sing! Mathilde is the person that senses the crocked angles and various little details in the music. Mathilde is fond of her very intuitive angle to the music and would consider a musical education to be a creative drag.
Besides her music career she a brilliant Flash designer and programmer.
KARINA FOSSFENN plays the acoustic guitar, co-composes and is the overriding energy source with unfailing drive and to whom nothing is impossible. Karina is an excellent songwriter and possesses enormous power and charisma on stage and in the songs. As a child her natural power caused Karina trouble and she was the absolute dynamo in school, but during her teens she managed to direct and structure her energy into a more constructive direction doing karate. In 1993 she won the Danish Championship and a bronze medal for the All-Denmark-Team in the World Championships. The karate was replaced with music when Karina took up the guitar playing in the beginning of her twenties.
In love with Andy since '92.
NICLAS TANGE
Drums, programming, songwriter.
Swedish all round whiz-kid, actually growing up in the jungles of Africa.
Niclas Tange plays the drums and co-composes. He is born in Sweden, brought up in Africa and moved to Denmark as a nine-year-old. During his long music career, he has had strong relations to Sweden, and has often performed there. Niclas was very engaged in the Swedish punk wave, which was much more rebellion and deeper rooted in quality music than punk was in Denmark. Niclas brings a reckless dimension to Lovebites, which he thinks originated in his Swedish years. Niclas is co-organiser in the band and together with Andy, he is the most outstanding computer and programming member of the band. Niclas has among other a past in the Danish band The Poets.
He is also working as a studio engineer on film soundtracks.
ANDY FOSSFENN is the bass player, co-composer and mainly text writer. He is born and raised in England near the town Reading and grew up in the crowned days of punk, with a background in various English bands. He was brought up "the hard way", where charity and transportation support were unknown phenomena, and where the few chances you get seem so hopeless that Andy proudly describes one of the highlights of his English career, when he and his band was warm-up for Erasure back in the 80s. Later on Andy moved to Denmark and was previously a member of Excess Bleeding Heart.
He is also an adept studio-engineer, and very mush in love with Karina since '92.
