Fearless silence makes the sound so clear

About Me


Eirik and Finn from Twigs teamed up with Halldis from Side Effects and Markus from Paynbird to make some new and wonderful music. The band recorded several songs during the winter of 2005/2006. A three track single was released in April, featuring the songs Six Point Eight, Heart of Mine and Where the Fools are Haunted.
In March 2006 Terje joined the band. His main instrument is guitar, but he also play keyboards. Later in the year, Eirik sadly left the band.
Heart of Mine was featured on the compilation cd "Bergen Rock City Vol 2", who was released in China. 10 000 copies were made for distribution there.
In May 2007 the "Six Point Eight ep" was released in China. On the ep you'll find the three songs from the first single plus Angelkisses, Token and I Want the Sun.
In April 2007 Terje left the band to move to Canada. The search for a new guitarist started, and we are very happy to announce that we found the right man for the job. His name is Stig and he plays some wild and noisy stuff, but also melodic when needed. Hopefully this new line-up will record some new material in the near future.
