About Me

When goldilocks Ginger and keyboard wizard Mishka met electro-rock-chic Sunny on a bar in London, something was bound to happen. In-between unhealthy amounts of Guinness and polish liquor shots, arguments about the proper height of heels changed places with discussions about the state of modern music technology.

A few weeks later the trio was on its way to Siberia to play a gig in an abandoned hangar, eating dried reindeer meat and bathing in vodka. Things will never be the same again.

Tøyen Airport is currently collecting frequent flyer miles by the thousands, going back and forth between Oslo and Stockholm, working on their debut album with Swedish pop-producer Jock-E, who has acts like Ace of Base, Dannii Minogue and Human League to his name.
