BiographySeptember 2008
The Moving Oos began in 2005 as a collaboration between some of
Trondheim, Norway's most accomplished musicians, and consists of
members and ex-members of bands such as The International Tussler
Society, Cadillac, Nullskattesnylterne, Dadafon and New Violators. Their sound is
ultimately a bluesy retro-soul - sometimes sleazy and sometimes funky
rock 'n' roll, in the vein of The Faces, MC5's, Humble Pie and early
Rolling Stones. Long before the band entered Athletic Sound Studios to
record their debut album in late 2006, Moving Oos had already made a
huge impact as one of the best new live bands on the Norwegian club
circut. Their debut album "Peace and Love" was released in February 2007, and the first single "Romancer" went straight into heavy rotation on Norway's flagship rock radio P3's
A-list, and stayed there for 15 solid weeks. Just one more week and the
stations all-time record would have been broken. Following awesome
album reviews in the press, the second single "Minister of Love" spent
a whopping 10 weeks on the same A-list. Even America's favorite
reviewers Pitchfork hailed the album as " a brain-teaser of a good
record". The festival summer of 2007 turned out to be the busiest ever,
with the band playing all the majors: Hovefestivalen, Storåsfestivalen,
Stavern, Pulpit, Namsos, Vika and Øyafestivalen to name a few, and made
several appearances on TV.
In September 2007 they were nominated for two Alarm Awards in the categories "Best Song" - for "Romancer" and "Best New Artist". We are proud and excited to report
that the band took home the award for "Best New Artist". They also got nominated in the category "Best Rock Record" at the 2007 Spellemannsprisen.
2008 has been a productive year for the band, as they started to work their second album. The band went back to Athletic Sound to record with Kai Andersen.
The new album
...and Understandingis due to be released October 6'th 2008.
