About Me


POETS:
Poets is two guys from Bergen, Norway; Thorvald Johannessen and Geir B. Aabø. Most of the time they have been stuck in the attic of an old wooden house making their music. The songs that are, and will be available, here are recorded by Poets alone or together with their friends. More and more often they can be seen on small venues where they play together with the eminent backing band, The Munchies.

THE MUNCHIES:
Members of the Munchies has so far been Kjetil B. Aabø who has played bass, synth and has done some backing vocals, Affen who has played bass, guitar, synth and percussion, Ben Hellfire who played drums for a while and last, but not least Helge Haugland who kicks ass on the drums and does backing vocals these days.
