The band was formed in the idyllic Norwegian countryside, not too far from the great waterfalls of Hønefoss, in the spring of 1999 with a burning desire to create or perhaps recreate some of the musical expressions of the early seventies,-specially in the use of the instruments of that time and the somewhat "strange" compostions of the progressive rock scene from 1969 - 1974. In a few months the basic ideas for the demo and the full length album "Hinterland" was created. There was a pause from 2001 to around 2003, when they figured it was too bad to let those old songs die without any proper recordings of'em. So the demo was recorded at Lars' studio, put out on the internet and they started living their own life. After a while it kind of took off..
Wobbler ended up signing a record deal with the US-label The Laser's Edge.
By now, Lars' vintage keyboard collection was getting out of hand, and the insane recording of Hinterland was about to begin in June 2004. There wasn't allowed to use any midi what-so-ever, and only pre-1975 instruments were applied (..ok, the rhodes' we used were from 1979).
After eight intense months of studio work the album was ready. The hype from the demo songs had now reached it's peak, and the expectations were sky-high. In July 2005 "Hinterland" was revealed at one of their rare live performances, at the Near-fest gig.
Now the band is prepering their second album; a re-recording of the two old demos plus two new songs.
