Former US Senators

About Me

Former US Senators is a norwegian rockband stationed in the beautiful west coast rock n' roll city Aalesund.In june 2004 Former US Senators started recording their debut EP "no diamond dobs, please..." The EP was released in january 2005, and got great critics from the local music-press. The charming homemade sound, the handmade labels and the undefinable music ended in a total sell-out after only two months.In the summer of 2005, the Former US Senators went on a recording-holliday in the world-famous Geiranger fjord. The combination of beautiful norwegian nature, lots of Jack Daniels, red wine, beer and meat, gave the band the start they needed for their new project, the album "Banished from Nashville".The song "Hip Hop Show" from the album is already making people dance, and was presented on Norwegian Radio NRK P3 with lots of positive feedback.The song "Smile" from the album is track number 12 on an album with Norwegian bands released in China this fall.
