In the autumn of 2012 Kjetil Jerve and Andreas Wildhagen began Masters degrees at the Norwegian Academy of Music with a clean slate, in a positive way. The goal was to play a lot with some of their favourite musicians. Through collaborative projects during the Fall, they experimented with many compositional and improvisational ideas, tight and loose structures and different instrumentation. The trio format has been consistent, and now we will see the premier of a quartet that was put together based on  this autumns projects. Original compositions and collaborative improvisation has yielded exciting results!

Fridriksson / Grönberg / Helgerød
For the first time, these three men are on a stage together as a trio. In a slightly unusual combo with rhodes, guitar and drums, self-composed music will be presented- both old and new material. The driving force of the band is the balance between playful and creative interaction, and an expressiveness and rawness! The band promises sweat pop grooves, rock riffs, SRW Twang and great enthusiasm! Enjoy a firecracking groovy show!
