Release Notes:
--------------
Thorstein Elvestad and Bjorn Nilsen formed Jetsurfers in 1999. Vidar
Fredsvik and Knut Carlsson was recruited, and the 6 track CD
ôJetsurfers - Saloonö was released later that year by Coco Pelli
Records. Among the many gigs the band did to follow this release, was a
dozen acoustic performances in jails and prisons in the southern part
of Norway.
Grammofon AS Electra released their first long player, the critically
acclaimed Jetlagged In Jetland late in 2000. The album gained good
reviews in the Norwegian media, and its songs was frequently aired on
radio stations all over Scandinavia.
Audun Norgaard replaced Carlsson in May 2001, and Lars Linkas replaced
Vidar Fredsvik early in 2002. These two new members added new
dimensions to JetsurfersÆ music, and kept the band moving in the right
direction.
Grammofon AS Electra released their second long player, ôWildcardsö in
2002. The song ôFireworksö became a hit at many radio stations, and
once again the band gained good reviews. Sadly, the record company did
nothing to support it, so it didnÆt do as well as the first album.
By mid 2003 Jetsurfers was playing regularly at the acclaimed club
Muddy Waters in Oslo, and decided to record a live album at the venue.
ôAn Evening At Muddy Watersö was released by the band, and sold really
well at gigs and through the official web pages. It was hailed as their
best work to date by several reviewers.
Lars Linkas decided to leave the band early in 2004, and was replaced
by Cato Monrad. Monrad joined just in time to participate in the
recording of some songs for the new album, and the celebration of
Jetsurfers five-year anniversary. Only to be replaced by the multi
talented Ulf H. Aass later that year.
One Stop Entertainment is releasing ôFive Years Down The Roadö in
Norway in July 2005. This anniversary album contains both new
recordings and re-mastered versions of previously released songs. The
songs from this album are gaining a lot of attention on radio stations
all over Europe through a campaign by Comstock Records (Arizona, US).
Jetsurfers has been really active on the road during these years. The
band has played more than 500 gigs, including support slots for Mick
Taylor, Johnny Winter, Hellbillies and Buddy Miller, and performed at
several Norwegian festivals. This tight schedule of live performances
has earned the band a well-deserved reputation as ôone of NorwayÆs
greatest live actsö.
Jetsurfers are influenced by among others: Bob Dylan, The Rolling
Stones, Johnny Cash, Georgia Satellites, The Allman Brothers Band and
Steve Earle.
Perris Records and DWM Music Company distribute Jetsurfers early
records in the US.
