The group was formed by Lars Lillo-Stenberg in 1984. The other members were the bassist and vocalist Lars Fredrik Beckstrøm and the drummer Rune Lindstrøm. In 1986 Lindstrøm left the band and was replaced by Øystein Jevanord. In 1988 Jevanord left the band and he was replaced by Øystein Paasche.

In 1991 the band was completed by the guitarist Lars Lundevall. The new line-up recorded these albums:

Varme mennesker (Warm People) (1991), Neste sommer (Next summer) (1993), Mere (More) (1994), Sent og tidlig (Late and early) (1995), Stakkars (Miserable) (1997), Kast alle papirene (Throw away all the paper) (1999) and Midt i begynnelsen (In the middle of the beginning) (2002). Their debut LP "Suser avgårde" (1986), is regarded as one of their most popular records. The lyrics are very popular because they are very naïve & philosophic. They released their final record in 2002; "Midt i begynnelsen". In 2005, they released a compilation which is named "Festen er ikke over... det er kake igjen." ("The party ain't over... There's more cake left"). New album out now: "Trist å være glad" 2011.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Velkommen sett deg ned slapp av
Ingen her skal stille deg noen krav
Glem din dårlige samvittighet
Glem al verdens elendighet
Du skal få møte din beste venn
Du skal få nyte denne følelsen

Glem din kroppslige figur

Husk du er bare et stykke natur
Og du er her med alt som fins på jord
Så hør musikken ikke tenk på ord
Du skal få møte din beste venn
Du skal få nyte denne følelsen

Du skal snart få møte deg selv
Du er din beste venn det vet du vell
Du skal snart får møte deg selv
Du er din beste venn det vet du vell

Glem din dårlige samvittighet
Glem all verdens elendighet
Du trenger ikke være sint på deg selv
Du er din beste venn
Det vet du vell

Hør musikken ikke tenk på ord
Tenk på hav og himmel sol og jord
aaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaa

Hør musikken ikke tenk på ord
Tenk på hav og himmel sol og jord.
