Haven`t seen this mentioned previously, but a couple of members of Wig Wam have joined Jorn namely :- Guitarist - Trond Holter (TEENY) Bassist - Bernt Jansen (FLASH) Should be interesting!

Maybe a break will give the band the inspiration to go back to the over-the-top hooks that we know and love.]]> snuffball NoticeboardFri, 25 Jan 2013 02:11:55 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,927881,928048#msg-928048 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,927881,928048#msg-928048Niv]]> nivjourney NoticeboardThu, 24 Jan 2013 10:21:32 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,927881,928003#msg-928003 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,927881,928003#msg-928003 rocknut NoticeboardThu, 24 Jan 2013 03:40:33 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,927881,927997#msg-927997 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,927881,927997#msg-927997The new one ("Bring Heavy Rock To The Land") though have more variation than in many years, and he's on the right track"

Absolutely! I thought Spirit Black was a step in the right direction already with the awesome Rock & Roll Angel and World Gone Mad. The latest effort had some great songs too but it's in many ways just more of the same with little variation. The sound is almost exactly the same, just a little more refined.

Thanks for the updated info on both Jorn and the Wig Wam guys.

On the Wig Wam side, they don't do much. After the previous album "Non Stop Rock 'N' Roll" they did many concerts, mainly in Norway but also some gigs in Europe (like the H-E-A-T Festival in 2010).
But after the release of "Wall Street" (spring/early summer of 2012) they did one TV-appearance in Norway (on TV2's "Sommertid") and only ONE concert in Bergen in the autumn. That's way too bad!

But why? Well, Glam (Åge Sten Nilsen) have been busy with his Queen-show "The Show Must Go On" which has been a huge success for 5 years in Norway. And he has also produced a new Michael Jackson show "The Thrill Of Michael Jackson".

Meanwhile Trond "Teeny" Holter have done studio work in his own studio, done a few gigs with Dream Police, toured with Jorn in Norway and South America.
Bernt "Flash" Jansen" have been working as a teacher (his main job), but have now joined Jorn as well.
But together Trond and Bernt have another new band/project going on called Baby Snakes. They are putting the finishing touches on their upcoming album. Check out their first single/video "Gunslinger" here:

Wig Wam is not over (yet?), but little are in the works for them at the moment. But let's hope they'll be back someday soon!
