Check out Republic, a new Norwegian band featuring Erlend Mokkelbost (JR Ewing, Killl) and Anders Tjore (The Turns, The Pop): http://www.myspace.com/republicproject
The band is rounded out by Even Ormestad (Jaga Jazzist, Marit Larsen) on bass and Andreas Bye (Bugge Wesseltoft's New Conceptions Of Jazz) and drums. The sound? White-boy funk. I'm not so sure about it.
