I moved to Tromsø from Andenes in 98'. From '98 to late '03 I played the guitar in a couple of local bands, most notably "Prentice Wood" ('98-'03) and "Idiamean" ('03-'04). In between there have been a couple of other (cool, funny, stupid...) projects; Kiss-, Zeppelin-, Queen-, Dio- and Rainbow-tributes; coverbands; "jams" and some minor bandprojects that ended after 3-4 rehearsals...
