Trond Breen - vox, guitar, keys (and what little programming there may be), percussion, sitar, flute, mandolin, harmonica... in fact way too many instruments he doensn't know how to play that well.
Anders S Elle - bass, vox, some guitar once some years ago, perc, the odd synthesizer.
Erlend Soerensen - drums, perc, vox. And... all of trond's instruments, which erlend doesn't know how to play either.

Thought I better let you know so that you can’t say that you weren’t warned.
