Founded in 1998, more than a decade of rock'n roll has offered three critically acclaimed albums and over 160 concerts for the hard-hitting power trio Jaqueline from Elverum, Norway - which plays rock music based on classic rock and old school heavy metal, with a pinch of pop harmonies. The band consists of Morten Wærhaug (lead vocals, guitar), Marius Drogsås Hagen (vocals, bass) and Bjarne Ryen Berg (Drums).
Morten, Marius and Bjarne practically grew up together. Carrying various strange bandnames, the band's initial years were spent playing local clubs, recording lots of homegrown EPs, and most importantly: Rehearsing an awful lot. In fact, Morten and Bjarne started playing together in 1995 - at the age of 12 and 11. On why they decided to form a band, the Jaqs subtlely states: "There wasn't much else to do". What goes without saying, however, is that the threepiece has a genuine love of playing and listening to rock music. Morten states: "It's a permanent disease. It won't go away". Bearing in mind that these three guys spent their teenage-days collectively locked up in a rehearsal room, it's no wonder they're notorious for their tight sound, and intuitive playing. Jaqueline also stands as living proof that the dark forrests of south-eastern Norway not only are capable of nurturing black metal.
Achievements: Rave reviews nationwide on their three album-releases, "Idiots" (2005 - dubbed "Norwegian rock debut of the year" in nationwide Dagbladet), "Reaping Machines" (2006), and "Cape Horn" (2009). Official By:Larm artist 2007. Official By:Larm artist 2009. "Ukas urørt" on NRK P3 in July 2006. Multiple interviews and features in the nationwide press; NRK P3 (Harald Are Lund, Pyro, Urørt), NRK P2, Kanal24, P4, Dagbladet, TV2, Moox TV, Scream Magazine, etc. Over 160 gigs in their belts, including two extensive tours in Norway, alongside with support gigs for WE, Amulet, Ricochets, Animal Alpha and Stonegard, and festival spots in Germany. Booked twice for Terje Håkonsen's infamous "The Artic Challenge"-event. Several successful music videos aired frequently on ZTV and NRK Svisj.
