Sounds Like
alternative soundtrack to old 70's series like "The streets of San Fransisco" and movies like "Shaft" and "Bullit"
Nova is a band from Telemark - Norway - playing detectivemusic.
Inspired by those cool 70ies detective series and movies, they try to take you back to the time of large sideburns, huge bell-bottoms and high-flying collars.
På norsk: lange kinnbarter, slengbukser og store snipper
The band has been playing together since 1998, and some may recognize members from other bands like Come Taste the Band, Ni Liv, Dan Riis Band, Wolfpack and Rags to Riches.
The line-up includes real Hammondorgan and horns, and a night with Nova is guaranteed to be a funky one!
