THE SHORT VERSION: THE BLUEJAYS ARE PROBABLY THE MOST EXCITING BAND EVER TO EMERGE FROM HØYJORD, NORWAY. NOW, HOW'S THAT FOR A CV? INTRIGUED? SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE HOLY SCRIPTURES MY FRIEND: The Bluejays are a young, up-and-coming, Norwegian act, most of the band members have yet to reach their twenties. The band consists of brothers Bendik and Jakob Fiskå, who share vocal duties and play guitars, childhood friend Sigve Rosslund on drums, and Hans Petter Lund Jørgensen as bass player. Bendik, Jakob and Sigve, all three hailing from the same Norwegian village, early understood that music was the best way to kill time in the cultural vacuum of rural Norway. The only viable way of living was to shut themselves out from the life of their peers and rather absorb lives being lived hundreds of miles away, by staying in, listening to bands like The Beatles, Oasis, Suede and The Kinks with religious fervour. After playing together in different bands, mostly for fun, the Fiskå brothers and Sigve last year decided to find a bass player and finally form the band that they had been fantasizing about through those lonely, dark winter nights. After endless late hours spent drawing up a masterplan, and after countless false starts and derailed projects, our heroes stumbled upon a new morning and committed it to tape. And it didn't take long before they realized that this was going so well that the music they produced in the rehearsal space was worth taking to the stage. This led to a series of rapturously received gigs in their hometown, as well as their first gigs abroad in London this May. En route to greatness or oblivion, these are still the early days, and only time will tell where this story will end, but it's definitely a ride you want to be a part of from the beginning. You're all invited... Pretension and gibberish par excellence guaranteed.
Liker de nye sangene her gutter, faktis så jævla godt at dere klarte og gjøre en trist, kald og faens torsdag om til en dag der jeg kan drømme om piker, vin og sang, og kansje glemme mitt ellers så triste 8-16 liv.... Takk.
hey,guys! :) just wanted to say I love the new songs! ...sorry I haven't spoken to you in a while..haven't been around that much lately..came back from spain last week..:)
Hvordan går det? Ville bare si at det er knallbra greier dere har her. Det er liksom ikke den vanlige "dette har vi hørt før", men heller noe originalt. Er mektig imponert :) Masse lykke til videre!

Hello mine flotte Amigos, Jeg gleder meg sykt mye til helgen der jeg skal stå langt forran, drikke øl, hyle som ei jente og digge musikken deres. Kyss fra deres store fan.
