Bio:
Bassplayer and singer Espen ( x-Babel, Orange, Böyen beng etc.) was out driving with his friend Thomas in southern Sweden, as they tried to figure out whom to play guitar and drums In Espen`s new idea of a band, Anders::Plywood. Trym Hagen (Renton, mute) used to play guitar with Thomas in his early days, so Espen called Trym as soon as he got home and they formed the band together late in august 2000. After a while, rehearsing with their first drummer-Eirik Renton, (Now Trollfest), they called Kjetil Veum which used to be the drummer in Babel, he was urging for a band, so he joined in rightaway.
In August 2001 the band entered studio and recorded an 8 track demo. 4 tracks were picked out to become a promotional ep. 2 of the songs, Pond and Be a fool are also available at the snowboard film Sist Vinter 3, made by wax-tv!
During 2001 Anders::Plywood did a few gigs. The band spent alot of time rehearsing and it started to pay off. The band were picked out to join the zoompop compilation (early in 2002) contributing with the song Nathan, and the song got great reviews. The gigs started to get crowded up, People seemed to enjoy great norwegian rock music!, and the autumn of 2002 a record deal was signed with the indy label Bubblesound! wanna be the king! ep is released in january 2003.
