Dug out dennis reksten fra elektrisk regn house of the
Biography
The singer is the well known Dennis Reksten, who works at Bergen's most famous rock pub, Garage. Elektrisk Regn writes Norwegian lyrics and sing in Bergen dialect. Their debut album Steinbyen was released in 1982 and shows that Reksten manages to write both funny and serious lyrics concerning serious themes (some times heavy political themes). Their most famous song is “Naboen er nynazist” (“My neighbour is a neo-Nazi”).
Their second album Kropp uten sjel arrived three years later, but then they had to wait till 2002 before the next album was released. Stein igjen shows that the band still knows how to make great new-wave rock, but they never managed to reach the charts.
They arranged gigs on an irregular basis in Bergen from time to time.
