Their debut album, No Hay Banda, was winning in the Norwegian music awards Spellemannprisen in the category Best Metal Album of 2005. Tofthagen has participated in the six albums released by Audrey Horne to date.
Parallel to this, he was a constant member of the hard rock band Sahg between 2004 and 2015, recording four studio albums, until he decided to resign for personal reasons. He was replaced by Ole Walaunet.
