Bigbang has been dubbed “Norway’s Greatest Live Band” and is major force in the Norwegian music scene. During the past two years, the band has spent time focusing on the American market.
Based in California, they criss-crossed the country playing intimate gigs and promoting their North American debut, 2008’s From Acid to Zen.
Edendale has strong ties to Bigbang’s adopted home in California.
Front man and founder Øystein Greni explains: “The area of Los Angeles today known as Echo Park/Silverlake used to be called Edendale around the time when the silent movie industry took off. Charlie Chaplin’s studio -now a storage place - is on my block, and Walt Disney’s first film studio was across the street from the local Trader Joes. In Europe we tend to romanticize things and people from the past; here it’s all about moving on to the next project."
Released internationally earlier this year to stellar sales, the Stateside version of Edendale, due out January 19, includes three new exclusive tracks and was co-produced at Los Angeles’ legendary Sound City Studios by Bigbang’s founder Øystein Greni and Greg Richling (Wallflowers and Black Flag).

These guys rule. I miss them greatly. It's been over a year since I have seen them in LA. Always a good show.
