Looks Good on Television



SiRRAF - the band, the philosophy and guiding light was founded in Tangen, Norway in 1994. Norway was chaotic, the entire population suffering from major post-olympic depression after the Winter Games in Lillehammer the same winter. Olav Nordhagen and Tore Langberg Larsen gathered one sunny afternoon and decided to give the people an alternative. Along with the up-and-coming drummer Skjalg Lidsheim they were the clever brains behind the first wave. The first wave generated 3 full-length music cassettes with ideas and demos for the things ahead. From this early era we also find a recording from a legendary gig at Dean&Bogarts, Hamar in 1997. After the first submission was fulfilled Olav married the lovely princess and had a lot of kids, and Tore grabbed a local girl by her hair, forcing her to spend quality time with him. Skjalg on the other hand participated in almost every band project in Hamar the next 10 years. One cold winter evening in 2008 the boys flew in from different part of the world and gathered around a small, small table. They decided to work on submission no.2. Do a reunion gig and record an album to give the people of Norway and the rest of the world a package of love, hate, pain and pleasure. To bring further depth to the project they added Thomas Weensvangen as a full member of SiRRAF. In august 2009 the album le Grand Défilé finally hit the streets. During the summer of 2010 SiRRAF recorded their second album, Looks Good on Television. This time, the reckless, rugged sound was more polished, but still had lots of SiRRAF character.
