Bio
With singer and storyteller Erlend Smalås in front of this bassy band, you can expect intriguing riffs, catchy melodies, a sense of madness and surreal stories. The Trilobitt blend is unique and surprising, yet welcoming, with references to indie pop, power jazz, 70s rock, poetry and spaghetti western.
The musicians have background from artists and bands like Dadafon, Rasmus og Verdens Beste Band, Spidergawd, Bárut, Glød, Ida Jenshus, Cirka Teater, Samvirkelaget, Fotefar and Hopalong Knut, and have won prizes like Spellemannsprisen and Alarmprisen (Norwegian Grammys).
Like their namesakes, the prehistoric arthropods, the 4-headed TRILOBITT of Trondheim has outlived numerous genres and epochs, which gives it a unique ability to adapt to the current ecosystem of music.
