Quick! What is Ephemera?
Ephemera is a girlband from Norway.
Huh? Who are Ephemera?
The band consists of three blonde girls, Inger Lise Størksen (24), Christine Sandtorv (25) and Jannicke Larsen (25) from the village Laksevåg outside Bergen. The girls met at a very young age and have played together for nine years. They released their first album at the age of 17 / 18 and took the music press by surprise. These girls are very empowered, leaving nothing to chance. All songs are written by themselves, they play all instruments, Christine desings albums, promo stuff and the website, and they own their own record company (Ephemera Records). For production, Yngve Sæthre is the man. He is known from producing Dum Dum Boys' records.
Ephemera have released three albums to date (feb. 02), and the second one (Sun) got sort of famous. At least it grabbed the attention of NRK Petre and BBC. These girls went for quality, and the quality networks listened. They got nominated to the biggest music award in Norway for the album "Sun".

They sing in English,
