My Misspent Youth

Eirik and Finn from Twigs teamed up with Halldis from Side Effects and Markus from Paynbird to make some new and wonderful music. The band recorded several songs during the winter of 2005/2006. A three track single was released in April, featuring the songs Six Point Eight, Heart of Mine and Where the Fools are Haunted. In March 2006 Terje joined the band on guitar and keyboards. Later that year, Eirik sadly left the band. Heart of Mine was featured on the compilation cd "Bergen Rock City Vol 2", who was released in China. 10 000 copies were made for distribution there.
