Liliedugg was formed in Trondheim 1980 and on their debut EP they consisted of Lars (vocals), Gunnar & Steinar (guitars), Torgeir (bass), Lard (drums). They released this infamous EP in 1981 and a full length two years later. The first version of this beauty came with a pornographic cover. The bands distributor refused to carry it and sell it. The band caved in and printed up a more neutral cover. The neutral cover is considered the most rare version as it was only sold in a few stores and the band continued to sell the pornographic version at their gigs. Liliedugg was known for outrageous stage performances with a mix of Punk and Hardrock and from the EP to their only full-length album their music went in a darker and more experimental direction. Lyrically, the focus was then more on English lyrics. Subsequent releases include a split LP with Wannskrækk and a split 7Inch with Helter Skelter, as well as several songs on Compilations. 1984 they broke up, but they continued to play a reunion concert once in a while. In 2006 they reformed as a band. In 2007 they released a discography CD called Sannhetens Voktere. In November 2006, Liliedugg & Wannskrækk played a reunion concert at UFFA. Since then they occasionally performed reunion concerts and finally made a mini-CD Slow Atomic Bomb in 2007. Enjoy four exceptional tracks from an interesting band that only managed to make the leap to other Norwegian heroes to a limited extent; a great EP in any case.
Listening to this one a lot. Thanks!!
