Varde started playing in summer 2006, at Solbukta, Nesodden – Norway. Liv invited guitarist Sigmund and percussionist Kjell to record some samples and do some jamming together. When Tor came along half a year later, his additional drumming felt like it was done together with the other three of us live at Solbukta. Synchronicity! We were VARDE. We decided to use Liv’s label ‘BPS Productions’ (Beautiful People Society Productions) to release our cabin-made music. Our recordings are distributed by Phpnpfile/Artspages Norway.

Description The styles from which our sound takes form include soft dreamy pop to rock, punk, metal, world and classical music – all experimental, jazzy, shifting and moving. We want to explore and make the Sounds of Nature. In our way we play thunder and lightning, the glorious sun and universe, open and narrow landscapes, rain, cycles of the year, silent rivers, birds singing and human nature. The magical aspect of nature is present.”

The music of VARDE has always been difficult to describe, but we will give it a try. We like long songs. Consequently, VARDE is not a typical, radio-friendly band   (if that is defined by songs of 2,30 min.). We love to play live. The excitement of jumping the cliff in improvisation, as well as arranged songs, gives us a thrill and a feeling of being fully alive.
