lyrics are sung in a dialect from Hallingdal, Norway,\u00a0a region\u00a0in the middle of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The group formed in 1990 and consists of\u00a0 8 members:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aslag Haugen &#8211; Lead vocals, guitar, writing the music on most of the tracks.<\/li>\n<li>Arne Henry Sandum &#8211; Electric bass-guitar<\/li>\n<li>Lars Haavard Haugen &#8211; Lead guitar, resonator guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, pedal steel etc.<\/li>\n<li>Bj\u00f8rn Gunnar Sando &#8211;
