Wig Wam

Wig Wam formed in Norway in 2001, a glam rock quartet with Åge Sten Nilsen on vocals, Trond Holter on guitar, Bernt Jansen on bass, and Øystein Andersen on drums. Their self-titled debut album arrived in 2005, featuring tracks like 'Do Ya Wanna Taste It' and 'In My Dreams' that established their sound, big choruses, loud guitars, and a theatrical energy pulled straight from the '70s and '80s glam playbook.

They followed up with albums like 'Hard To Be A Rock 'n' Roller' in 2006 and 'Non Stop Rock 'n' Roll' in 2010, sticking to their guns with anthems such as 'Rocket Through My Heart' and 'The Bigger The Better.' Their live shows earned them slots opening for acts like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard, building a reputation for high-energy performances that matched the flash of their recordings.

While their flamboyant style sometimes drew criticism, they kept at it, releasing 'Wall Street' in 2021. Songs like 'Do Ya Wanna Taste It' became staples on rock radio, not so much reinventing the wheel as polishing it up for a new crowd that still wanted a good time.
