About this concert
The members of legendary Norwegian boogie rockers Backstreet Girls haven’t exactly been living ordinary, routine lives since the band’s inception in 1984, something everyone who has seen the 2016 documentary film “Backstreet Girls - Back to Muotathal” (available on VOW216EDVD) have witnessed first-hand. So it may be appropriate for them to call their new album "Normal is Dangerous". The album contains 12 new rockers (No ballads!!) and is released on Voices of Wonder Records. The recording was mainly done during an intense week in Recpublica Studios, a state-of-the-art studio in Poland, where BSG got free rein and the opportunity for 24-hour live-in-the-studio rock'n'roll along with producer Stamos Koliousis. Stamos has previously produced a large number of Norwegian rock and metal bands, such as Djerv, Fight the Fight, Iskald, Keep of Kalessin, Vreid, Carpathian Forest, Marathon and Virginia Hill. The combination BSG / Stamos have created a modern, open rock sound based on a collection of guitarist Petter Baarli’s trademark riffs, and we dare to say that the result is probably the band's best album in decades.

Backstreet Girls Biography
Backstreet Girls is a rock/punk/glam-band formed in Oslo, Norway in 1984 by two pair of brothers named Pål Kristensen (bass), Tom Kristensen (vocals), Petter Baarli (guitar) and Bjørn Terje Baarli (drums). They self-released their debut album, Mental Shakedown, in 1986, and just weeks later it was re-released by Mercury and the bands first record deal was a reality.
Tom Kristensen left the band before the debut was released and was replaced by Arne Aarnes. Before the release of the debut album, the band also had Stein Ramberg (guitar), Jon Berg (guitar) and Anders Kronberg (vocals) in their ranks, all for just a short period of time.
Before the recording of their second album, a new vocalist, Bjørn Müller (former Present Easter Bunnies, Z-Off and Quadromachetas), joined the band. With this lineup, the band recorded their two breakthrough albums and it is considered to be the "classic" Backstreet Girls lineup.
Three albums later, in 1991, the band split with both label and vocalist and signed with Warner Bros and Olle Hillborg from Glorious Bankrobbers. This lasted for one album and then the band broke with their label and changed vocalist once again. The new singer was Pat Diamond and he recorded one album with the band before he left. This album was not released at the time, but is now due to be released around Christmas 2007.
Bjørn Müller then rejoined the band and they signed a record deal with Face Front. In 1999, founding member Pål Kristensen left the band and was replaced by Morten Lunde (at the time also playing in The Mormones). Lunde was replaced by Dan Thunderbird in 2002 and in 2007, just before the recording of Shake Your Stimulator, founding member Bjørn Terje Baarli also left the band. After using numerous session drummers, Martin H-Son joined and Backstreet Girls was once again a quartet.
