Bluster
Stubborn Kinsman
Progrock in the 80´s - a rare and not so successful timing
In 1982 i formed Bluster. Jon Ole Grønnhaug came along as a guitarist and fellow songwriter. Jonner´n boosted the band into something real. Parallelled with Bluster a cooperation with drummer Per Espen Hagen evolved. We formed a second project called Stubborn Kinsman. A series of band followed and Bluster went through many faces and names until it ended up as Kultus mid 1980s. The band dissolved as a symbol of all my musical activities until now; The band went out without actually being anything other than a private sphere among the band members. My band career ended with Kultus as an private foundation without publicity or any real contact with reality. My early solo works was packed into something I called QPE - Quarter Past Eight. QPE followed me up to 1988 when we departed and I came out of the closet and became Jo Wang. I know Per Espen Hagen among others will put it this way: -QPE went into the closet and all that was left was Jo Wang. -
