Broadway News - Banco (CD)

BROADWAY NEWS - BANCO (1981)
Broadway News was a pop group from Oslo that was started around 1978. The vocalist in the beginning was Mikkel Magnus. As early as 1979, he thanked himself and was replaced by Lage Fosheim as the new vocalist and lyricist. Broadway News appeared as a sextet, consisting of Lage Fosheim, Steinar Engdal, Trond Ødegård, Torstein Bieler, Tommy Aaslie and Jan Erik Løken in addition to dancers: Maiken Nielsen, Kirsti Dahl and Gry Sandland. Broadway News drew full houses across the country with its new wave-inspired symphore rock and its choreographed stage show, not unlike the American band The Tubes. In 1981, the group was disbanded, but Fosheim started it all again with a new crew: Bjørn Kristensen, Bengt Olsson, Eivind Rølles, Kjell Trøsvik and Kjetil Rindal. Now Fosheim wanted to try out new musical ideas using Latin American rhythms. In September, the first result was in the form of the single "Morgenda'n er vår" / "Look at me" - a preview of the album Banco. Broadway News was finally disbanded in 1982, after three albums.
