A38 to Host KISS-inspired Norwegian Electronica

Ralph Myerz and The Jack Herren Band - which takes its name from an American director of sexploitation films Ralph Meyer and his fictional cinematographer Jack Herren -- was formed in 1997 when Erlend Sellevold advertised for a percussionist to join him at a party in Bergen, Norway. Thomas L?nnheim and Tarjei Str?m made the cut and the band was formed. Some early limited releases caught the attention of magazines and dj's around Europe, including Dimitri from Paris who included the track "Nikita" on a compilation CD. In 2002, they were signed by a US label and released an album. A couple of tracks from the album were club hits across Europe.
