Pogo Pops

Pogo Pops

Pogo Pops was a pop rock band from Bergen, Norway, established in 1987 under the name of The Doomsville Boys. The Doomsville Boys were a trio and released an EP in 1989 containing 6 songs. The band changed name to Pogo Pops in 1990 after Domenic O`Fahey joined. Pogo Pops is often considered the band that defined the Bergen Wave, followed by artists like Kings of Convenience and Röyksopp. Led by Frank Hammersland, the band released four albums in the 1990s, all of them dominated by Hammersland's melodious pop rock. The band was well received by the critics, but only attained moderate commercial success, and Hammersland dissolved the band in 1996. Hammersland released a solo album which was also very well received by critics but didn't sell very well, before he started the band Popium with several musician friends from Bergen. Popium continued the pop rock style of Pogo Pops.

Pogo Pops was reunited in 2006 for a series of concerts and a compilation album. Pogo Pops still tours throughout 2007.
