About phill
Formed in 2003 as Significant Elements, guitarist/singer Jørn and bassplayer Eirik found guitarist Eric and drummer Alex, and started rehearsing right away. A couple of shows later, Eirik quit and Alex was replaced by drummer and longtime friend of Jørn, Stix. Kim came in on bass, and the band changed the name to Blind Faith. By 2005, Eric and Kim quit the band right before a show, and the band had to make a quick change in the line-up, with Henning, the younger brother of Jørn, replacing Eric on guitar. The line-up remained, and a name-change was in it's place, creating the band Necronomicon. The band continued until the end of summer 2006, when the band finally found a suiting bassplayer. Hansa joined the bassless band, and yet another name-change appeared around the corner, naming the band Phill. The name was inspired by a man named Philip, a guy who had followed the band since the very beginning, and still remains the band's number one fan. He is also a very good friend of the band, and takes on the role of a road crew member during shows. During the fall of 2006, Phill finally recorded a suitable demo in a makeshift studio provided by longtime friend and ex-guitarist Eric, and the Proud To Be Awesome EP finally saw the light of day. Phill continues to play shows and record songs through their hometown of Oslo, Norway and in the suburbs surrounding.
In 2007, Jørn quit the band. Henning says this "Jørn has fuckin' quit, to focus on Whore Adore and Phill is continuing without Jørn. We're now just starting to rehearse the old songs and bringing out new tunes. Gigs will appear on the later period of the year"
