Celeste Music

Remi Andrè Pernell Nordby (guitar), Espen Skjærlund (bass) and Øystein Indrevær (drums) formed Celeste september 14th 2006 when Bjørn Thomas Andreassen left the band Blend. The members live in Lillestrøm, close to Oslo, Norway.

The members of Blend played together for over ten years, and when Bjørn left, the three remaining members wanted to continue with music. They chose to start completely from scratch, and the music is a bit different now than it was in the Blend-period. Celeste is closer to the rock-genre than Blend was, but the music still contains many of the same preferences.

Celeste spent the end of 2006 and almost all of 2007 creating new songs, but they played some gigs as well in between. In 2008, they also played some gigs, in addition to the recording of the EP "Bring It Back EP".

The EP was released by Nordic Records on the 27th of April 2009, and the first track, "Panic Attack", reached 13th place on the Norwegian charts. Celeste was also aired on Norwegian radio and played a lot of gigs during spring and autumn 2009.

Celeste recorded their debut-album with producer Lars-Erik Westby (Surferosa, Autopulver + +) in late 2009, and the album will be released before Christmas 2010.

The first single from the album, "(Standing Together) In Grief", was released 16th of August 2010
