The sad news is that Hans Egil Løe is no longer part of our extended Alabama Rodeo Stars family. Too bad for him! The happy news is that he will join the band as a full time member! Good for him! Hans Egil will join the ensemble on electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, backing vocals and whatever else he can fiddle around with.
Most of you will know Hans Egil as a key member of Skambankt. Here he goes under the alias Hans Panzer (I hope I didn't reveal any secrets!). In Skambankt, which probably is one of Norways best rock & roll bands, Hans, who will be known as Hansi in The Alabama Rodeo Stars, plays guitar and sings backing vocals.
What does Hansi gain by joining The Alabama Rodeo Stars? Well first of all he joins a band who's literately much bigger than Skambankt. With eight members we're actually twice as big. He will also gain some respect in Norway's "growing" alt-country community.
Below are a couple of pictures of this rare specimen taken at a recent festival we played. Please join us in welcoming Hans Egil Løe to The Alabama Rodeo Stars Family.
