The jam-session posed the questions:

1. Shall we play ourselves?
2. Do we need to practice?

The session was documented by Small Mustache Productions © 2009

Helle and Magnhild were still fired up about the idea of forming a band. At the second band-meeting, during breakfast, we tried to remember all the ideas that had whizzed through the air the previous night.

We made a forum at http://www,underskog.no, called “Ideas for the band”, where we decided to capture our ideas.

One of the things that stands out from that first band-meeting is the shared feeling of how wonderful it would be when people asked us “So what do you do?”, and we could answer “I’m in a band”.

Some time was spent on brainstorming on a name for the band, but none have stood out so far.

We very quickly came up with the idea that what the band needed was documentation. – Of it’s many conflicts, the forming of the band, the jam-sessions, gigs, tours and how the band develops.

We also started brainstorming on characters for the band and styling, costumes and band-merchandise. Magnhild for instance talked at length about the white leather-boots she had worn as a tambourin-major! Where the Mamas in The Mamas and the Papas also inspired by this?
