The Disciplines – Yours for the Taking Smoking Kills
Biography
Ken Stringfellow - Vocals
Bjørn Bergene - Guitars
“Ralla” - Drums
Bård Helgeland - Bass
The Disciplines came from a fortuitous meeting: the singer of Briskeby, Lise Karlsnes, met the singer of The Posies, Ken Stringfellow, while the latter was entertaining an entire MTV music awards afterparty, taking requests at the piano (Ken was there playing with R.E.M., he is their keyboard player). This was in 2001, just after Stringfellow’s second solo album, Touched, has been released, and he was pleasantly surprised to find someone requesting one his songs, a request he gladly granted. The two became friends and thru Lise Ken met the rest of Briskeby (Bjørn Bergene, guitarist; Bård Helgeland, bassist; and Claus Heiberg-Larsen; drummer) inviting them to the R.E.M. show in Oslo in early 2005. Bonds were solidified in a late night session at Teddys jukebox bar; promises were made and the one that was kept was that they would all do something musical together in the future. Luckily, the other, less noble, promises were forgotten by morning! R.E.M. returned to Oslo in the summer of 2005 and in the scant free hours between early morning arrival and the show, Ken went to a studio and fashioned a duet with Lise on what would become Briskebys most successful song, Joe Dallesandro.
