The Whitest Boy Alive is a musical group based in Berlin. The band comprises Norwegian singer/guitarist Erlend Øye, who is also a member of the band Kings of Convenience, bassist Marcin Öz, drummer Sebastian Maschat, and Daniel Nentwig on Rhodes piano and Crumar. Erlend Øye is from Norway, while the rest of the band is German.
They started as an electronic dance music project in 2003 in Berlin, but have since slowly developed into a band with no programmed elements. Their German record label is Bubbles. Their debut album Dreams was released on June 21, 2006 in Germany. In July 2007, Modular Records signed them to their UK imprint and the band played their first UK performance with New Young Pony Club at the London Astoria in September 2007. The album was released in the UK with the single Burning in November 2007. The Band released their second album Rules in March 2009. It was recorded in a newly built studio located on Punta Burros, Nayarit, Mexico.
The band will start The Whitest Boy Alive + The New Wine tour in April, 2009 (Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden).

After Sydney @ the barracks: Loved the emphasis on improv. Not so sure about the lengthy transitions between songs. If it wasn't for the solo later on, I'd still be asking - the guy on keys - why. I'm glad Dreams made some appearances. The mid-set nerdy monologue was unexpected and something different, haha. Pretty decent show ;) I'm glad I finally saw you guys do your thing and most of all, it was great to see that talented guy, Erlend.
