Biography Hedvig Mollestad Trio
Hedvig Mollestad Trio
is a musical outfit headed by Norwegian guitarist Hedvig MOLLESTAD THOMASSEN, known for her activity in the new heavy prog outfit EL DOOM & THE BORN ELECTRIC. The band is made up of MOLLESTAD THOMASSEN on guitar, Ellen BREKKEN on double bass, and Ivar LOE BJØRNSTAD on drums. The trio formed in 2011 as an outfit for MOLLESTAD THOMASSEN's jazz and prog rock inspired music ideas to be brought to fruition.
The trio released their debut album "Shoot!" September 23, 2011. The album is heavily based in a bluesy form of jazz fusion as well as a crunchy freeform prog rock reminiscent of LED ZEPPELIN and RUSH.
In 2013 they released their second album, "All of Them Witches", followed by their third, "Enfant Terrible", in 2014, both being very much in the same style as the debut.
Their music will appeal to fans of LED ZEPPELIN, THE MARS VOLTA, MOTORPSYCHO, and other jazz-influenced hard rock bands.
