Meet the Band - Fantasy at REUNION 2008 - Fantasy at REUNION 2007 - Fantasy at REUNION 2000 - Fantasy in the 70's - The Story - Next Live Gig
A few corrections to the story in Ringerikes Blad nov. 2000:
Kjell Karlsrud (guitar) and Erik Øveren played in a band called Furo Fusus (together with today's drummer Elmar Karlsen and a bass player named Jan Johnsrud). When Kjell and Erik met Knut Amundsen (guitar), Bjørn-Atle Gjerdalen (drums) and Erik Tjøm (bass) they quit and formed the band FANTASY (1974). At the same time drummer Elmar Karlsen was asked to join another local band - Nautilus.
Then at a teenage-party at Fossen restaurant in Honefoss they met Kjersti (summer of 1975) and asked her to rehearse with the band and possibly join if the rehearsel went out successful... Kjersti said yes - showed up - and sang all the guys into a light coma :-)) she did a fantastic (and her very own) version of the classic pearl "The House of the Rising Sun". Then we were 6 - and the band were complete ! To be continued....
That was then - this is now !
