Since Tubesnakes released their 2nd CD Texas Minded, collecting great reviews from both blueslovers and other musiclovers all over the world, their electric Texas–style blues rock with British undertones has been getting more and more popular in north-western Europe. 
 

Texas minded was partly recorded in Austin,TX. in October 2001, starring two great guitar players – Alan Haynes and John McVey. Grammy winning studio engineer: Mark Nathan.

The rest of the songs were recorded in Norway, at “Lydloftet Studio” in Ølen on the southwest coast of Norway. 

Tubesnakes have been touring Norway for almost 10 years as a power-trio, but with Texas Minded a new member joined the band, adding that good old Hammond sound.
 

In february 2004 the band went to Nashville, TN to do some recording for the label

"Wild Oats Records", and to do a couple of showcase-gigs.

The recorded songs are to be used on a "Blues Series"-release along with a few

American artists.

Afterwards they had a "mini-tour" in Austin, TX, requested by friends and fans in the bluescity.

Lineup: Lars Vad(guit/voc), Per Hauan(Hammond/piano), Johnny Stensletten(bass) and Per Inge Stensletten(drums).
 

These guys have been sharing stages with great names like: Omar & The Howlers, Alan Haynes,
John McVey,  Deborah Coleman, Peter Green, Gary Moore, Slade, Jeff Healey Band, Bluebirds, Vidar Busk etc...
