Biography
DULL BOY JACK hails from the icy cold streets of Tromsø in Northern Norway. We have been blasting paint off the walls in festivals and venues throughout Northern Norway, living on nothing but free-flowing wild beer and the occasional famous grouse unfortunate enough to come in our way. Our granite sound and gut kickin' attitude goes beyond fancy labels and stickers. Just call it ROCK'N ROLL!
DULL BOY JACK was founded in 2006 by Einar Fagertun and Tommy Jakobsen (Onkel Huff), Guttorm Sørensen, Jarle M. Johansen and Øystein Johansen (Macho Cactus).
In 2008, Jarle and Øystein was replaced by Mattis Nyheim and Samuel Kuttner (Axon Hillock, Sid Lucie) and later, in 2010, Guttorm was replaced by Rune Sivertsen (Crayons, Earcandy, Supercluster), and Jarle joined the band again.
Tommy and Jarle left the band in fall 2015 and was then replaced by Thorbjørn Sverre Reppe (Acid Garden) and Magnus Pettersen (Climax Course).
After a few years of rocking and rolling, Thorbjørn left the nest in 2017, and was replaced by Markus Myrvold (Army of Power) (after a short gig with guitarist Eivind Killie).
After the summer of 2018, Magnus got the chance of his life to follow his dreams, and moved out of town.
For about a year we played as a quartet, but during fall 2019 a decent replacement (Marius) literally flew his way into our rehearsal room, and from that day, we were not a quartet anymore.
In Spring 2021, Markus decided to move on in his life and career and left the band. In came the new superstar, Sander Bærøy Johansen (Planet Remina), who was rocking DBJ around the clock for almost three years.
While covid stroke, rock went dead, but we kept the hope up, wrote a lot of songs and eventually recorded a full length studio album with the current lineup. But as time moved on, in 2024, the motivation for Einar and Sander dropped off, in favor for other projects. Suddenly we were standing without our long lived lead vocalist and our stable rhythm guitarist.
However, DBJ would not give in so easily. After a few auditions, we found Elin Kile (Ambitchous), the perfect lead singer to continue the journey with us. Welcome along Elin!
