The Jessica Fletchers formed in Oslo in 1997. The group hails from Norway and is firmly stuck back in the mid-'60s, with elements from garage-rock, some Beach Boys, Beatles and Spencer Davis Group.
After trying out some local pubs and clubs it didn’t take long before they recorded their self financed "unofficial" debut album I Can Shoot You From Here in 1998.
In 2000, after signing with Norwegian indie label Perfect Pop they released Sorry About The Noise EP, which went on to be an underground hit in the Oslo clubs. Come On (It’s Only Nine), recorded in 2002, spawned the soon-to-be-massive song Bloody Seventies Love, a song that would later cement the deal with guitar pop label, Rainbow Quartz.Having more recently toured with Swedish heavyweights The Hives, and American indie-psych-pop faves the Apples in Stereo, Norway based Jessica Fletchers are now set to storm the North American pop scene with their great new record, What Happened To The?
The band consists of:
Thomas Innstø - Lead Vocal & Guitar
Andreas Mastrup - Bass & Vocal
Rune Somdal - Guitar, Percussion & Vocal
Jan Henning Sørensen - Drums & Perc.
Mats Innstø - Organ/Rhodes, Vocal & Perc.
