Jenny Woolworth’s Women in Punk Blog

Happy Valentine’s Day to all you lovers and daggers out there! The Hungry Hearts, a multi-media, pin-up performance band from Oslo, Norway, are here to give as all a bit of lesbian love advice.

The group consists of seven ladies: Tonje Gjevjon, Line Halvorsen, Ingeborg Kolle, Edith Roth Gjevjon, Amina Bech, Henriette Høyskel and Mona K and “they are singing about kisses waiting to be found and about high-heeled shoes walking on the streets where car-doors open.” Intrigued, I wanted to know more about this sexy bunch of Nordic dames, so I trekked through snow and ice to reach them and here’s what I found out from the honey-voiced troop leader Tonje Gjevjon:

JW: What is one of your favorite sounds and what does it mean to you?
TG: Hammond organ is a nice sound, it reminds me of good music and crazy songs.

JW: Tell me about one of your most cherished records and why it is so important to you.
TG: David Bowie, Ashes to Ashes, because the song is about me.

JW: Who is a woman that has inspired you in your life, musically or otherwise?
TG: Frida Kahlo, because of her paintings, beauty,  pain and stubborness.
