Artist History The whole idea began back in 1997/98 when all the bandmembers lived in the same town, Levanger. We had this house where we used to go [Fenka], and there it was possibilities to start a band. We had problems finding ourselves a name - what where we to do? A coupple of months went by, and then one day an old teacher in school was telling this story about one time he was in africa on a safari. And on that safari he had a big safariknife - and safariknife is safarikniv in norwegian. We thaught it was a cool name. Meaning nothing... hehe.. so that's why it's the name safarikniv. Our first gig was back in 1998. It was terrible! Our drummer where pounding away on the set - leaving us a coupple of measures behind. But hey! The audience loved us.. so we practiced like hell - for a whole year. The next concert we played was in 1999. Then the setlist was much better - our music was thight. The show was great, and the audience loved us. So we're still up and standing. Making new songs - and there will probably come an album during the year 2000. We have no record contract, so we are hoping to get one soon. Hopefully this will happen.

Press Reviews Listen.com review; These Norwegians blast a vicious, heavy and hard punk attack. They wear their influences on their sleeve, and don't yet match TRBNGR's punishing power [by Mark M.]
