Description

With the release of "Ambition Rocks",their first album in 25 years, and with a new lineup,AOR & Classic Rock band Da Vinci returns with brand new songs. The group was formed in Norway back in 1986, and after a short round with demos, the band got a record deal with Polygram Norway and released their debut album the following year.Looking back on the Norwegian melodic rock of the 80's, one of the
bands to leave a major impression were undoubtedly Oslo's Da Vinci. Enjoying as much radio play and charting nationally in the same league as Return, Stage Dolls and TNT, Da Vinci released two albums,
"Da Vinci"and "Back in the Business" and a single in 91 "Ain't No Goodbyes/ Blame it on the radio".
Their greatest hits were "Forever in My Heart" and "Tarquinia" from the first album; and "Call Me a Liar" and "9&10" from "Back in Business". DaVinci was touring constantly from late 86 to 92 and did over 600 performances in Norway. They also played as support for Status Quo on their Christmas Remedy tour in 1989 in Great Britain together with Ole Evenrude. The last concerts were two gigs at Wembley Arena.
They split up in 93, but Selboskar, Westlie and Aass continued to write songs together for a few years. Some of these demo songs were illegally released in Europe.Jarle Måløy moved to the north of Norway. Bjørn Boge started Street Legal together with Bjørn Olav Lauvdal and Selboskar was in the band on keys several years. Gunnar Westlie formed his own band called Tjugods and Lars Aass started working as a songwriter at Waterfall Productions. In 2004 Selboskar and Westlie started to write AOR songs
together again and formed Eidsivating with the drummer from Son of Angels, Geir Digernes, and after
some years with a lot of songs and different members, this project ended up in today's Da Vinci."Ambition Rocks" was produced by Sverre E Henriksen and DaVinci; drums recorded in Oslo at Klang Studios with Johnny Skalleberg. The album was mixed by Sverre E Henriksen in hangar 7 and mastered by Nick Terry
Artwork & videos by Dag Selboskar.
