Elektrisk Regn is a new wave punk band from Bergen, Norway, founded in 1978. They appeared in times when the new wave started growing in Norway with such bands as De Press, The Aller Værste and Kjøtt , and El-Regn was one of the first bands to introduce the underground genre in Norway. The singer is the well known Dennis Reksten, who is working at Bergens most famous rock pub, "Garage". Elektrisk Regn got norwegian lyrics and sings in Bergen dialect. Their debut album "Steinbyen" released in 1982 and shows that Reksten manages to write both funny and serious lyrics concerning serious themes (some times heavy political themes). Their most famous song is "Naboen er nynazist" ("My neighbour is a neo-nazi"). Their second album "Kropp uten sjel" arrived three years later, but then they had to wait till 2002 before the next album was released. "Stein igjen" shows that the band still knows how to make great new-wave rock, but they never managed to reach the charts. They arrange gigs on an unregular basis in Bergen from time to time.
