Avalanches

Frontier Psychiatrist

Since I Left You

Avalanche was a Norwegian disco and dance group founded in 1987. The group was composed of Kjetil Røsnes (from Lørenskog) and Kirsti Johansen (from Mo i Rana, Kristiansand). From the late 80's and during the 90's the couple lived and worked in Germany and France. They currently live in Aurskog-Høland, Norway with their two children.

Kjetil Røsnes is owner of Planet Orange Production (a music production company based in Aurskog).

In 1989 the band had his biggest hit with the song "Johnny, Johnny Come Home" (it was written one year earlier during a night in Hamburg) in France, where it was the number-one single for eight weeks (sold around 700.000). It was successful also in Germany and Norway.

They later also launched a side-project called K+K.

In 2007 the Blue Moon Band participated in MGP (Melodi Grand Prix) with "Goodbye to yesterday", written by Kjetil + Kirsti

A year later Avalanche themselves were in MGP with the song "Two Monkeys (On The Roof)". The song was already written in 1997 when the couple lived near Cannes, France. But they couldn't be at the MGP 2008 together, because of Kirsti was ill. She was replaced by Camilla Alvestad (formerly member of band Reset).

Both compositions didn't reached the MGP-finals in these two years.
