Biography

Stage Dolls is a Norwegian Traditional metal band based in Trondheim, Norway. In 1982, Erlend Antonsen and Terje Storli played at local clubs in and around Trondheim. In need of a guitarist they called on Torstein Flakne, who by then had finished playing in The Kids (a popular teeny-band in Norway 1980-82). Throughout the summer and fall of 1982 the newly formed band started rehearsing and playing shows in the region. The trio took the name Stage Dolls in January 1983. The first album, titled Soldiers gun, was released in the early winter of 1985 after a successful nationwide tour in Norway supporting the Norwegian band TNT.
