Bio
In 1999 three well seasoned musicians (Kjell Bendixen, Haavard Eidsaunet, and Roger Vadseth) were lured to the blues through the recordings of Muddy Waters, Lee Oscar, Robert Johnson, Dave Hole, Johnny V, The Blues Brothers etc. Their individual experience performing in bands that played blues, jazz, rock`n roll, and heavy rock was the catalyst that inspired them to form Dr. BenDix,. In the spring of 2002 Dr BenDix recorded a CD titled "Life Is A Rocky Road" to help promote their songwriting, and musical interpretations.
In the autumn of 2003 a new cd “White Lies” is released, and now they really getting it “hot”. Catch them live and when you do, don't forget your dancing shoes, 'cause the BenDix really swings the blues.
They are amazing about the respond they have got on their first cd. All recordings are recorded live in studio and give the listener an idea how they sound live on stage.
Here is some responds from the world outside:
Johnny V Canada wrote: I just received the CD today (Thursday).. Sounds Cool bro, love your tone and ideas. Johnny V would like to come to Norway and he want to use Dr BenDix as his backing-band
Mike Jakins (Perth Blues Club. Australia) wrote: Your CD is really very good....I have been playing it over and over again......good rocking Blues....your band would be very popular here in Perth....
From 2006 Smokie Bluesfestival Arbroath Scotland: Dave Blair (bassplayer in Papa Mojo): Not long got home from the Arbroath Smokie Festival and then my local for a coupla beers. I'd just like to say that the whole day for me was highlighted by BBF's Dr Bendix. They just took the Burns Bar by storm, typical Viking fashion, no prisoners taken, no quarter given. Man oh man, it is a long time since I have seen a band that stirs a crowd like these guys did, Kjell, Dr Bendix himself, is the best guitarist I have seen in a long time and by quite a long way too. The guy is just phenomenal to watch and listen to. This band should become a permanent fixture on the UK blues scene, IMHO they would completely blow away many of the UK's top dogs by a considerable margin. Thank you guys for a great gig, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute I saw of your set. Please come back next year?
