The Tiger City Jukes were founded in 1995 by singer/guitarist Knut Eide and guitarist Harald Stokke. They wanted to make a blues band that could go beyond just playing the good old standards and create a sound of their own. After playing with different rhythm sections the first year, they settled with bassist André Vrolijk and drummer Haakon Hansen. André Vrolijk was also a great singer and songwriter, and now they were three guys in the band to write songs.
Their first fulltime album, “White Line Fever”, was released in 1997 after extensive touring in the Scandinavian countries. Eleven out of fifteen songs were originals, written by Eide, Stokke and Vrolijk. The album got good reviews by the Norwegian press, and gave the band a boost to keep on beating the highway. In 1998 the band got in contact with harp wizard Rock Bottom from St. Pete, Florida. Bassist Vrolijk and drummer Hansen had been in Rocks backing band on three of his Norwegian tours, and Rock wanted to return the favour, to set the TCJ up with a tour in Florida.
The tour came through in Jan/Feb ’99, and it was a great vitamin injection for a bunch of Norwegian blues-guys to get a trip to the US. They made eleven gigs from Tampa to Key West during a two weeks tour, and made a great success with the blues fans in the OJ State. Their second album, “Ride in Style” came in 1999, and this time, all the songs were originals except the new arrangement on the old standard “You Keep On Knockin’”. The band had now proven themselves as one of the leading blues bands in Scandinavia, and they appeared at all the major blues festivals in the area, besides their regular touring at the club circuit.
In 2000 the TCJ did a couple of tours in Norway with Rock Bottom as a guest star, and the next year Rock arranged a revisit to Florida for the Jukes. Their third album, “Sex, Money and Violence” was released in 2001. All original songs, and also a couple of steps off the beaten blues track. For a long time, fans of the TCJ had requested a live album, to capture the energy from their performances. The band has above all, built up their reputation on being a high energy live band. And in December 2002 it finally came through, “Live – Dressed to Kill” was their fourth album, and shows in a great way how an evening with the Tiger City Jukes can be.
