Actually the goldenboy story started way before this point. pNils and Toke have been neighbours and best friends since they were about five years old (and probably still in their diapers). They have attended to the same schools and hung out way too much, kinda like overgrown monkeys…
Their interest in music started quite early. Toke started playing the classical guitar when he was eight and kept it up (the guitar playing that is) until he was eighteen. pNils' career as a waldhorn player in his school's big band was a lot shorter, but he also took some lessons banging the piano…
When the two good neighbours were about 17, they found out that they had to do something extraordinary to get the girls' attention. The solution was to form the pop-indie-grunge band Plush, together with Øystein Handegard and Torbjørn Williams (now a pilot). Plush lasted for a couple of years with a lot of gigs in their hometown Bergen and recorded two demos. Plush went to sleep in 1996.
Time went by, but still pNils and Toke found that they wanted to play ultra-melodic-catchy-pop-punk in their next band. At some point rumours whispered that they were looking into a new genre; the so-called "heavy-metal-boy-band-in-suits," yet for some reason this was turned down by their mothers, who represented a serious threat to both their careers and hairstyles
Toke met g-moNey when he studied at Bergen College to become a teacher. g-moNey was a good guy from Trondheim with a blurry past as a heavy-metaller. This was to be goldenboy's fancy guitarist. All that was missing now was a drummer. During fall '99, goldenboy started rehearsing with a quite good drummer called Espen. The goldenboy story was a bit slow in the start, so he soon decided that he wanted to quit to concentrate on another project. g-moNey and Toke both studied music at Bergen college, so they started hunting for goldenboy's new human drum-machine among their fellow students. They found the answer at choir-practice (!!!) in their very own school. BT took about 15 seconds to convince the rest of Goldenboy that he was the right man to juggle the sticks.
Time went by and Goldenboy did their debut-concert at a crowded "Stundesløse" (Bergen) in May-2000. During summer, they played another show at "Garage" and also started to record their first demo-EP "entertaining your girl". The release-party for the EP was a huge success, with crowded house and nice feedback both from a growing number of fans
