White Lord Jesus was originally formed in
Oslo by Tristan Christ (Arvid Skancke-Knutsen) and Tognazzi (Thomas Robsahm) in the autumn of 1983. They had just left their bands Dynamo Forte (from Risør) and Brød & Sirkus (from Arendal).

White Lord Jesus became a part of the ”cassette movement” which started in Norway at the beginning of the eighties.

In 1984 White Lord Jesus made their live-debut and released the cassette Amen, which was very well received, and now seen as one of the best cassettes from the era. In 1985 the band split.

After years of talk about releasing the cassette on CD, Tristan and Tognazzi finally got their act together and started work on this in 2004. The songs were not only transfered digitally and remixed, most songs did go through extensive re-recording and additional production. Four demos from 1985 were also worked on and two new songs were recorded, including the radio-single and video Back In Mary's Room and Winter Song.

WLJ made a secret reunion gig at Kampen Bistro, Oslo in May 2005, but the real comeback was at Mono in Oslo on November 14th 2005. The last couple of years the band has done some selected gigs.

In 2006/07 they recorded a brand new album which will be released in 2008. (read less)
