Gåte was founded by the Sundli siblings in 1999. Their very own combination of traditional folk music and explosive and progressive rock took them from the rehearsal room basement to the big stages in a very short period of time. Between 2001 - 2006 their spectacular live shows, two studio albums, two EP´s and a live album brought them massive success. They sold more than 100 000 albums, went straight to #1 on the national Top 40 album chart in Norway, and they won the Norwegian Grammy for Best New Artist in 2002.
In 2017 the critically acclaimed band returns after a 12 year long break. The band now consists of Gunnhild Sundli, Magnus Børmark, Jon Even Schärer, Mats Paulsen and John Stenersen. Their profound passion for traditional Norwegian folk music has always been the base of Gåte's sound and vision, and they will continue to build and create music around old traditional material.
Of all the Eurovision songs this year, yours is the one that gets stuck in my head the most. Started listening to your back catalogue too. You have a new UK fan 💜
The thing that is wrong with eurovision (yeah. I wrote it with a little capital letter since euro "vision" suck now), is that contestants don't sing about equality, stop the war etc, you don't get points. Don't get me wrong. I want these wars to end and ofc.. equality is good BUT WE ALREADY HAVE EQUALITY FOR THE COUPLE OF LAST YEARS, WHY RESSURRECT THE THEME AGAIN. WE GOT EQUALITY. It's a music contest and you did deserve more points and to have a chance to win it all, and so do everyone that sung and played great music at the contest. I hope you will continue to make great songs and music, Gåte. Dere fortjener all suksess! Fortsett å syng og spill musikken deres med hele hjertet deres. Denne sangen føltes genuint norsk, og føltes så norsk ut at musikken kan gå helt tilbake til vikingtiden og norsk folklore.
First, Azerbaidjan's "Ozunla apar" didn't qualify, then "Ulveham" got last place. These are songs I'll be coming back to even in 10 years' time, while I won't even remember who the fuck won the contest.
Os resultados do ESC não passam de uma avaliação subjetiva. O que conta é o que cada pessoa tira do evento. Eu tirei Gåte. Sou portuguesa e até gostei da nossa música. Mas Gåte tem uma energia incrível, apesar de não perceber uma única palavra. Estou viciada ❤. 🇵🇹
