Valentourettes speller Jokke

The Backstreet Girls played the crowd to ecstatic heights, and Petter Baarli was in great shape. Now he's coming back to do it again. This time together with the gang in Valentourettes. Now it is Jokke's rock classics that will ignite an expectant audience.
The Valentourettes were put together in 2003 with the aim of performing Joachim Nilesen's songs at a single concert, but the reception at this one concert was so great that the guys got blood on their teeth and continued together.

The members have backgrounds from both Jokke & Valentinerne and Jokke Med Tourettes and as the band name indicates, this is a merger of these two.
With Petter Pogo on bass, Runar "Kula" Johannessen on drums and Petter Baarli himself on guitar, they formed a powerhouse with a long running time and solid experience with the material. Tarjei Foshaug has been a vocalist since 2006 and delivers Joachim's songs with real emotion and has distinguished himself as a driving frontman.

In 2022, the Valentourettes passed 600 concerts. The band has played to full houses from Longyearbyen to Flekkefjord to stormy cheers and great joy, both for those who had the chance to experience Jokke when he was among us and the growing family who have had to make do with the records.
When the Torshovteatret was to stage the musical "Verdiløse Menn" by Christopher Nielsen based on brother Joachim's texts, it was natural to hire the Valentourettes (minus Tarjei) as the theater orchestra. The play was immediately a great success and, after a period at the small Torshovteatret, was staged on the very main stage at the Nationaltheateret, where it has so far continued until the last performance in the autumn of 2018. Now, as we write 2025, the additional performance of "Verdiløse" is still staged Men".
Then to the band's most important member, the audience.

Few other bands can show such an active and participating audience. They sing along and shout, dance and toast, laugh and laugh and live so completely into the text and music that they sometimes merge into a large pulsating monster that takes over the entire hall and half the stage to the band's great joy.
This quartet continues to convince both seasoned concertgoers and new generations of fans of Joachim Nielsen and his music that rock is best in concert.
Full houses and stormy cheers follow wherever they play across the country and the fact that the beer tap is running hot doesn't seem to bother concert organizers significantly either. This will be a complete chef monk of a rock atmosphere at Notodden!
