Read his own version here .

Band history :
The band started in December 1992. We were the first band in our district to play Nirvana covers. We also went in studio and recorded our version of the old Mamas and Papas hit "California dreamin'". We got a supportjob for Norways hottest band Motorpsycho at Folken in Stavanger. The day after, the newspaper wrote following statement from Hans Egil Løe " Sjøl om me æ i frå Jæren, så spele me ikkje AC/DC og sånn".(Even if we are from Jæren, we don't play AC\DC covers!)There is low activity in IBI UBU at this moment. Geir study in Bergen and Hans is in the army. A demo will be avaible within a few month. In March a comeback concert will be held somewhere in Stavanger.
See you there!!!

It was a beautiful morning in September. The sun was shining and the leaves on the tree has just started to yellowing. I was picking mushrooms while I sang a few tunes. Suddenly He (IBI UBU) showed up. He was tall, a couple of heads bigger than me, and very big. He laid his arms in cross and spoke to me with a strong voice in a foreign language wich I at that moment didn't understood. Then as fast as he showed up, he disapeared again. I was left alone with my mushrooms and felt a strange smell sneaking up my nose. My jeans was wet. Later on, I knew what he wanted. I suddenly understood what he wanted. He wanted me to form a band witch I later did. Our texts is formed in my dreams where IBI UBU speaks to me. That's the whole story. The true story.
IBI UBU was created behind my vision.
