Madrugada is a Norwegian alternative rock band formed in Stokmarknes in 1993, with a core lineup of Sivert Høyem (vocals), Robert Burås (guitar) and Frode Jacobsen (bass). Following Burås’ death on 12 July 2007, Høyem and Jacobsen decided to finish recording what was to be their final album in the original lineup. On 21 January 2008, the band released Madrugada and announced that they would split after one last tour. They performed their final concert on 15 November 2008. In June 2018, it was announced that Høyem, Jacobsen and Lauvland Pettersen had reformed the band for a series of shows in 2019. Madrugada’s musical style is noted for “its bareboned blues‑inspired alt‑rock”. The band’s name means “dawn” in Spanish and Portuguese. The group of musicians that would go on to become Madrugada formed in the town of Stokmarknes in 1993 under the name Abbey’s Adoption. The band members at this time included Jon Lauvland Pettersen (drums), Frode Jacobsen (bass), Sivert Høyem (vocals) and Marius ‘Wah Wah’ Johansen (guitar). In 1995, they were joined by guitarist Robert Burås and made the decision to move to Oslo, after which Johansen departed. By 1998, the band had been signed to a six‑album deal by Virgin Music Norway, and after a chance meeting with Norwegian author and poet Øystein Wingaard Wolf in a bar, changed their name to Madrugada. Their debut album, Industrial Silence, was released on 30 August 1999 to critical acclaim and was followed by The Nightly Disease in 2001. After personal relations became fraught, Pettersen left the band in early 2002 and was replaced by Simen Vangen. Soon afterwards, work began on a third album, Grit.
