Boyzvoice

Boyzvoice is a fictional Norwegian boy band, internationally best known from the movie Get Ready to be Boyzvoiced (2000). They consist of three band members: brothers M'Pete, Hot Tub, and Roar Lund-Bergseter. Boyzvoice was originally formed by Norwegian comedians/actors Espen Eckbo and Henrik Elvestad with the purpose to make fun of boy bands and the commercial music industry. Boyzvoice first appeared on a late-night Norwegian talk-show in 1999 and the same year they climbed the charts in Norway with their Christmas single "Let Me Be Your Father X-mas". In Get Ready to be Boyzvoiced, a mockumentary about their lives, first released in 2000, they have to overcome a scandal involving lip-synching over recordings made by session musicians, which results in their being dropped by their record company. The scandal is further fed by their manager Timothy Dahle (Henrik Elvestad) physically assaulting two elderly members of the Salvation Army at a charity concert, and the unfortunate discovery that lead-singer M’Pete’s 16-year-old girlfriend (Ida Thorkildsen Valvik) has lied about her age and is in fact only 12. Boyzvoice have these days disbanded and the three actors who appeared as band members - Espen Eckbo (M'Pete), Øyvind Thoen (Hot Tub) and Kaare Daniel Steen (Roar) - are now pursuing other projects.
