LoMsk LoMsk is a Norwegian folk rock band from Lom in Gudbrandsdalen established in 1982. Their sound is inspired by the folk traditions of the area which they mix with rock influences. Lars Bakke writes most of the materials for the band and his lyrics are influenced by Nynorsk Norwegian dialect and his tunes by traditional Norwegian traditional melodies, often taking inspiration from local legends and stories. Their concept album "Bukkerittet" is based on Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" and their album "Amerikabrevet" on the theme of Norwegian emigration. The band was nominated for a 2007 Spellemannprisen award equivalent to the Grammies. In 2012, the band reunited for their 30th anniversary concert.
