My Midnight Creeps was a Norwegian rock ensemble originating in 2003 from Oslo, Norway. The group was spearheaded by Robert Burås, guitarist of Madrugada, alongside Alex Kloster-Jensen, guitarist from Ricochets.
Biography
The lineup also featured Dag Stiberg on tenor saxophone, Behzad Farazollahi handling drums, Anders Møller on percussion, and Raymond Jensen playing bass. Their debut record, My Midnight Creeps, included contributions from keyboardist Mikael Lindqvist. The band's musical style drew inspiration from acts such as The Stooges, The Rolling Stones, and The Animals. Their sophomore album, Histamin, was met with widespread praise, achieving a flawless rating in the Norwegian publication Verdens Gang.
Following the passing of Burås on 12 July 2007, the group ceased activities. In 2011, the surviving members regrouped—this time without bassist Jensen, who was succeeded by former Madrugada bassist Frode Jacobsen—to form Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O. This new band launched their self-titled debut in June 2011, followed by the album Are You Land Or Water? in January 2016. Taking its name from a My Midnight Creeps song featured on Histamin, the project marks a stylistic shift, highlighting intricate rhythms and female backing vocals, with their second album adopting a more somber and atmospheric tone.
