Sambandet is a Norwegian rock ensemble that serves as the support band for Åge Aleksandersen. Frequently referred to collectively as Åge Aleksandersen & Sambandet, they received the 1980 Spellemannprisen award for best rock album with Ramp. The group's roster has changed throughout its history, featuring musicians like Steinar Krokstad, Skjalg Raaen, Terje Tranaas, and Gunnar Pedersen. Their initial release, Lirekassa, came out in 1977. Among their most recognized songs is the 1984 track "Lys og varme". Emerging from the earlier band Prudence, Sambandet dissolved following the Eldorado tour in 1987 but later reformed in 2004.
