ÅGE STEN “GLAM” NILSEN (WIG WAM, AMMUNITION): “In 2013 I Just Told The Guys This Is Our Last Gig, Goodbye”

Norwegian Glam is Back, For Now

Norway’s Wig Wam broke up in 2014 after 13 years and 5 studio albums together. Members of the band moved on to other projects. Time proves you can’t keep a good band down. On January 22, 2021, Wig Wam returns with their 6th album Never Say Die through Frontiers Music. I had the chance to speak with front man Åge Sten “Glam” Nilsen about the band’s past and future ahead of the album’s release.

Highlights include:

• Reasons for Wig Wam break-up & reunion
• Discussion of new album Never Say Die
• Which Wig Wam album he’s not happy with
• The future of Ammunition
• How a project with Dan Reed lead to Nilsen’s first solo album
• His past and current work with John Norum (Europe)
• Working on music with the bassist of TNT’s daughter
• … and much, much more!

Wig Wam is:

Åge Sten “Glam” Nilsen – Vocals
