The Textfukkers is an art theoretical band. All lyrics are based on real theoretical texts, most of them used in the Norwegian Art education. These texts get simplified and transformed into traditional pop/rock-lyrics. They use commercial models from the music scene like rhymes, rhythm, flow and other clichés. On stage they use the formula of the music scene with the entertainment and costumes, and mix it with the traditional lecture using overheads, projectors and equipment from the classroom. The band members are Marte Hodne Haugen, Marthe Walthinsen and Espen Lomsdalen.
