Dim Gray: Norwegian art rock/pop act announce addition of new full time members ahead of late summer European tour with Big Big Train

Oslo-based art rock/pop act Dim Gray have today announced that two musicians who regularly perform with them at live shows - Milad Amouzegar (guitars and keyboards) and Kristian Kvaksrud (bass) - have joined the band on a permanent basis. The news comes just ahead of the start of a European tour on which they will be the special guests of progressive rock titans Big Big Train.

Drummer Tom Ian Klungland explains that the core group trio of himself, guitarist Håkon Høiberg and singer/keyboardist Oskar Holldorff "have previously been wary of letting anyone else join. We’ve had session musicians for studio recordings and live shows, but it never felt exactly right until now. When we started preparing for live shows, we realised that we needed to add musicians to do our songs justice in a live setting. Milad and Kristian both came in at the same time and their work ethic, musicianship and great personalities have given the band new impetus. It felt only natural to invite them to become a permanent part of Dim Gray."

As well as performing fourteen dates with Big Big Train, Dim Gray will make a brief mid-tour diversion into northern Italy to play at the 2Days Prog 1 festival in Revislate on 2nd September. The tour will conclude with three UK shows.

Dim Gray lead vocalist and keyboardist Oskar Holldorff also became a permanent member of Big Big Train in early 2023.
