Ping was founded in Bergen, winter 1999 by Mattis Janitz and Jørgen Greiner. The music was at that time made on their Amiga 1200 and a 4-track recorder in a tiny bedroom. The band now operates in Oslo, has risen to the healthy amount of five members and spend merry days in their more up-to-date studio.

The process of arranging and recording is unorthodox, where humour and spontaneity is highly appreciated; creative use of various instruments and vocal arrangements flow through a number of genres. The credo is not to hesitate, immediateness leads to perfection, nothing is perfect.

Their debut album «It’s a picnic» was released in 2000.

2004 saw Ping test their talent with No Life Orchestra. The result was a split-Ep released on Luftwaffel Records, and a major roadtrip including metropoles Oslo and Trondheim.

Late 2005 German label QDK-Media/Normal Records released «The Castle Massacre», which is currently available throughout Europe, USA & Japan.

August 2009 Ping released their forth album “Discotheque of Darkness” on Luftwaffel Records. The album is available on CD, gatefold vinyl and as digital download.
