Ravage was formed by Jørgen D.N and Finn in 1983 and was active untill 1986 

Ravage played loads of concerts in Odense in the mid 1908's. Finn played on his Gibson guitar in most of these concerts. But at three of the gigs he played the bass.

This particuloar concert was recording by a central Danish radio station (DR).

The band sounding really ernergic almost as it was at football match and to the bands surprised news paper described the music as heavy rock with a powerful expression.

The music style of Ravage
In reality the band played in a combination of folk and psycedelic music with a light tough of heavy. Inspiration was Deep Purple, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan.

In the mid 1980's the band played in a series of gigs at Casablinca, Rytmeposten and Hansen værtshus and other places in Odense. Also a lot live gigs in Kolding and Frederica mainly in cafees, bars and in high school (Fredericia Gymnasium).

Tape from DR missing
Danmarks Radio (
DR) actually recorded a couple of shows in 1985. Once a live tape from one these gigs existed but it has unfortuately been lost. Finnguitar has if anybody have these historic tapes as Finn would to listen to the good old Ravage one more time.

The band stopped playing in 1986 when Finn moved to Århus.
