Early days: Stian (bass) and Tumblin Thomas (vocals/guitar) started up Lonely Kamel summer 2005. Both being in love with different kind of music, wanted to start a band that could combine lots of genres that they loved. The late 60's and early seventies are of course their biggest influence with the heavy blues and psychedelia at that time. At the same time they were both listening alot to the stonerrock scene with bands from Kyuss and Orange Goblin, to Brant Bjork and so on. They gathered some guys in a basement and just started playing everything from Pentagram covers to 30 minute long jamsessions spinning around 1 chord. After some jamsessions Thomas came along with 4 finished songs with lyrics and all (Damn You're Hot, Blindfolded, The Trip and Lonely Kamel, that later became the name of the band). After that Thomas has been writing alot of songs, and he and Stian has developed them together playing all instruments at first. Later we formed a band that started up as Ben Johnson after the Canadian sprinter, but later became LONELY KAMEL.
