Vagabond (Norwegian band)
Norwegian band
Vagabond was a Norwegian metal rock band, formed in 1993. The band was formed by TNT guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø and bassist Morty Black following TNT's decision to go on a hiatus. In addition to Le Tekrø and Black, Vagabond's main lineup consisted of singer Jørn Lande, TNT live keyboardist Dag Stokke and drummer Steinar Krokstad. The band released two albums, Vagabond (1994) and A Huge Fan of Life (1995), before splitting up in 1996 due to TNT reuniting.
History
Vagabond was formed by ex-TNT members Ronni Le Tekrø and Morty Black in 1993, after the break up of TNT. They were joined by ex-Stage Dolls member Steinar Krokstad, TNT's live keyboardist Dag Stokke and Sons of Angels vocalist Hans-Olav Solli, before Jørn Lande replaced the latter.
The band's first album, Vagabond, sold 10,000 copies in Norway, but they were dropped by the EMI label. They were then signed by the Japanese Victor label. Their second album, A Huge Fan of Life was released in Europe on the band's own record label.
Vagabond ended when TNT reformed in 1996, and subsequently the band members went their separate ways.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Vagabond (Norwegian band)” as norwegian band. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as norwegian band. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7463676. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
