Biography
Wagner was born in Sønderborg, and formed the group Western Front in Sønderborg in August 1989; by 1992, the band had relocated to Copenhagen and evolved into Psyched Up Janis,[4] with whom he recorded five albums.[5] The band eventually moved to Brighton, and then to the United States, then split up in 1999 after playing a farewell concert at the Roskilde Festival. He had formed The Tremolo Beer Gut in 1998, and then formed his most successful band, The Raveonettes, with Sharin Foo after settling in Los Angeles.[6] From 1999 to 2000, he also worked as an assistant for photographer Søren Solkær Starbird.[7]
Wagner released his first (self-titled) solo album in 2008 (also his first album sung in Danish), followed by live performances in 2009.[8][9] In 2010, he released a single with fellow Sønderborg musician Michael Falch, a reworking of Falch's song "Nu Rider Vi Stormen Af".[10]
