Novafunk (formerly known as Nova) has been playing live funk since 1998. The band started to jam on an abandoned farm in Lunde in Telemark and the members had a common desire to grow the music style funk. No obvious choice right in the heartland of country music, folk music and shows in new-norwegian and dialect. But the guys wanted to play urban funk, soul and rock, giving the iron.

The band was playing songs of Jamiroquai, Freak Power and Zapp Zapp and eventually came to own songs, primarily written by the band's vocalist and guitarist Øystein Aarnes. The band started playing at clubs around past the eastern and eventually also in Oslo. At the same time, it became clear that the band's home stage was Cafe K in Porsgrunn. A place that the band has come back to again and again.

In 2001, Novafunk releases the first single "Inside of You", recorded in Audiopol studios with Espen Gundersen Gjelstad at the controls. Espen had at that time taken over as keyboardist. The single can be listened to / purchased under Audio. There were concerts at Smuget and Lille in Oslo and in the neighboring county of Vestfold. In 2011 came the second single: "Good Vibrations".

Novafunk is now planning to do their third single in fall 2011.
