The Tables was an underground/DIY pop group formed in Oslo, Norway in 1988. The group’s core lineup consisted of Bartleby (vocals, real name Tore Sørensen), Robert Birdeye (bass guitar and drums, real name Steinar Buholm), and Reg Trademark (guitar, real name Ståle Caspersen). In 1990, they released their first vinyl album, Shady Whims & Obstacles, on Schtooopid Records, with additional members Kjersti Gravklev on Farfisa organ and Benedikte Sterner on drums. The band broke up shortly after but later reformed in 1996 or 1997 to record Holiday At Wobbledef Grunch, released on Perfect Pop Records. They returned again around 2000 and released their final album Nevermynd The Hillocks (Treble Without A Cause) in 2003.
