Kaizers Orchestra - Biography
| 14-07-2006 18:57 | 1 reaction(s) | add reply |
The Norwegian sextet Kaizers Orchestra builds cathartic rock songs that borrow heavily from the dirges of Tin Pan Alley and Eastern European folk music. Formed in the late '90s in the city of Bergen, the band consists of Jan Ove Ottesen and Geir Zahl on vocals/guitar/oil barrel, Helge Risa on pump organ, Øyvind Storesund on accordion and bass, guitarist/percussionist Terge Vinterstøen, and Rune Solheim on the drums.
Their signature sound eventually led to a record deal with Scandinavian label Broiler Farm, and the band released Ompa Til du Dør in 2001, an album that won the Norwegian Grammy and went on to become the highest-selling rock debut ever issued in the Norwegian language.
Evig Pint followed in 2003, resulting in numerous awards and even more impressive record sales than its predecessor.

| Excuse me, but Bergen? Kaizers is from Bryne, outside STAVANGER. |
