The band members expect a break for "many years", and they don't know if and - if yes - how they will continue after that break. Currently there are no plans about if and when they will be back. On September 14, 2013, they played their last concert. The Lord can make you feel good in any color! He made him look good in white, He made him look good in blue, He made him look good in red. On the last guitar: One can tell two things about this man: Terje "Pearl" "Killmaster", also known as "The Photographer", also known as "Mr. He used to tour Eastern Europe with Johnny & the Sexual Problems: On the first guitar, always playing on a Firebird Original! On the stand-up bass, aus Wunderkammer, Cloroform and the Big G Upstairs: Og på trommer, ting og tang, bøtter og spann, en felg, en lyktestolpe, en tamburin og på et stort, blankt askebeger: On the pump organ, all the way from Transylvania. So the band started in 2000 already - quite a while ago! Later Terje re-joined the band (who had in the meantime played in the bands Zombie Porkchop and Watershed), and Kaizers were complete. With Jon as new bass player (replaced by Øyvind meanwhile) they called themselves "Kaizers Orchestra" and released the first EP "Bøn fra helvete" in 2000. By way of the song "Bastard" which contains a barrel solo and a pump-organ, the musicians found their current style.At the end of 2003, this CD was re-released in Norway. In 1998, the CD "Mys" was released, but it sold miserably. The people involved were Janove and Geir again, and additionally Helge and Rune. After a while the name Blod, Snått & Juling wasn't serious enough anymore, so the band "gnom" was founded.In the recordings for the last two tapes, Terje took part already. There exist three demo-recordings of this band, namely "En glad tunnel" (1994, total number released: 50 tapes *g*), "Sympatiske fisk" (1995, 100 tapes, after all) and another one from 1996. The first joint band of Janove and Geir was Blod, Snått & Juling (translated: Blood, snot and punches).= -) A nice summary in German and English was composed by So here is only a brief glimpse: And their own universe! By now, there is even a Kaizers musical, and probably it won't take long until they start making a movie.Ī nice overview about the origins of Kaizers Orchestra can be found here on the official Webpage - in Norwegian, of course. But Kaizers Orchestra make something new and particular out of these elements and thus create their own fascination.

The first lyrics are strongly influenced by the movie "Underground" by Emir Kusturica. But that is indespensible anyway!)Ī lot of influences for Kaizers Orchestra's music come from Tom Waits. (But to understand that, it is indespensible seeing Kaizers Orchestra live. But even without further study of the lyrics one realizes soon that only Padre Martin knows what is behind a "hallelujah". After some time one learns to know the characters, one finds out why Sven Korner is a villain and why Marcello cannot get his Viktoria. You can find the whole story about the Violeta trilogy here. They tell stories, the first albums are mostly about war, revenge, resistance and death, the songs are in part linked to each other. But it's worth the effort getting the translations, as - like the music - the lyrics are no run-of-the-mill love-songs, but. = -) Non-Norwegians don't understand anything at first, of course. In fact in a norwegian dialect that is at the beginning even hard to understand for other Norwegians. But also on CD the music is just spellbinding. The musicians give everything on stage, the show is perfect, and the fun and energy spreads to everyone in the audience. And that's exactly the special thing about Kaizers: the energy. Additionally, the six musicians pound furiously at oil barrels and steel rims, which of course intensifies the rhythm and releases a lot of energy. = -)įrom the traditional part of the instrumentation it is obvious that their music is indeed rock-music. Kaizers Orchestra themselves call their music "Kaizerrock", I guess they haven't found a proper category either. But no - the Kaizers music doesn't really have anything to do with that. "Officially" one could characterize the music als "norwegian polka", because there's "ompa" in it, a nordic style of music that would probably be called "polka" here in Germany. There's no common genre in which Kaizers Orchestra's music fits. Sounds very strange at first glance, but it all fits together perfectly! The music Six Norwegians, some guitars, a drum set, a double bass, a pump organ and several oil barrels, steel rims, trash cans and sirens.
