Kaizers Orchestra is a hard-hitting, alternative rockband, with heavy eastern European influences in their rock sound. The band was founded in 2000, right after the members had partied like it was 1999, at a time when people thought the world was going under and stacked canned food in their basement in fear of computerbreakdowns and killer bees from Australia. Kaizers Orchestra absorbed the anxiety and the populations massive fear of the breakdown of civilisations, blended it with the pounding of norwegian oilbarrels, and just came out from the cellar sounding like nothing else on the planet. Lyrics are in Norwegian, and that is because Mr. Kaizer demanded it, so don..t feel bad if you don..t understand a thing, just know that they treat un-Norwegian themes like war, mafia and religion, mixed with half joyous - half bitter love/drinking songs in addition to some uncomprehendible stuff. The three studioalbums the band has produced presents a huge variety of songs, ever changing moods, smooth grooves, disharmonic noises and just plain beautiful tunes. It..s all in there man.
A little Kaizer history lesson for you researchers out there:
KO were signed to the microscopic label Broilerfarm in 2001, through the energetic and intense live shows and the strong songwriting of the album, Ompa Til Du Dør, the band became a phenomenon both on the live circuit and in the record charts. "Ompa Til Du Dør" sold the incredible amount of 100 000 copies in Norway, and was awarded both the Norwegian Grammy and the Alarm award. The second album "Evig Pint" came out in 2003, and sold 50 000 copies in Norway, and 20 000 outside of Norway.
A very succesful show at the Danish Roskilde festival in 2002, started KO's international career. In the fall of 2003 they did a six week European tour. It became a huge success, silencing all the voices that had told them that a rockband singing in Norwegian would stand no chance outside their native country. screw that, norwegian is the new swedish, and everybody who have seen the chef on the Muppet Show know how catchy that language is!
In 2004, KO, as the first band singing in Norwegian, signed a record deal with Universal Music Germany. Their third album "Maestro" was released in nine countries August 2005. "Maestro" got rave reviews, and was backed by a new European tour. 32 shows in 38 days, through ten countries. The DVD Viva La Vega captures gig no. 30 at Vega on the Maestro tour. We recommend you check it out!
The fourth Kaizer album, "Maskineri", came out in february 2008. Like the other three studio albums it got great reviews and reached number on the norwegian sales charts. Like on "Maestro" the band is touring extensively, maintaining their reputation as one of the best live bands on the planet. Look out for them this summer!!
Hej kaizers, jeg drager til Norge til Folken i Oktober, og fejrer min 10. koncert med hvad jeg håber bliver den bedste kaizers koncert so far!! Så please, jeg håber virkelig i går helt amok, og eventuelt spiller Djevelens Orchestra eller Den Sjette Sansen når det nu er en fan tour... Men i hvert fald, ses på Folken, Tobakken og Vega!
I wasn't able to say anything earlier, but you guys put on an amazing show at Karlsruhe!! I brought one of my cousins (who I was visiting...I'm from the USA) and he loved you guys, which is awesome because he hadn't heard of you guys until I came to his house raving about my favorite band :-)
I hope I can see you in the future...maybe in Norway, next time?
Hej grabbar. En kompis från Holland sa åt mig att ni var bra. Har sett er både i Malmö i onsdags och även när ni spelade i min hemstad Helsingborg. Där hade jag också förmånen att träffa er :-) Måste säga att ni är riktigt bra live. Har sett många bra band live, men ni tillhör de 5 bästa so keep up the good work! Bilder finns.<br style="display:none" gauntlet_tokenizer_reserved=""/> Låt mig bara veta om ni är intresserade :-) hälsningar från Sverige// Magda i helsingborg
Thanks for some amazing festival shows! Even though there were more Die Ärzte concerts on "my" tour this time than Kaizers concerts, the Kaizers concerts were so much more fun. =:-)
Looking forward to October/November now - THANKS for finally coming to Stuttgart!
And in the meantime, I'll try to figure out the pattern for the Norway part of the tour... "Find the economically worst order"? "Connect the dots to get a sketch of the album cover"? Sponsored by NSB? There must be some reason... =;-)
