Kaizers Orchestra is a hard-hitting, alternative rock band, with heavy eastern European influences in their sound. 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 civilisation, blended it with the pounding of norwegian oilbarrels, and just came out from the cellar sounding like nothing else on the planet. Their lyrics are in Norwegian because Mr. Kaizer demanded it, but don´t feel bad if you don´t understand a thing, just know that they deal with 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 present a huge variety of songs, ever changing moods, disharmonic noises and just plain beautiful tunes. It´s all in there!
KO are currently working on their fourth album "Maskineri" due for release on 18th of February 2008. This is your chance to become part of their street team!
