Kaizers in short
Kaizers Orchestra is a six piece, hard-hitting, alternative rock band from Norway. The band draws inspiration from all kinds of musical genres, and their reputation as one of the most exciting and energetic live acts on the planet stands undisputed by those who have seen them unravel on stage. A hard working gang who has had the privilege of spilling blood, sweat and catchy songs on big and small crowds through more than 500 shows all over Europe the past eight years, all in norwegian too!
Vocals The band’s charismatic front man and pin-up potential. Could have had dice and scented objects hanging from his rear-view mirror, but chose to put a bronze flamingo in the garden instead. A man of great visions and strong beliefs, and the one in Kaizers who believes most strongly in Kaizers. Otherwise a warm-blooded fellow with a liking for the good life and expensive cigars.
Contrabass The only guy in the band with a curly head of hair – when he used to have hair, that is. A sturdy farmboy and lumberjack with fine references and a clean pedigree. Never opens a door without going through it, and is generally strong on metaphors. Known, like Rune, for his pleasant disposition and jovial being.
Guitar The band’s blonde and youth alibi. Sensitive guy, wary of turbulence and sub-standard service from waiters at restaurants. Formerly known for missing his mother during the solo of “Kontroll på kontinentet”, but has now turned in a more geopolitical direction and begun fearing the Russians during – why, of course – “Min kvite russer”(or “My White Russian”).
Pump organ An Old Testament-thumpin’ man of few words and simple values. In many ways a clean-cut product of the strict, centuries-old Puritanism, Pietism and Calvinism of Western Norway. Discovered through the Kaizers money-laundering church community, where he was employed as a ”digger”. Has a special preference f
Drums Highly concerned with self-development, and perhaps especially his administrative qualities. Always puts at least one of his feet in the correct shoe, and usually has both feet firmly placed on the ground. A tactician and a ladies’ man, and in many ways a fox, but when it comes down to it, he is still mostly a mink.
Guitar Remains a constant insult to the blues, and probably also large parts of the music business in general, with his anti-jovial guitar-playing his sarcastic view on the trade. Never thinks far ahead, speaks quietly, and is always insulted when asked to speak up. Patient, but rash; pleasant, but sharp; sensitive, but also cold.
