As both a live and CD band, Kaizers Orchestra have a distinct sound, but on these last CDs they have departed slightly from their original sound to a slightly more mainstream one. In 2011 they released two CDs, Violeta Violeta I and II, and this fall they will release the last one in this trilogy. At the same time, they have a playfulness that many other bands lack, much thanks to Janove’s stage presence. Having played together for so many years, and also done so many live gigs, they are extremely tight and precise in their playing. This summer Kaizers Orchestra will play around 20 festivals in Norway, Denmark and Switzerland, and will headline many of these festivals. They also have a following in Germany and Benelux.Īt concerts they give high value for your money, and they have a charismatic presence with singer Janove in front. Yesterday night they played the Working Class Hero festival in Drammen. Both on CD and also live they are definitely worth listening to. Harmonium, double bass and oil barrels are some of their instruments. Kaizers Orchestra are one of Norway’s best live bands, and they have played extensively since they started more than 10 years ago.
