Kaizers Orchestra

The infectious and theatrical alternative rock of Norway's Kaizers Orchestra transcends language barriers. Although the band's lyrics are only sung in their native language, their quirky, conceptually ambitious and triumphant music has a broad resonance. The synthesis of Scandinavian and Eastern European folk, charged with energetic blues, indie, metal and rock is also very well received in this country. And so Sextett has long since achieved cult status. After a ten-year break, they are now embarking on a major reunion tour, much to the delight of their fans.

Kaizers Orchestra's quirky, conceptually ambitious and triumphant music is a synthesis of Scandinavian and Eastern European folk influences, charged with energetic blues, alternative, metal and hard rock. Although the lyrics are sung in Norwegian, Kaizers Orchestra invite comparisons with the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, where the music transcends any language barrier.
