About
Kaizers Orchestra is a Norwegian alternative rock sextet formed in Bryne/Bergen on 1 January 2000, fronted by singer and principal songwriter Janove Ottesen. Their sound fuses rock with Eastern European folk, cabaret and unconventional percussion - oil barrels and brake drums among them - a style the band calls 'Shitty Polka'. Eight studio albums, including the five-year Violeta Violeta trilogy, made them one of Norway's biggest bands ever; they are also among the first Norwegian acts outside black metal to build a following abroad while singing exclusively in Norwegian. After a decade-long hiatus (2013-2023) they staged a comeback that sold 82,000 reunion-tour tickets in under 15 minutes.
