Kaizers Orchestra
Kaizers Orchestra was a Norwegian alternative rock group that formed on 1st of January 2000.
They are notable for being among the first non-black metal Norwegian bands or artists singing in their native language to become popular beyond Scandinavia. To other Norwegians, the band is instantly recognizable both because of their unique, unpredictable style, and because of vocalist Ottesen's distinctive Jæren dialect, shared by four of the other band members.
In 2012, the group announced that following a 2013 "Farewell Tour", they would take a long break. Their final concert was held on September 14th 2013 at DNB Arena in Stavanger, and was also streamed live online.
Biography
Early years (1995-2004)
In 1998, childhood friends Janove Ottesen and Geir Zahl released their only album by their band gnom called Mys. Of its 1000 copies, only 500 or so were sold the first year, and they were pretty much ignored. However, they were known well in the area around Stavanger in Norway, having played as the local band Blod, snått & juling, and one of the songs they wrote after Mys called "Bastard" got good crowd response. A line from "Bastard" ("A certain Mr. Kaizer took me in/He is the proud owner of the world's heaviest siamese cat") and the song's overall crowd response became a source of inspiration for Ottesen, and after gnom dissolved after disappointing record sales, he formed Kaizers Orchestra.

Violeta Violeta, Vol. 1
by: Kaizers OrchestraNår du har brutt alle regler som bryta går
Og du har slikt av dine sår
Når det er hverken din anger eller pasjon som rår
Kem sitter du igjen med då?
La det vara
Når det er slutt på ein sesong (La det vara)
Når det er tomt i min kartong (La det vara)
Philemon Arthur & The Dung (La det vara)
Du og meg i en sang
Prøv å grav ner (prøv å grav ner) dine hemmeligheter
Alt du vil at ingen andre skal veta
Og det går år før det du sår kan voksa
Prøv å hold ut for meg då
Du vett, alt du kan drømma, alt det kan henda
Akkurat som alt som er vakkert kan brenna
Og mens ingenting hender, kan du ingenting gjera
Du må bare la det
La det vara
Når det er slutt på ein sesong (La det vara)
Når det er tomt i min kartong (La det vara)
Philemon Arthur & The Dung (La det vara)
Du og meg i en sang (La det vara)
Når det er slutt på ein sesong (La det vara)
Når det er tomt i min kartong (La det vara)
Philemon Arthur & The Dung (La det vara)
Du og meg i en sang
Ding dong
Kem er det som banker på nå
Er det du?
Kom inn og få deg litt kaffe
La det vara
La det vara
La det vara
La det vara
Når det er slutt på ein sesong (La det vara)
Når det er tomt i min kartong (La det vara)
Philemon Arthur & The Dung (La det vara)
Du og meg i en sang (La det vara)
Når det er slutt på ein sesong (La det vara)
Når det er tomt i min kartong (La det vara)
Philemon Arthur & The Dung (La det vara)
Du og meg i en sang
