Has anyone else heard of this band? They're from Norway, a friend put me on to them. They play kind of moody, intense sounding rock influenced a little by Tom Waits, and by eastern european folk. They've got a pretty distinctive sound that I like, lots of heavy percussion, double bass, saxophone, accordion, and apparently a pump organ. I'm crap at description, but I recommend.

Ompa til du dor
Resistansen
Di Grind
Bon fra helvete
KGB
Evig Pint

...are all good tracks. Enjoy.

Willem:
People I know in Denmark love them. Not really my sort of thing though..the singer songwriter project of their leadsinger (Janove Ottessen) is great though. Black and white movie is a great track.

stupendousbadass:
I'll have to check it out. Is it in norwegian?

Willem:
No, it's in English. cd's called Francis Lonely nights (if I recall correct). I'll see to which songs I have access currently later on tonight and make them accessible for you (though it could well be just b&w movie. i do have access to a lot of Kaizers material by chance. i'll make that accessible too)

Praeserpium Machinarum:
I adore Kaizer's Orchestra, the pride of Norway in my opinion, all of their albums are awesome. As far as I am concerned they have no weak tracks at all and even if they were more studio-oriented on Maestro than the other two, they pull it off beautifully. They are supposed to be a blast live too, going bonkers with oil barrels and gasmasks!
You shouldn't be put off by the norwegian vocals because the music is so good even without understanding the lyrics. Though I admit they are half the pleasure with their talk about gangsters and asylums and of course the devil.
The guitarist in Kaizers also has a punk band called Skambankt with yelled socialistic slogans in norwegian and stuff. Another Kaizers related band is Cloroform which have their bassist in it, it's supposed to be good I hear if a bit randy ;)
