Kaizer's Orchestra
icancook:
Nice surprise to see a topic about a norwegian band. I saw Kaiser's Orchestra live last moth actually. And I saw Skambank live on "Quart '05". Both were great!
--- Quote ---But I think for most of us, norwegian sounds a bit silly and goofy, and perhaps that's why we don't take them too serious.. Or maybe it's just because we swedes live in a fantasy world where we're the only nordic country that has anything worth mentioning. We kinda see ourselves as Norways bigger brother or something.. Not only in music, but also in sports and movies and pretty much everything.

Haha, you make me laugh ;) You can't seriously mean that Sweden is like an older brother to Norway? And I don't mean to start a big argument, but seriously...seriously. In sports? You never win anything? :P Tho' I must agree on the movie part, however, lately we have had som very good movies. And when it comes to music, the only good thing that's ever come out of your country is Promoe and Looptroop.
Saw Looptroop live last moth also by the way, and I must say, they are the best nordic rappers.

Hmm... Guess I'm a bit of an original in this thread...
I saw Kaizers live in Tromsø in 2002 or 2003, and didn't like them at all. There's just something about them that makes me cringe a bit, I suppose. Could be the dialect, never were too fond of the Stavanger-dialect.
That being said, I understand why people like them.
On a side note: Sweden being the big brother? HAH! You're better in hockey, golf, tennis and ping-pong... Oh, and debt... :P

I thought the "fantasy world"-part would give you the hint that I myself don't agree with the big brother-thing. Patriotism has never been my cup of tea. I'm just saying what swedes in generall think.
I don't agree with you on the music-part, though. There's a lot of great swedish indie- and rock-bands, such as bob hund, shout out louds, the coral, thåström, backyard babies, brainpool, david and the citizens, soundtrack of our lives, popsicle, the perishers, the mo, moneybrother, the ark, hellacopters, imperiet and ebba grön, to name a few.. Maybe that's not the kind of music you like though.
(and when it comes to sports, I have to say that I don't care enough to know if we win anything. The only sport I like is bowling, but I don't like to watch it though)
Btw, those of you who like Kaizers should give Bob Hund a listen. They're not quite the same thing, but there are some similarities. And the singer has a wonderfull skåne-dialect that kind of sounds a bit like norwegian (to me anyway)
Baggins:
Bob Hund!
Been a while since I last played some of theirs, but it's a really great band.
Also, you mention The Hellacopters. For that alone you should have my babies! They did a combo-tour with Gluecifer a couple years back, and I've never been happier after a concert ever.
theenginedriver:
i listened to bob hund and i really enjoy it... is there any other music that is similar that you would suggest?
i am really into kaizer's orchestra right now too, so anything similar to that too would help.
and how awesome are the birthday party?
awesome.
