There's no conventional way to describe the music of Norwegian six-piece Kaizers Orchestra. sounds. The band's name gives one insight, they're definitely an
orchestra of some kind, albeit a completely unheard of kind. Their sound is typified by a mix of alley-pan drums, raucous horns and dirty jazz guitar. The
band's website takes a wild stab at classifying the sex-piece, announcing: "Their style of music is rock, with a major Eastern European flavour, a la Tom
Waits." If nothing else, they're cultured. The website spiel goes on to declare: "The line-up features drums and electric guitar, which goes without saying,

Kaizers Orchestra have released seven full-length albums to date. Ompa Til Du Dor was their first album, released in 2002, and they have since released
six further LPs, Evig Pint in 2003, Maestro in 2005, Maskineri in 2007, Våre Demoner in 2009,Violeta Violeta Vol.I in January 2011
and Violeta Violeta Vol. II in November 2011. Their debut earned them a Norwegian Grammy, recording sales in excess of 100,000 in their native land
alone.
