This might be terribly boring, but I am too lazy to put up a fitness filter. So bear with me ( Read more... )

In typical Norwegian fashion, absolutely everyone involved in the previously mentioned ~scandal~ has since apologised and forgiven. How... extremely boring. I honestly don't think Terje needed to apologise for what he did, but Kaizers Orchestra was apparently getting flooded with hate messages (WHY?) on facebook, so they felt a formal apology was ( Read more... )

I bought their entire discography during my stay in Japan (which at that point was one album, one mini-album, and three maxi-singles). I transcribed lyrics, thought about ( Read more... )

I got into them via Kaizers Orchestra, because Skambankt is Terje Winterstø Røthing (guitarist in Kaizers)'s side project 8 ( Read more... )
