It was critically acclaimed and became a success, first in Norway, later in Denmark and the Netherlands. Their first album, Ompa til du dør, was released on this label in September 2001. Kaizers Orchestra's sound and creative use of instruments was noticed by the small, Scandinavian label Broilerfarm. During by:Larm, a Norwegian festival focusing on up-and-coming artists, the band's songs were played frequently on the radio. In 2000, Kaizers Orchestra recorded the Kaizers Orchestra EP, containing four songs: "Bastard", "Bøn fra helvete", "Katastrofen" and "Dekk bord". 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. 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. Of its 1000 copies, only 500 or so were sold the first year. In 1998, childhood friends Janove Ottesen and Geir Zahl released their only album by their band gnom called Mys. Their final concert was held on 14 September 2013 at DNB Arena in Stavanger, and was also streamed live online. In 2012, the group announced that following a 2013 "Farewell Tour", they would take a long break. Violeta Violeta and retirement (2009–2013).They are notable for being among the first non- black metal Norwegian artists singing in their native language to become popular beyond Scandinavia. Kaizers Orchestra was a Norwegian alternative rock band formed on 1 January 2000.

The band wears suits with ties, and so did part of the audience.
That's what made me thing "extreme goggles". The keyboard player of the band is a bit of a weirdo, wearing a gas-mask during the gig. The industrial edge are the barrels, which reminded me of Test Dept. If rock & roll had been invented in the 1920s, this is what it may have sounded. It has, incidentaly, strange noises involved, such as the piano, the upright bass, and the barrels being banged. There is a large sign over the stage with the name of the band, in my eyes in "cabaret" style, the roaring 20s, stuff like that. The stage contains, apart from the usual rock gear, two large barrels, parts of wheels, a wooden piano, and cosy lamps. It's a mixture of many European sounds which makes it all a bit weird. The band started as a punkband some years ago, but the music they make today is not punk at all. The KO is a band from Norway, singing some kind of Norwegian dialect, so none of the lyrics can be understood by non-Norwegians. Last week I was at a concert by Kaizers Orchestra.
I can't decide wether to put this as steam- or dieselpunk or really off topic.
