NOTE!
Katzenjammer are forced to cancel their upcoming show at Bar Loose (Wed 7th of December) due illness. New concert date is coming soon - we will post more infromation as soon as possible.
First impressions matter, as psychologists and professional headhunters will be happy to tell you for a substantial fee. If that´s the case, Katzenjammer could probably land jobs as the new four-woman executive committee at, say, some world-famous technology company known for exquisitely designed laptops and telephones.
As premier meetings go, there are very few things that can beat a night out with Katzenjammer.
The four girls from Oslo, Norway deliver their very own brand of balkan cow-punk, vaudevillian rowdiness, swamp-soaked blues and the occasional eye-moistening moment of pure beauty, all while juggling some thirty-odd different instruments between them, singing spot-less harmonies and playing silly games with the crowd.
In fact, most people enjoy their first Katzenjammer concert so much that they will come back if given half the chance, as evidenced by sold out shows at ever larger venues all over Europe, and a steadily growing community of Facebook fans.
The past couple of years have brought the Katzenjammer girls - Anne Marit, Solveig, Marianne and Turid - around the globe, touching base along the way with some of what has been the flavour and inspiration to their music all along - from balalaika-infested Murmansk nightclubs via Bavarian beer-basements to hickory-smoked backyard barbecues in Texas. They have visited Moscow, Russia and Woodford, Australia, played at David Byrne´s stage at Boonaroo in Tennessee, opened for Keane at the O2 in London - they have put the Roskilde Festival in Denmark on its head, and were the first band ever to perform four shows at the world´s largest music festival, Summerfest in Milwaukee. They have done The Great Escape in Brighton and the legendary Glastonbury Festival, entertained the NYPD at the Gramercy Theatre in New York, played many, many gigs all over Europe and North America and, of course, a Bar or two In Amsterdam.
The first half of 2011 saw Katzenjammer returning to Europe for another round of dates in Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Ireland, Scotland and the UK, while simultaneously finishing their sophomore record following 2008´s Le Pop.
The new album is called “A Kiss Before You Go” and will be out this fall, followed by yet another big tour, starting in October and running through the end of the year.
You can try to keep up with their insanely busy goings-on by following @katzenjammers on Twitter, visiting facebook.com/katzenjammerne or simply go to www.katzenjammer.com.
"This is a wild polka-pop ride that skips daintily and charmingly from folk to swing and transfixes half the crowd whilst spurring the other half to dancing like they haven’t got work in the morning." – John Bownas, virtualfestivals.com
"The best gig of my time at Glastonbury!" - Steve Lamacq, BBC
