Katzenjammer

An all-female Norwegian quartet whose music design is rooted in both pop/rock and roll and country-folk, Katzenjammer produced their full-length debut in 2008 with Le Pop, an album that was both critically and commercially effective. Founded in 2005 in Oslo, Norway, the quartet is certainly made up of multi-instrumentalists Turid Jørgensen, Solveig Heilo, Marianne Sveen, and Anne Marit Bergheim, who between them play accordion, mandolin, electric guitar, piano, balalaika bass, glockenspiel, trumpet, kazoo, melodica, banjo, drums, and even more. Katzenjammer is carefully connected with songwriter Mats Rybø, though in addition they write music of their very own. The music group cites an array of influences including Goran Bregovi, Danny Elfman, Django Reinhardt, and Knutsen & Ludvigsen. Katzenjammer produced their record debut in 2008 with Le Pop on Propeller Recordings. Furthermore to “A Club in Amsterdam,” that was something of the breakout novelty strike, Le Pop contains the singles “Play My Darling, Play” and “Hey Ho in the Devil’s Back again.” Nominated for the Spellemannprisen (i.e., Norwegian Grammy) prize for greatest debut record of the entire year in 2008, Le Pop was a high Ten hit in the Norwegian albums graph and was reissued in ’09 2009 by adding “Demon Kitty Rag,” a fresh one. Besides their important and commercial achievement as recording performers, Katzenjammer is certainly formidable live action that was booked for main international music celebrations like the 2009 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Celebration in america.
