Kaizers Orchestra plays two festivals this weekend, "Granittrock" in Groruddalen right outside of Oslo on friday the 4 th of september, and at "Verket 09" in Mo i Rana on saturday the 5 th.

These will be the last gigs the band do this year, concluding an active summer festival season, mainly in Norway, counting 20 shows.

- It's been really good yes. We've done the festivals we did not get around to last summer. There are quite a lot of them, and it's been a pleasure to visit Norway from top to bottom this summer! Says Janove The Jackal Kaizer.

- So how about 2010? How is that looking for you guys?

- Next year will mainly be focused on wrapping up the songwriting, rehearsing and recording the next chapter of the Kaizer adventure. The future starts in 2010!

- No tours?

- We have discussed doing a small tour of Norway in the winter of 2010, and we are still looking into that without having settled anything as of yet. Aside from that we do not plan on playing any shows until there is a new album out.

- The one you record next year, when will that be out?

- We are thinking album release early 2011.

- So what are you doing this fall then?

- We will be meeting up to rehearse new material, so we'll definatly stay in shape. And as you know we all have different motors going, alongside the Kaizer train. I have been producing a couple of albums lately for other artists, due for release this fall, I'll also be doing school tours with my "bluegrass" outfit "Tresko", Terje is gigging and writing new material with Skambankt,  Geir is working on a new solo project, due for release first half of next year sometime, Rune is involved in making an album with a buddy of his, Øyvind has his jazz projects and his basement he needs to fix, Helge...  I think he workes in the mines or something.

Allright. Last call for seeing Kaizers Orchestra live this year then this weekend !
