Kaizers to Eurosonic
!

Tuesday, 05 January 2010 21:54

After a legendary concert at the Roskilde Festival in the summer of 2002, Kaizers Orchestra were invited to play at the Eurosonic Festival in Groningen, The Netherlands, in January 2003. Now, seven years after they made blasé music industry people dance "ompa" and sing "hallelujah" as loud as they could, the band can look back on several hundred shows throughout the countries of Europe. Many doors were opened after that one successful gig in Groningen.

Kaizers Orchestra have now been invited once again to the Eurosonic Festival, this time as a "special guest". Eurosonic is not in the habit of re-inviting bands that have performed there before, but since Norway is a focus country this year, and since Kaizers have become exactly what Eurosonic set out to make of them, there will be a reunion when the festival takes in just over a week!  

In addition, EBU (European Broadcasting Union) wants Kaizers to perform at their 10-year anniversary for live performance cooperation on Friday during the Eurosonic Festival. Since 2000, EBU has headed a cooperation on the recording of concerts and the broadcasting of these shows on radio stations in its member countries. Kaizers Orchestra will therefore be playing two concerts during this year's festival, and since they are soon to hit the studio to start recording a new album, they have promised to present some new material. We'll just have to wait and see if they can make the crowd sing "hallelujah" this year as well...    

- We're happy that Music Export Norway has worked hard this year to make Norway a focus country at Eurosonic. It turns out that for good live acts, a festival like Eurosonic can have a great effect when it comes to getting gigs throughout Europe. At least it worked for us, says Janove Ottesen. 

- How would you sum up your international career so far?

- The first 100 gigs that Kaizers Orchestra played abroad were in front of such varying numbers as 30 to 300 fans. But we saw that more and more people came to our shows each tour, and we decided to invest a part of our income from tours in Norway on touring abroad. It was a gradual process. Now, we normally play at venues with a 1000 people capacity in all the countries where we have invested a lot of time and effort. Hard work, a firm belief in the project and a sound that is distinctive enough that no other country has a band that is quite like us have given us the recognition we enjoy today. It is hard to tell whether we could have made it anyhow, but we certainly did get off to great start due to the Eurosonic Festival.

The Norwegian radio channel P3 (basicly the only one that ever plays Kaizers Orchestra songs) has a ballot going these days selecting the best norwegian songs of the decade. Kaizers Orchestra are nominated with no less than three songs among the 100 selected: "Kontroll på kontinentet", "Ompa til du dør" and "Maestro". They are all in the top five at the moment, but the top spot is currently held by Madrugada's "Majesty".  That's why we need you to let your voices be heard!

So get yer yayas out and vote ! Here's the link:  P3 ballot

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 !

(Scroll for english translation!)

På en pressekonferanse på Rogaland Teater tidligere i dag lanserte teatersjef Arne Nøst en lokal storsatsing, sammen med et par kjente fjes fra Kaizers, samt forfatter Tore Renberg.

De fire planlegger nemlig premiere på Kaizerstykket "Sonny" på Rogaland Teater i 2011!

Teaterstykket blir bygget rundt tekstuniverset fra de tre første Kaizer-albumene, Ompa til du dør, Evip pint og Maestro. Tekst og persongalleriet i sangtekstene danner hovedrammen i fortellingen, men selve stykket skal skrives av forfatter og dramatiker Tore Renberg. Det blir altså en skikkelig lokal storsatsing dette her.

- Fra dag én har folk sagt til oss at musikken vår er veldig visuell og cabaret-aktig, så sånn sett har det vel alltid ligget i kortene at en dag kommer dette materialet til å bli fremført på en teaterscene et eller annet sted, forteller Janove Kaizer.

- Samtidig har vi følt at både musikken og vi har trengt å modnes litt før vi eventuelt skulle gjøre noe, utbroderer Geir Kaizer.

- Og vi føler at vi topper laget nå når vi først setter i gang. Stavanger er hjemmebane for oss, vi er fans av Tores forfatterskap, og vi opplever Arne Nøst og Rogaland Teater som veldig entusiastiske og åpne. Det passer veldig bra å gjøre dette på vårt ti-års jubileum i 2011. En optimal oppsummering av et annerledes stykke norsk rockhistorie egentlig.

- Denne forestillingen vil ikke bli basert på de 20 mest downloada sporene våre, og spunnet rundt dem i sånn Mama Mia stil. Det er Kaizertekstene, og manuset Tore bygger ut av dem som er grunnmuren i dette stykket. Vi kommer til å bruke de sangene og den musikken som yter historien og stemningen mest rettferdighet. Kaizers Orchestra kommer selv til å gjøre nyinnspillinger av egen musikk som skal brukes i denne anledningen, men sangene blir skal selvsagt bli sunget av skuespillerne som framfører stykket. Og hvem de blir får vi bare vente og se...


English please...

At a press conference at Rogaland Theater last week, theater manager Arne Nøst – together with author Tore Renberg and a couple of familiar faces from Kaizers  Orchestra – announced that the theater will be putting on a rather special play.

The four are planning a premiere of the Kaizers-based play "Sonny" at Rogaland Theater in 2011!

The play will be built around the textual universe of the first three Kaizers albums: Ompa til du dør, Evig pint and Maestro. The text and character gallery in the lyrics will provide the main frame of the story, but the play itself will be written by author and playwright Tore Renberg. This will indeed be a grand local effort! 

- People have told us from day one that our music is very visual and cabaret-ish, so in a way it has always been kind of a given that this material one day would be performed on a theater stage somewhere, says Janove Kaizer.

- At the same time we have felt that both we and the music needed to mature a bit before doing something like this, adds Geir Kaizer.


- And it is amazing to have such a great team lined up now that we are finally doing this. Stavanger is our home ground, we are fans of Tore Renberg, and Arne Nøst and Rogaland Theater seem to us as very enthusiastic and open-minded. Doing this in 2011 is also great, as it will coincide with our ten-year anniversary as a band. An optimal summing up of a somewhat unusual piece of Norwegian rock history, one might say.

- The play will not be based on our twenty most downloaded tracks, and then spun around them Mamma Mia-style, you know. It is the Kaizer lyrics and the script that Tore carves out from them that will form the foundation of the play. We will be using the lyrics and the music that do the story and the mood the most justice. We will re-record parts of our back catalogue to be used in connection with the play, but the songs will of course be sung by the actors. And as for who will get the parts, we will just have to wait and see…

As some of you may have noticed, our homepage www.kaizers.no is down at the moment.  Not much to our surprise, people have been asking us what is up with that. Why is it down, and for how long will it be down for.

Answer is,  - we really don't know.

We have been trying to get in touch with our contact persons at mubito for the past five days, but all our mail have failed to reach their designated recipient. Why, we don't know.

What we know is that mubito has gone bankrupt, and has been taken over by another company. Last thing we heard is that that will not affect the Kaizer website. Apparantly that is not the case.

So all we can do is wait and see what happens. We'll get back to you as soon as we know anything more.

P.S. You should be out playing around in the sun now anyway, not sitting indoors staring into your laptop

Kaizer-gitarist Geir Zahl hadde med seg et lite HD kamera da Kaizers Orchestra var i studio for å spille inn "Våre Demoner" i januar. Resultatet av den gjerningen kan du  se i dokumentaren "Die Polizei", som nå ligger på youtube.

It isn't only the release "Våre Demoner" in itself that is special; also
the sales procedure will be somewhat out of the ordinary this time
around! You see, the CD version of the album will only be available in
stores for one week – or six regular workdays, that is, from Monday
April 27 until Saturday May 2.
If we had released this news item on last Wednesday, we would probably have been accused of pulling an April Fools prank. We are, however, not trying to pull anyone's leg.

- We thought that to limit the availability would be a good way to
reflect and symbolize the exclusive and limited edition aspects of this
release, says Geir Kaizer cryptically. – Well, the content in itself
isn't all that exclusive, so we therefore thought that it would be a
clever idea to limit the time frame in which it is available, as a way
of illustrating that this is an exclusive release, as say compared to a
regular album. This is a compilation of left-over material, discarded
ideas that we've given a work-over, mainly intended for the most
die-hard Kaizers fans out there. We figured that they won't need more
than a week to get to a record store and pick up a copy, anyhow, so
what the hell, you know. I don't think this has ever been done before,
either, so we're truly in the innovation business now!      
  
- So, the total number of copies that will be out there depends solely on
how many you'll be able to sell this week alone? There might be a
reason that this has never been tried before, have you ever thought of
that?

- Your mental arithmetic is impressive, my friend! But
yes, we have thought of that, and we're not stressed out by it. If we
sell 5 copies this week, then 5 copies is the number that will be out
there … in addition to the 500 copies that I plan to put aside and
keep, of course … and if we sell 10 000 copies, then that will be the
number of copies in circulation. The main point, though, is that we'll
never print a second edition of this album.
 
- There's also talk of a digipack version, and what about vinyl and digital sales?

- We'll make a digipack version in an edition of 3000 copies. If we sell
more than that, the rest will be regular dual cases. Other than that,
there's no difference in content between these two versions. We'll also
print a vinyl edition of 800 copies, and digitally, the album will be
available in the usual way, like all other albums.

- How many copies do you expect to sell during this one week, then?

- We're hoping to sell 5-6000 copies during the course of these six days.

It might be a good idea to get your hands on not one, but two copies of this release!

Billetter kan kjøpes på billettservice mandag andre mars kl 0900 !

Billettservice åpner for salg av Våre Demoner Tour billetter mandag andre mars klokka 0900. Du kan kjøpe via nett, eller ringe på telefon nr 81533133.


Turnélista ser altså slik ut:

 

29 april   Garage, Bergen  (18 års aldersgrense)

30 april   Cementen, Stavanger (21 års aldersgrense)

1 mai      Mono, Oslo  (22 års aldersgrense)

2 mai      Blæst, Trondheim   (20 års aldersgrense)

 

OBS: Til Cementen-konserten legges 40 billetter ut for salg i baren mandag
andre mars klokken 22:00 ! Altså inget salg hos billettservice til
denne gigen!




Det blir ikke åpnet for vergeordning noen av stedene da kapasitetene er så begrensede som de er.

 

- Hele denne Våre Demoner greien er egentlig et slags fan-prosjekt, både
albumet og denne turnéen er på mange måter et direkte resultat av et
meget hyggelig "press" fra mennesker som liker Kaizers Orchestra, sier
Rune Mink Kaizer som sitter i Kaizer productions og fintenker kånsept
for tiden.

 

- De fleste har sett oss spille de større klubbene i Norge, og mange av
nåværende Kaizerfans var for unge til å se oss da vi spilte på små
scener rundt omkring, så det  vi nå gjør er å gjenskape turnéruta vi
slo gjennom med høsten 2001. Da spilte vi på akkurat disse stedene, så
det er et slags takk for sist fra oss, og en mulighet for de som har
sett oss mange ganger allerede å se oss i en ganske intim setting.


 

- Dere har også innrettet billettsalget etter fan-innfallsvinkel?

 

- Ja, vi har hatt et samarbeid med Henning på www.drmowinckel.com, vår
offisielle fanklubb i Norge. Han/de har fått forkjøpsrett på halvparten
av kapasiteten på de ulike stedene. Det vil i praksis si at bare
halvparten av kapasiteten nå er lagt ut til salg på billettservice på
mandag.

 

- Det blir mye avviklingsteknisk snakk her nå, men hva har dere tenkt å spille på denne turnéen egentlig?

 

- He-he, godt spørsmål! Det blir nok en litt obskur tour ja, med
hovedfokus på låter fra albumet vi slipper 20 april. Det blir egentlig
litt som å debutere på nytt for oss. Vi aner jo ikke hvordan disse
sangene vil funke live, og tar jo en sjangs sånn sett, men vi er blant
venner og satser på at det går bra. Vi tror det blir en fin
utenom-det-vanlige Kaizer-opplevelse dette her.

The trash calendar ist da!


Kaizers wunderbaren german fan site www.kaizers.de are keeping the christmas spirit alive, this years christmas calendar is ready! Special for you!!

Shirin and Thomas from the relentless, yet lovely "save-me-kaizer-team" dropped by a rather shabby seven-gigs-in-row-and -starting-to-look-like-it-too bunch of Kaizers in the pittoresque south German town of Aschaffenburg this November. The motley gang of autobahn mileage collectors had been warned that they would be submitted to some appropriate trash-calendar stunts, and reluctantly appeared on the trash-set, waving goodbye to (an allready descending) sosial status in order to get the right amount of trash into the equation and stepping up for the greater good. Hero of day was Helge ofcourse, who as always were a stranger to any feeling of embarrasment, and went to it like a duck to water. All praise to him.

So special for you, straight outta Kaizers.de's own Kaizer weinachtsmarkt, we present the Trash Calendar!!
Be sure not to miss out on this!!
