You've not heard of Katzenjammer? Well your ears are in for a treat! Basically its a group of four very charming Norwegian girls/ladies who can knock out a great tune. This album has some stunners on it - Tea With Cinnamon; A Bar In Amsterdam; Play My Darling Play; Demon Kitty Rag are all musical classics - combining more musical styles than you care to think of and probably inventing some along the way. Eclectic is the word. But the end result is acoustic magic. European/American/Wonderful. And these ladies can PLAY. They rotate instruments and vocals throughout the album and their stage show. Bass, drums, accordian, guitar, keyboards....all sorts. Oh, just buy it!

Katzenjammer are four of the most energetic and enthusiastic musicians I have ever encountered. I guess you have to energetic to stay warm in their native Norway, but they don't seem to let up anywhere they go!
They draw inspiration from a whole slew of mysical styles from the very beginning to the end of the 20th century, mostly European, but give all of them a fresh twist or mince them up to sprinkle over a dish of darkly symbolic lyrics (mostly written by their friend Mats Rybo). Oh, and from really old cartoons (The Katzenjammer Kids, Tom and Jerry, Popeye all get a mention in interviews!). The overall atmosphere of the resulting album is something like a carnival, or a vaudeville or burlesque show, but with some bang-up-to-date pop influences in there too.
And of course, it goes without saying that they are all unbelievably cute. Even when Marianne's wearing that huge silly wig! =:o}
"Le Pop" is now my number one "I need something to wake me up!" CD. I look forward to pairing it with their 2nd album, "A Kiss Before You Go".

Great band with a difference. Lyrics are great and music very catchy. They make the songs their own from a variety of tracks.

When I discovered Katzenjammer I was immediately drawn in by the feel good factor of their music. I just love this album, it makes me feel happy every time I listen to it. My favourites on this album are Hey ho on the devil's back, which is a little bit creepy, but brillianly energetic and funny (especially when performed live, unmissable!) and Play my darling play, which is just such a lovely tune :) Also not to miss are A bar in Amsterdam and Demon Kitty Rag! This band consists of four very talented girls, who play lots of different instruments and put so much effort into their music, that it just makes it fun to listen to. I saw them live twice so far and they are just the best live band ever, and I have seen many bands live! A must buy in my opinion!!

First heard them on 6 Music, found their myspace page and now bought the album, as crazy as Gogol Bordello, multi instrumentalists with their own unique take on Scandanavian World folk meets Rock and Roll by way of Kurt Wiel, must buy album of the year, if you like bouncing up and down with the occasional breather thrown in get this now, 5 stars isn't enough, worth it just for the Bass Balalaika

I first saw this band on youtube they are bonkers but love their music,I would not even speculate the genre as they seem unique to me hope to hear more from them in the future.

Katzenjammer came to my attention at a a local music festival - and they were awesome. Four Norwegian girls who seem to all play all of their instruments - and there's a lot of instruments involved. Their music (across this album and a Kiss Before you Go) ranges from rock, pop and country, to sea shanties; and a fantastic cover version of Genesis' Land of Confusion. You'll definitely find your foot tapping.
All in all - a great little find :)

This was recommended by my sons girlfriend as we both love quirky female popsters. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something a little different. Fav track Demon Kitty Rag.

An eclectic mix of pop, folk and rock
Not only are these four girls beautiful but they each take turns to perform on different instruments and Anne-Marit plays three at once! Read more
