Skambankt FansiteHmm … Somehow, Kaizers have been doing lots of things lateley that I didn’t expect at all. For example this “studio tour” with exactly four shows to cover the album costs (and not more than four shows, because the four are sufficient, even though they could have easily filled Folken twice). Or the fact that they suddenly announced playing at EuroSonic festival (does that mean they are targeting Europe again? *startingrumors*). Or that they have posted new (and in my opinion still somehow immature) songs on their website the last few weeks, so that the audience at the studio tour has a chance to listen to them beforehand. Or that they, on the day of the first concert, feed information to the media that they will not only publish ONE album in 2011, but THREE – sorry by the way that I didn’t manage to pass that information on earlier (and that I don’t really have the time to translate anything right now), but hey, at the time the news came out, I was stuck at Copenhagen Airport without internet… *gg* ... read on!
Konzerte
10.02.2010 Kaizers Orchestra (Folken, Stavanger)
Thursday, February 11th, 201005.09.2009 Kaizers Orchestra (Verket Festival, Mo i Rana)
Monday, September 7th, 2009Of course I couldn’t keep myself from checking the remaining tour dates after my last Kaizers concert at Månefestivalen after all… And it didn’t take long until I found the perfect date! Especially as it was the last concert for this year (and who knows for how long…). OK, maybe I shouldn’t have based my decision on the date only, but also considered where in Norway the concert would take place? =;-) ... read on!
25.7.2009 Kaizers Orchestra (Månefestivalen, Fredrikstad)
Saturday, July 25th, 2009My last Kaizers concert was more than two and a half months ago – way too long, time for another concert! Even though I didn’t have the feeling lately that I really “missed” something the last weeks. But when the stage was set up for Kaizers, when the intro came on, and when Kaizers came up on stage, it did feel special. Hah… finally another Kaizers concert!

2.5.2009 Kaizers Orchestra (Blæst, Trondheim)
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009After only three hours of sleep and seven hours on the train, we arrived in Trondheim – and the weather fit our mood pretty well… Cold, gray, rainy, and the last concert of the tour. Plus, there were rumors that too many tickets had been sold, which made us worry that the place would be so terribly crowded that the concert wouldn’t be any fun.

1.5.2009 Kaizers Orchestra (Mono, Oslo)
Friday, May 1st, 2009The next concert – Oslo, Mono. Actually, we had planned to see Killmaster’s photo exhibition, but no: It was closed because of the holiday. =:-( Too bad, but so we went on to the signing instead. And yes, I actually managed to buy my CDs! I had almost given up on that…The rest of the day, we enjoyed the great sunshine outside – spring at its best, not really what you would expect for Norway at this time of the year!

30.4.2009 Kaizers Orchestra (Cementen, Stavanger)
Thursday, April 30th, 2009And on we go! I’ll only list up my notes here today, because there is so much to do in Oslo (I heard there’s some photo exhibition that might be worth a visit *g*, and then there’s another signing session – and who knows, maybe it’s possible to finally get hold of a CD there?), so I just don’t have any time for a “real” report. =;-)

29.4.2009 Kaizers Orchestra (Garage, Bergen)
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009Actually, I expected not to see Kaizers at all this year – but suddenly, in February, they announced the album Våre Demoner and the corresponding tour! First thought: Naaaah… that’s way too complicated, four days, four concerts, travelling to another Norwegian town every day… second thought: I CAN’T miss out on that!

21.11.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Postbahnhof, Berlin)
Friday, November 21st, 2008Hmm… actually I had planned to celebrate my 100th concert by NOT writing a concert report. =;-) But it was just too good, so I have to, I guess… *g* But I don’t have any photos this time.

20.11.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (LKA, Stuttgart)
Thursday, November 20th, 2008Finally a concert in my home town (or rather the city next to my home town, but that’s good enough)! For the very first time! =:-D OK, I guess I shouldn’t mention that it still took an hour to drive there, but well, that’s Stuttgart… But then I know the LKA pretty well, and because of that I was kinda doubtful while we were standing outside and waiting (the doors didn’t open until a quarter to eight, even though they should have opened at seven). There were very few people there actually – okay, not a big surprise on this tour, though. =:-(

16.11.2008 Kaizers Orchestra (Stahlwerk, Düsseldorf)
Sunday, November 16th, 2008Hmm… naah. Didn’t really like that one. Not sure why – maybe because of the 600 kilometers between the last concert and this one? Or because you had to walk 200 meters in the hall this time before you actually reached the last row of the audience? Or maybe because of the 2 meter aisle separating band and audience? Or the setlist with very little gypsy? Probably a bit of all. So I didn’t really get into the concert mood this time. But then, my friends who came along and had never seen or heard of Kaizers before were amazed. =;-)
