To other Norwegians, the band is instantly recognizable both because of their unique, unpredictable style, and because of vocalist Ottesen's distinctive Jæren dialect, shared by two of the other band members. They are notable for being among the first non-black metal Norwegian bands or artists singing in their native language to become popular beyond Scandinavia. Formed on 1st of January 2000 in the city of Bergen, the band consists of Janove Ottesen and Geir Zahl on vocals/guitar/oil barrel, Helge Risa on pump organ, Øyvind Storesund on accordion and bass, guitarist/percussionist Terge Vinterstø Røthing, and Rune Solheim on the drums. The Norwegian sextet Kaizers Orchestra builds cathartic rock songs that borrow heavily from the dirges of Tin Pan Alley and Eastern European folk music.
