The two leading members, vocalist Janove Ottesen and guitarist Geir Zahl, had known each other for years and started their first band (Blod, Snått & Juling) in 1991. The lineup: - Janove Ottesen (vocals, guitar, piano, organ, oil drums)

† Vinterst wasn't an original member, but he joined later in 2000.
‡yvind Storesund wasn't an original member, but he joined later in 2003 to replace for Jon Sjen. Their first album, Ompa Til Du Dr (Ompa Until You Die), was released on the underground label Broiler Farm in 2001. It became a success, first in Norway, later in Denmark and the Netherlands. The second album, Evig Pint (Forever Tortured), was released late 2002 / early 2003. The third album is scheduled to be released in Norway and Europe in September 2005. The music of Kaizers Orchestra is inspired by everything from Tom Waits's pessimistic lyrics and ompa-ompa to AC/DC's heavy metal. Their lyrics, written by Ottesen and Zahl, are all in Norwegian. They're regarded as one of Norway's best contemporary live bands, and are touring intensively. Discography Albums EPs - Dd Manns Tango (2002)
