Freyr Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Has anybody heard Norwegian music? Any opinions or favourites? The traditional music is at least similar to traditional Shetland music. Maybe I could impose some samples on yous guys. Heres one I don't know what to classify other than folk music. Heres a tune from the String Sisters from Shetland, Norway, Sweden, USA and Scotland (I think). I'm personally not fanatical about music so I just listen to whaterver I find good...

Freyr Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 When I think of good semirecent Norwegian music these three might be good examples: GÃ¥te:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3IISdM9IQs Bertine Zetlitz:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OviIggZw1Oc Mira Craig:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O9D8ntOi9s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Cheers for the links Freyr. Some interesting stuff I'm into quite a few Norwegian bands/ artists. Here's my top 3 "BigBang" are a brilliant rocky 3 piece (from Oslo I believe). The frontman, Øystein Greni, is a great guitarist and singer, and the "Electric Psalmbook" album is a cracker - www.smallbang.net Here's a couple of live tracks http://youtube.com/watch?v=QlBHFelYzqg "Jaga Jazzist" is a kind of experimental jazz/ techno/ jungle/ whatever else 10 piece band. I'm listening to "The Stix" album as I write this. I'd forgotten how good it was. Thoroughly recommended to lovers of the way out.... www.jagajazzist.com (tons of mp3s n stuff on the website and a link to their myspace) "Sissy Wish" is a quirky female singer with a kind of nasal, but nice, voice. I bought the "You may breathe..." album after seeing the "Annoying" single on Norwegian TV. I still listen to that song every couple of days www.myspace.com/sissywish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freyr Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I saw Big Bang live some years ago. It was in a quite "intimate" venue, but the lead guy still did the stage dive and played guitar while being carried about by the audience. At that point it was about half a meter or less between him and the ceiling Turbonegro is one Norwegian band which seems to have gathered quite a good international following. Morten Abel also got some attention from a certain city after releasing this song: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freyr Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Great band with a new sound. Norwegian Harding fiddles in a funky way. Two songs here: http://www.myspace.com/valkyrienallstars and one here: I think the two first ones are the best. Their website:www.valkyrienallstars.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deardron Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I'm a big fan of Backstreet Girls, old Norwegian rock'n'roll band: http://www.backstreetgirls.nethttp://www.myspace.com/backstreetgirls I think this is one of the world's most underrated and original bands, even if their style is a mix of AC/DC-Ramones-Quo-Chuck Berry. Such songs as Gypo and Rattlesnake Charlie are among the best rock tunes I've ever heard. The band have obviously influenced Turbonegro, Gluecifer, The Carburetors and hundreds of other less known Norwegian bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob saccamano Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Frigg are an excellent fiddle group. They are a mixture of Finns and Norwegians so I think it qualifies as Norwegian music. http://youtube.com/watch?v=7a1tPP38bJY http://www.myspace.com/friggtheband As it says on their website: 'Frigg is a multitalented Finnish-Norwegian seven who produces fresh Scandinavian folk fiddling accompanied by fretted instruments, upright bass and endless energy. The style they represent is a mixture of Kaustinen (Finland) and Nord-Trondelag (Norway) -traditions flavoured with a taste of americana and irish folk music.'
