Katzenjammer
Katzenjammer
Katzenjammer is a four-piece all-female band from Oslo, Norway, formed in 2005. The members of the band Anne Marit Bergheim, Solveig Heilo, Turid Jørgensen Honerud, and Marianne Sveen. Their style is hard to define in just a few words, but their music combines elements of folk, pop, rock, blues, country, and probably a few other genres. They are all Norwegian; however, most of their lyrics are in English. They also play a bunch of unusual instruments that they keep swapping among themselves while performing on stage. They don’t have one lead singer—instead, they simply take turns singing the lead on different songs. The band’s name was inspired by the old American comic strip The Katzenjammer Kids, and it is pronounced [ˈkætsənˌdʒæmər] in English and [ˈkaʦənˈjamɐ] in German.
