Norwegian bands and artists

Lol I've heard of Turbonegro before. Was in another forum and the question was whether the name was problematic.

I'd say it is and I think that was the point. It probably served them well as a ridiculous and vaguely offensive name that was hard to forget. I also think it was a little edgy in the 80s and then the lines have shifted a bit since then 😄 it probably doesn't serve them as well now.

A little more on the guys:

Bassist Thomas Seltzer (Happy Tom) has hosted a TV show where he interviews people sometimes on the fringes of society and has also made a documentary about Trumpism in the US, etc.

Knut Schreiner I'm a little unsure of, but he did have his own west coast band Kåre & the Cavemen that later changed name to Euroboys. Sounds like a porn name.

@Marie Monday maybe Scampi Chips Dip & Campari would be interesting to you? One of the members is a dear old friend of mine who came to the concert we played recently 🙂

@Marie Monday Is this like the third time I dump random girl punk related stuff on you? 😅 I'm sorry. I got too few RL friends who really appreciate it.

[Marie Monday]

idk but I appreciate it

I just got a couple Jaga Jazzist records a few days ago:

Nice ones, Jans 🙂 I like them! I should definitely check those out.

Maybe someone else knows about the seemingly mostly forgotten pop band Briskeby?

They had some pleasant hits in the early 2000s, the first of them I believe being Propaganda. Some examples:

I'm reminded of The Cardigans that were active around the same time, but seemed to have more success.

I think Briskeby were good, but perhaps just a bit too straight and clean to be truly memorable.
