History

Janove was given a guitar by his grandmother as a young boy. Bryne, being the small town that it was, young Janove had nothing to do but play guitar and football. Janove and his friend Geir Zahl began writing music in his cellar. From this cooperation strange lyrics and songs emerged, most being recorded on a cheap tape recorder. From there Blod, Snått og Juling came into existence. In 1994 they produced their first studio tape En glad tunnel. Sadly only 50 copies were sold, but for their second album they sought to be more serious. Better studio equipment was used but still sales only reached 100 or copies.

Janove moved to Bergen in 1995 to study but still focused on his musical career. In 1996 he decided to join the army, but soon he regretted the decision and moved back to Bergen as a music teacher. When he returned Janove and Geir decided to change the band name to gnom. They released the album Mys in 1998. The album's first single Hemmelig Beskjed, an ompa song, was the most audience-shifting song. From then on they played more along the lines of folk music. The next folk music song, Bastard, was what set them in the direction that they are in now, also creating their new name for the band. In the song there is a line which is translated as: "I was taken care of by a certain Mr Kaizer. He is the proud owner of the world's heaviest Siamese." The name "Kaizers Orchestra" was derived from this obscure line of lyrics.
