If nothing else, they're cultured. Their sound is typified by a mix of alley-pan drums, raucous horns and dirty jazz guitar. The band's name gives one insight, they're definitely an orchestra of some kind, albeit a completely unheard of kind. There's no conventional way to describe how the band sounds. Ompa Til Du Dor was their first album, released in 2002, and they have since released two further LPs, Evig Pint in 2003 and Maestro in 2005. The band puts on an energetic live show, playing 150+ shows a year primarily in Norway, Denmark, but also at various festivals and key locations in Europe. Three hit albums, a Norwegian grammy, and numerous other accolades later, there are few who would dare challenge them for the crown. They were formed in Bergen, Norway, in 1998 and set out with the intent mission of becoming Norway's greatest ever live act. They have quite a dedicated fanbase in mainland Europe, and a huge following in their native land.
