In 2000, Kaizers Orchestra recorded the Kaizers Orchestra EP, containing four songs: “Bastard”, “Bøn fra helvete”, “Katastrofen” and “Dekk bord”. During by:Larm , a Norwegian festival focusing on up-and-coming artists, the band’s songs were played frequently on the radio. Kaizers Orchestra’s sound and creative use of instruments was noticed by the small, Scandinavian label Broilerfarm. Their first album, Ompa til du dør , was released on this label in September 2001. It was critically acclaimed and became a success, first in Norway, later in Denmark and the Netherlands. The album won a Spellemannpris (Norwegian Grammy) for “Best Rock”, as well as two Alarm-awards (underground version of Spellemannprisen). Ompa til du dør also made Kaizers Orchestra the highest-selling rock debut to be released in the Norwegian language. The second album, Evig pint , was released in February 2003.
