Katzenjammer is a delightful all-girl band from Oslo, Norway, featuring the vocals and varied talents of Anne Marit Bergheim, Marianne Sveen, Solveig Heilo and Turid Jørgensen . I honestly expected these gals to comprise yet another poppy little girl band to disregard (especially considering that the title of their 2008 debut is Le Pop), but boy, was I wrong. Combining rock, pop, folk, and, dare I say, circus elements, the girls of Katzenjammer exude brio and talent. Everyone can sing, and between the four of them they play more than 29 different instruments, ranging from bass balalaika to harmonica to trumpet. From the bluesy strains of "Hey Ho On The Devil's Back" to the country carnival of "To The Sea," these girls seem to be having the time of their lives, and it's hard not to be swept along with them.
