Norwegian alt-country-rock mavericks Katzenjammer release the folksy and upbeat ‘My Dear’ on the 11th of May, the second single to be taken from their critically acclaimed album ‘Rockland’.

 

Turid Jørgensen takes on the lead vocals for ‘My Dear’, with lyrics by fellow member Solveig Hielo. “My Dear is about hope and excitement in the beginning of a relationship. When the passion is binding you together and making the world look warm, soft and yellow, you´re starting to think about what will happen after all the excitement is fading out.  When the everyday life is kicking in, will you still kiss my neck? All relationships are dynamic and need to be nursed. This song is a tribute to universal love!” exclaims Sol.

 

Katzenjammer are nothing if not utterly distinctive. One of the most accomplished, instinctive, charismatic and nonconformist bands around, Katzenjammer – Turid, Solveig, Anne Marit Bergheim and Marianne Sveen - are all impressive singers and multi-instrumentalists, sharing lead vocals, instruments, song-writing duties and, as The Guardian observed recently, “an enormous sense of fun”.  There is no one like Katzenjammer.

 

And right now this band are writing the best songs of their career. Their third album, ‘Rockland’ is undoubtedly their most refined and accomplished effort so far. Their singular sound is driven by a deep sense of adventure, invention and curiosity from the bass-heavy, rapped-up funk of ‘Oh My God’, to the more serenely melodic singalong tracks like ‘My Own Tune’ and gorgeous first single ‘Lady Grey’ (playlisted on Radio 2), the stomping, wild-hearted blues of ‘Bad Girl’ and the brilliantly inquisitive ‘Curvaceous Needs’. On its release ‘Rockland’ entered the charts throughout Europe including the top 10 in Germany and their home turf Norway.

 

From their earliest days being invited to play David Byrne’s personally curated stage at Bonnaroo, to supporting Keane at London’s O2 Arena, selling out two of their own headlining UK tours and having Steve Lamacq proclaim them as “the best gig of my time at Glastonbury”, Katzenjammer have always had a huge impact with their genre-mixing, instrument-swapping, full-on riotous shows.

 

Katzenjammer also head back to the UK in May 2015 for a four date tour in support of ‘Rockland’ before returning for a summer of festival appearances including Cropredy and Cambridge Folk Festival plus more to be announced.

 

Headline tour dates:

Friday 8 May        Nottingham         Rescue Rooms   

Saturday 9           Glasgow                Oran Mor                             

Sunday 10             Manchester         Ruby Lounge                      

Monday 11           London                  Scala
