At a glance: What is going on in the Kaizers universe right now?
Violeta trilogy: Violeta Violeta consists of three albums that tell one story. Vol. I was released in January 2011. Vol. II came out November 2011 in Norway and January 2012 outside of Norway, and Vol. III will follow in November 2012. More...
Violeta Violeta Vol. III: The third part of the Violeta trilogy will be a "gypsy musical" and was composed for symphonic orchestra. The first single will be out early in September. kaizers.no
Vol. III live: Vol. III will celebrate its live premiere at Oslo opera on January 22, 2013. Tickets will be on sale from May 19, 10:00 a.m., at the opera. Show dates / ticket prices / seating chart
Concerts: This summer, Kaizers Orchestra will play lots of festivals. You can check out the list of all known live dates here. In 2013, after the Vol. III live premiere, there will be a "normal" club tour and summer festivals again, before Kaizers Orchestra will take a break. It is not clear yet how long this break will be. (However, it won't be the end of Kaizers Orchestra, but only a - well-deserved - break!)
Vodka Kaizer: Yes, there is a Kaizers vodka! It's only available in Norway, however.

- Kaizers Orchestra have released some more information about Violeta Violeat Vol. III on kaizers.no: Kaizers themselves are done with the recordings - and now it's time for the Stavanger symphonic orchestra! The album, which is referred to as "Gypsy musical within the rock genre", was composed for symphonic orchestra. However, Kaizers promise that the songs will work just as well in a "normal" band version on tour as with the full orchestra, or even in a plain piano version. Sounds promising! We'll get our first foretaste in early September, when the first single will be released. And after the live premiere in January 2013, there will be a club tour again to present the new album.
And don't forget: Tickets for the live premiere at Oslo opera will be on sale starting this upcoming Saturday! - 2012/05/01
- It's always the same: As soon as I'm offline for a couple of days, there's some huge Kaizer news! =;-)
On June 16, there will be a free concert in Stavanger: Janove will perform some Kaizers songs together with the Stavanger symphonic orchestra! The idea came up when Kaizers recorded some songs for Violeta Violeta Vol. III together with the Stavanger symphonic orchestra. The concert will be part of the yearly concert series "Til byen fra Statoil". More information and an interview is available here.

- Kaizers are still busy on tour - and this week, I'm back in Norway again (which is the reason it's so quiet on the kaizers_kj twitter =;-)). And of course I attended another Kaizers concert at the start of my vacation. Enjoy my report from the concert in Ås!
