Sorry - nur auf Englisch...The fifth day on tour, the second week in the charts. Kaizers are still the number one live, but had to forfeit to Michael Jackson on the VG list. But anyway they are still the most selling Norwegian band in the country!
It is the re-release of the 25 years old Thriller album by Jackson that in its third week tops Norway's official charts. Kaizers Orchestra's Maskineri is on the second place, before Madrugada. What does Ted Winters think about this?
- We would have liked to think that this "Mette Marit plays psalms" record would be the first that passed us on the charts. The combination of monarchy and christianity seems pretty unbeatable, but so it happened to be the king of pop that sent us to the second place! Pretty strong of him, actually! Obviously there were many that didn't own the record before!
- You are working hard on the road, how is the atmosphere on day five?
- It is good! Today we have been up at Eli and Asbjørn Storesund's and got a nice dumpling meal and a little display of and introduction to the joy of the Hardanger fiddle. Asbjørn played different kinds of Norwegian folk music for us, not really what we listen to normally, but very nice to broaden the horizon a bit!
Kaizers play at Kroa in Bø tonight!
