    I think all of the women (Turid Jørgensen, Solveig Heilo, Marianne Sveen og Anne Marit Bergheim ) in Katzenjammer can play mandolin. They play domra, mandolin, ukes, guitars, banjos, even a balalaika bass.



    This band is from Norway, and their first CD will be out in August 2009. Mandolin is a featured instrument, but they are NOT bluegrass. David Byrne (of Talking Heads fame) seems to be helping them break internationally.

    Some video clips:

    That contrabass balalaika with the Cheshire Cat graphics is the coolest instrument I've seen for a while -- and that groove they have going on in Ain't no thang is hot.

    I also got a kick out of their instruments page:

    Good find! These gals is ca-razy!!! I wholeheartedly agree with you Jim - that groove in "Ain't No Thang" is hot hot hot - a whole 'nother somethin' - and live, in a boat, recorded from - on shore? On board? Huh? Outstanding! (And standing up in a boat ...) Katzenjammer, eh? Pussycat Dolls have got nothing on them! WOW!!! This is the wildest, coolest, funnest group I've heard since ... oh yeah, Totally Gourdgeous.

    Apparently us Americans just missed them - they were at Bonnaroo last weekend, and that Mercury Lounge date was just this past Tuesday. They are flying in for a Fourth of July show at Milwaukee's Summerfest, then flying back to Norway. I'd like to have a word with their manager! Their CD is available online, if you can't wait for the international release.

    There's a group that comes around here once or twice a year, rockabilly quartet from Russia called "Red Elvises," and the bass player plays one of these balalaika basses. But I don't know anybody who plays a trumpet/violin ...

    Here are some pics of the Katzenjammers in action. Looks like they switch around their instruments a lot!

    You can download the CD, Le Pop, at amazon, as well as one free track from that CD.

    Caution: there are several artists with similar names at amazon, so make sure you hunt for Katzenjammer, not DJ Katzenjammer, The Katzenjammers, or Katzenjammer Kabaret -- although the latter, a Souxie-esque band from France, is pretty cool.

    Thanks for the tip! And it's true - there are Katzenjammers, and then there are Katzenjammers. We're talking about the quartet from Norway, not the piano-playing duo from England.

    BTW, on the studio version, the lead on "Ain't No Thang" is played on banjo, not mandolin - yet another reason I like the live version ...

    The trumpet violin or Stroh Violin doesn't get much use anymore (other than recording onto wax cylinders) but there are a couple Café members who own and loan them...

    They are Russians, but they are actually from L.A. I saw them on the Santa Monica 3rd Street Promenade back maybe 10-12 years ago.

    I've never seen them live, but it seems like they play a lot in Montana.

    Now there's a band! Maybe not flashy, but solid, in synch, with loads of talent ...

    Bumped into Pete & Maura Kennedy down here a couple of years ago - just being tourists. Really nice people, and a great duo.

    Not finding any photos of Lee with mandolin, but here's an interesting one from a few years ago, a band shot with someone else on mandolin, someone well known in these parts ...

    Don't see too many mandolin players fingerpicking their instruments like Nanci's mandolin player. Very smooth performance of that song! Thanks for sharing!
