Det Skandaløse Orkester ‎– No Har De Laget Skandale Igjen! (2014, CD, Norway)

  
Det Skandaløse Orkester (The Scandalous Orchestra), is a satirical music group from Bergen, Norway. Since 2011 they have garnered a reputation for being an exceptional live band with a lot of energy, humour and antics. They have played on big festivals like nattjazz, humorfest, Zappa Union.
The album title on their debut album “No Har De Laget Skandale Igjen!” is based on a typical catchphrase in the Norwegian media and tabloids.
Their main influence is the music of Frank Zappa, something which becomes clear when you hear this exotic blend of musical madness and inappropriate blending of genres. Other important references are Yes, Pink Floyd and music from cartoons, all of which reveals the ambitions of the music itself and the level of musicianship within the band.
