Katzenjammer are nothing if not distinctive. Formed at an Oslo music school in 2005, the four girls play a diverse blend of country, folk, blues, pop and rock. From Tennessee’s Bonnaroo to Australia’s Woodford Folk Festival, the quartet have enraptured tens-of-thousands with their genre-mixing, instrument-swapping and riotous shows.
Their 2008 debut, Le Pop, showed that they were as fun on record as live and 2011’s A Kiss Before You Go was a symphonic journey through the emotions, full of vigour and vocal harmonies. Throughout this all they have done things their own way.
Rockland is undoubtedly their most refined and accomplished effort so far. “We wanted to go back to the roots and be more stripped and not add all these symphonic things,” says Anne Marit. The moods ebb and flow throughout; from the bass-heavy and rapped ‘Oh My God’ to more serene and melody-led tracks like ‘My Own Tune’ and ‘Lady Grey’. Yet this is no bare-bones record. It is still unmistakably Katzenjammer; a more focused version of the adventure and unbounded excitement for which they are known.
Each member travelled across the world to write songs for Rockland, including separate visits to Nashville for Anne Marit and Marianne and to London for Solveig. A staggering total of 83 songs was the result, though this was reduced to the eleven which make up Rockland. With these they have managed to distil their essence at its purest. “I think it’s kind of even closer to what we want Katzenjammer to be because it’s directly from the source of the band,” says Solveig.

She's really captured the spirit of that kind of Irish music with the way her voice lilts.
World is better, because this video exists. Cheers from Slovakia
Wow this is actually one of the best versions I've ever heard of this song.

While in the merry month of May, now from me home I started Left, the girls of Tuam were nearly broken-hearted Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother Then off to reap the corn and leave where I was born Cut a stout, black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins A brand-new pair of brogues to rattle over the bogs And frighten all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin A-one, two, three, four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary Started by daylight next morning blithe and early Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from shrinking Thats the Paddy's cure when'er he's on for drinking To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin' They asked me was I hired and wages I required to lay Was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three, four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city So then I took a stroll, all among the quality Bundle it was stolen, in a neat locality Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin' 'Quiring after the rogue, said me Connaught brogue It wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah From there I got away, me spirits never falling Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing Captain at me roared, said that no room had he When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy Down among the pigs, did some hearty rigs I played some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it Blood began to boil, temper I was losing Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing "Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly Galway boys were by and saw I was a hobblin' With a "lo!" and "hurray!" they joined in the affray Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three four, five Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
Phrasing, tempo, emphasis...this is real music!
A brillant one-woman-show here. Sol Heilo has such talent and versatility as a musician.
Ah, the cleverness of youth. Full marks. Enjoyable performance displaying the combination of technology and old Ireland
What a great cover! I thought I knew all of them. But this is definitely one of the best.
Brilliant.

Beautiful performance
Oh, how can I not have know this so far! Katzenjammer and Irish folk is my most favourite music and this masterpiece is already 1 year old!
What great talents you have well done
Bloody hell... great job on a good folk song rendered well by Luke Kelly and the Dubliners previously. Much easier on the eye than Luke too. .. ;-) BTW, this song isn't - as some here mistakenly assume - a vacuous and sectarian "Up The RAH" dirge of the kind the Wolfe Tones churn out, but simply an account of an poor Irish person of the day heading to Dublin to emigrate, hence the reference to Liverpool . I comment as a Dubliner of many generations. Congrats on a great job! As an aside, the Dubliner's version was popular when I was a kid... I used to think that part of the chorus was "Whack yer hairy arse" and went about singing it. No wonder I turned out so balanced!
