Lame Ducks - 30år // Vaterland

Lame Ducks - 30 years! Support: TBA Saturday 5 December 20:00 // 275.- + fees // 20+ ---------------------------- Lame Ducks are celebrating 30 years! Many consider Lame Ducks to be Norway’s first ska-punk band. Since forming in 1996, they have drawn clear inspiration from bands such as Mad Caddies, Link 80, Common Rider, Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish. On 5 December, the band celebrates three decades of ska-punk at Vaterland in Oslo.

The band made waves on the Norwegian punk scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s. After a successful performance at By:Larm in 2001, they signed a record deal with the company that would become the legendary Fucking North Pole Records. Over the next four years, they released three albums to excellent reviews and toured much of Europe several times. After a UK tour connected with the “Duck Season” album, the band went into an “indefinite hiatus” that lasted from 2005 to 2009. During that period, some members continued under the name The Troikas.

Since their comeback in 2009, Lame Ducks have played occasional, carefully selected festival and club shows, to the great enthusiasm of old fans and new followers alike. Now, 30 years are being squeezed into one night at Vaterland. Expect some old hits, newer classics, perhaps a few rarities, ska, punk, horns and a refreshing band that still plays faster than its age would suggest.
