Skadedyr is undoubtedly one of the freshest bands to have emerged from the Norwegian music scene in recent years. Twelve exceptionally talented musicians have joined forces to create an uncompromising band that sounds like none other.

The musicians in Skadedyr pack a lot into their schedule. Between them, they are involved with Broen, Susanna & Jenny Hval, Muskus, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra and only the birds know what else, and all of this diversity shines through in Skadedyr. With an instrumental range that consists of brass sections, keyboards, guitars, two drummers, vocals, strings plus accordion, Skadedyr creates a varied sound that is often temperamental and energetic, but can also paddle into calmer waters. In other words, a concert with Skadedyr is truely an eventful happening where genres float and collide.

Skadedyr have earned themselves a well deserved reputation as an exceptional live band. It's not without reason!
