Joined by Helge Risa, Øyvind Storesund, Terge Vinterstøen, and Rune Solheim their signature ‘kaizerrock’ sound eventually led to a record deal with Scandinavian label Broiler Farm, and the band released Ompa Til du Dør in 2001, an album that won the Norwegian Grammy and went on to become the highest-selling rock debut ever issued in the Norwegian language. Evig Pint followed in 2003, resulting in numerous awards and even more impressive record sales than its predecessor.
The Kaizers Orchestra performed at the 46664 Arctic concert in Tromsø, Norway in 2005.
