Lame Ducks is one of the most talented bands to hit the Norwegian punk scene in a long time. The band plays extroverted music in the ska-punk genre. Catchy tunes with a punch is the trademark of Lame Ducks. The band started out back in 1996. The band has put their emphasis on being a smashing live band, something they proved when they hit the stage at by:Larm (equivalent to South by South West in the US and In the City in the UK) in Tromso, Norway, in 2001. They played together with Norwegian bands Farout Fishing and Drunk, and both the media and the crowd enjoyed themselves at the spectacular show Lame Ducks put on. In May 2001 the band headed out to tour with UK ska-punk act SPUNGE. On their Norwegian leg of the tour, the band did 4 shows with Spunge, and this ended up as being their break thru in Norway. In May/June 2002 the band did their first two tours in Europe. They played 15 gigs in Germany and Switzerland. In the summer of 2002 they played at Arvika festival in Sweden – with bands like Amulet, Bombshell Rocks and Division of Laura Lee. And their newly released album, “.. are you lame or something?” got highly rated in Norway’s most selling paper. Their new album “…are you lame or something?” came out in February this year and got top reviews from the press. Oppdatert av Kari Westergaard
