Description
Oslo group started in 1979 by Helge Gaarder (vocals) and Erik Aasheim (guitar) under the name Dårlig Karma. They soon took the name Kjøtt , and by the spring of 1979 the line-up was completed with Michael Krohn (drums, vocals), Per Kristian Tro (bass) and Jøran Rudi (guitar). The name Kjøtt came from the song "3000 flies" which is about red meat. Then they dropped the red to avoid being associated with Rødt Kor etc. The band believed they played music for the body instead of the head, which is why the name Meat was appropriate good. Around 1980, Meat was among the leading punk bands in Norway, despite the fact that no one in the band had a distinct punk image. Their only LP Op. , came out in 1981. With Op. there was a change in Kjøtt 's musical expression and sound, it became more experimental, more chaotic, and Gaarder emerged as the main writer and songwriter. Only "(Jeg gleder meg til) År 2000" was a pure Krohn composition. The record has only been available on vinyl in 1981, and has never been reprinted. Until now.
