Artist: Gasolin
Formed 1969 by [a=Kim Larsen], [a=Franz Beckerlee] and [a=Wili Jønsson]. Shortly after, [a=Bjørn Uglebjerg] joined. He was replaced by [a=Søren Berlev] in 1971. Their first single, "Silky Sally", was in English, and did not become a hit - but their self-titled Danish debut album however became a modest success. Gasolin' had their prime time from 1972 to 1978, and released eight studio albums and two live albums in that period, plus two English versions of their 3rd and 5th studio albums. The band became renowned in Scandinavia during these years, especially among the Danish youth that could relate to the lyrics.
Their major league commercial breakthrough came with the album "Gas 5" in 1975, and their 1976 "Live Sådan" album is listed on the official Danish national cultural treasure list, "Kulturkanonen". The same year, Gasolin' failed to break through in the USA, after releasing an English version of the record "Gas 5". This and internal conflicts were the main reason for their split-up in 1978. Keyboardist [a=Klaus Agerschou] often appeared with the band in concert.
Singer Kim Larsen simultaneously with Gasolin' played with his sidekicks [a=Sylvester's Jukebox] and [a=Starfuckers (2)], and released a solo album in 1973. Post-Gasolin' he has had a solo career just as successful as that of Gasolin'. Franz Beckerlee, who was a jazz saxophonist in the '60s, e.g. with [a=The Contemporary Jazz Quartet], released one solo album post-Gasolin' but also worked with writing and painting. Berlev and Jønsson have played with various rock bands.
The Gasolin' legacy in Denmark cannot be overestimated. The band has been portrayed in documentaries, their music has been performed as musicals several times (a.o. by Dr. Dante,
[r=1919270]) and in tribute albums by other artists ([r=1940263]). Several cover bands perform their music; [a667866]-lead singer [a=Johan Olsen] used to sing in one. In 2015, an all-female band playing their music named themselves [a6145523].
