Kakkmaddafakka was formed in 2004 to play a one-off show, but with four hundred people attending and amazing public response, they decided to keep the band going and hang on to the strange name!

Their musical style is almost impossible to categorise, containing a mix of elements from funk, disco, broadway, reggae, rock and pop. Kakkmaddafakka are well known for their spectacular stage shows, where the band is often joined by a horn section and a team of backing singers/dancers, sometimes playing with up to thirteen people on stage.

Kakkmaddafakka have played over one hundred shows in Norway, including most of the largest festivals. More recently they have also made a name for themselves overseas, with festival shows at CMJ Music Marathon (US), Eurosonic (NL), Melt! (GER), NXNE (CAN), Montruex Jazz Festival (CH) and at the 2009 edition of Iceland Airwaves (ICE).

A new album is currently being recorded in Bergen and is planned for release in the spring of 2010.
