Briskeby is an electro-pop band from Larvik, Norway. The lead vocalist Lise Karlsnes is from Tønsberg. The other members of the band are Bård Helgland (bass) Bjørn Bergene (guitar) and Claus Larsen (drums).

According to one of the band members, one day Lise arrived and asked to join the then instrumental band. At first they were very unsure, but it soon turned out that her vocals matched their sound perfectly.

The bands name is derived from the neighborhood where their rehearsal room was located.
They released their debut album Jeans for Onassis i 2000 containing the big hit “Propaganda” and received international attention after they toured as supporting act for A-ha in 2000. They have won many norwegian awards with their music.

In 2003 when the band released their second album “Tonight, Captain?” the bands popularity was already slightly going downwards, and there were no new big hit-singles on the album to change this negative developement. The third album “Jumping on Cars” was released in 2005

    I'm listening to "Jeans For Onassis" right now. It's a wonderful debut album. I'm born just a few miles away from Larvik, so this is definitely my home ground. Took the liberty to edit the band info according to what I know about the setup.
