Kashmir

Kashmir is a Danish alternative rock band consisting of Kasper Eistrup (vocals and lead guitar), Mads Tunebjerg (bass), Asger Techau (drums), and Henrik Lindstrand (keyboards and guitar). In the spring of 1991, Eistrup, Tunebjerg and Techau formed a heavy blues band under the name “Nirvana” at Kastanievej Efterskole (a continuation school) in Frederiksberg, Denmark. Shortly after they started performing Thursday nights at Ordrup Gymnasium (a local high school). When the American band Nirvana started to gain success, they changed their name to “Kashmir”, after the Led Zeppelin song. In 2000, the band won six Danish Music Awards: ‘Best Danish Band’, ‘Best Danish Album’, ‘Best Danish Songwriter’, and ‘Best Danish Rock Album’ for The Good Life; and ‘Best Danish Producer’ and ‘Best Danish Music Video’ for “Mom in Love, Daddy in Space”.
