Pligten Kalder

Pligten Kalder (Danish for "Duty Calls") is a Danish musical trio formed in 2007 by rock singer Johan Olsen, best known as the frontman of the popular Danish band Magtens Korridorer, and journalist and TV host Torben Steno. Saxophonist and clarinetist Peter Bech-Jessen subsequently joined as the third member. According to Steno, the project started as a joke, with songs mostly written on a special keyboard that Steno owns while Olsen handles most of the lyrics. Their first concert was at Huset i Magstraede in Copenhagen in 2007, and their self-titled debut EP followed later that year. Their debut full-length "Du Skulle Have Vaeret Der Igar!" was released in 2014, earning four out of six stars in GAFFA. Their music blends elements of rock, schlager, and what has been described as pub art and fake-jazz, all delivered with a tongue-in-cheek sensibility.
