The National Bank is a Norwegian rock/pop band, whose debut album was released in Norway in 2004 and featured the hit song "Tolerate". Consisting of musicians already well-known in their native country, from such bands as Jaga Jazzist, Susanna & The Magical Orchestra, In The Country and Bigbang, and featuring the accomplished singer-songwriter Thomas Dybdahl on vocals, The National Bank was immediately labeled a "supergroup" in the vein of Cream and Emerson, Lake and Palmer upon their arrival on the music scene.

Konserten deres på fredag var fantastisk! Tusen takk for at dere gjorde konsertopplevelsen min fullkommen. Det var virkelig en opplevelse både å høre og se på dere. Må også få sagt at lysshowet virkelig var flott, det er så herlig å se at noen gjør litt ekstra ut av det! Tusen, tusen takk!

Hi National Bank,
we enjoyed your concert at cologne last thursday..

Graeat combination of nice sounds embedded in a more traditional singr-songwriter context..

and some jaga like 7/8 and 5/4 songs,
with odd meters you could hardly notice because of the nice melodies above..

All the best to you.

"Your turn in ”pick up sticks”
Easy come easy goes" er det fineste på heile skiva. Tror det har blitt en grop akkurat der, fordi det er hørt så mange ganger.

Knallbra konsert i Hamburg på mandag!
Sjelden opplevd en konsert så full av energi og kreativitet fra første til siste sekund! Respekt!
Var kjempegøy å se og høre på dere!
