Brothers is a Norwegian funk rock band that had an international #1 in 1993 with their cover of AC/DC's hit song, "Back in Black".
The group is made up of twin brothers, Kehinde and Taiwo Karlsen. They hail from Velelstad in Norway.[1] During their career, they have collaborated with Olga-Marie Mikalsen. [2] The brothers recorded their version of the classic AC/DC single, "Back in Black" which brought them overnight success. It became one of the top-selling singles in Norway for 1993.[3]
Career
In 1994, they released their album, Two for the Price of One in 1994. It contained songs such as "Purple Haze", "I Love Rock And Roll", and "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Ha-A-A".[4][5]
According to a 2018 article on Brønnøysunds Avis (a local newspaper in Brønnøysund Norway), the brothers performed a 45-minute set on stage. Unfortunately, the audience wasn't that receptive.[6]
