History

In the spring of 1991, Eistrup, Tunebjerg and Techau formed a heavy blues
band under the name "Nirvana" at Kastanievejens Efterskole (a boarding
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 1993, they finished second in "DM i Rock", a national amateur concert
contest, behind Dizzy Mizz Lizzy and subsequently became popular in
Denmark.[citation needed]

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". [1]

In 2001, Lindstrand joined the band's lineup.

In 2004, the band won four Danish Music Awards for 'Best Danish Band',
'Best Danish Rock Album' for Zitilites, 'Best Danish Music Video' for "Rocket
Brothers" and 'Best Album Cover' for Zitilites. [1]

Their latest album No Balance Palace (2005) features Lou Reed reciting a
poem by Eistrup on "Black Building" and David Bowie who sings a duet with
Eistrup on "The Cynic". Furthermore the album was produced by Tony
Visconti.
