About the event
Somewhere between the reflections of Odd Børretzen, Karpe, and the atmospheric guitars of indie rock, you’ll find Kniv & Gaffel.
The conceptual artist duo consists of actress, songwriter, and playwright Julia Sørensen and guitarist, songwriter, and composer Hans-Ole Sponberg Hansen. Since 2017, they have created poetic and political indie pop-rock about inner and outer world problems that goes straight to your dancing feet and your third eye.
With sharp, distinctive, and witty Norwegian lyrics, dual vocals and rap, wrapped in atmospheric guitars and synths, Kniv & Gaffel carries forward the tradition of political songwriting.
In addition to releasing several singles and music videos through Rohdos Records, the duo has made a strong mark on the Norwegian music scene through lively and entertaining performances. They deliver energetic and theatrical live experiences filled with humor, sharp lyrical delivery, and playful interaction with audiences.
They have previously performed at numerous festivals and club venues, and have appeared at Oslo Nye Teater and Haugesund Teater. In spring 2025, Kniv & Gaffel created a commissioned work for NRK, the Opera, and the Norwegian Sports Federation in connection with a climate conference.
