Raga Rockers

Raga Rockers is a Norwegian rock band. The band was formed in 1982 in Oslo by former vocalist Michael Krohn (now a guitarist since he retired from singing March 17, 2025 due to COPD and asthma with Ivar Eidem replacing him in vocals), bassist Livio Aiello, guitarist Bruno Hovden and drummer Jan Arne Kristiansen. Raga Rocker's musical style has evolved throughout the years and is often characterized as melodic rock with dark and satirical lyrics. The band's current lineup comprises founding members Krohn, Aiello and Kristiansen, guitarists Eivind Staxsrud and Henning Sandsdalen, and keyboardist Arne Sæther. Raga Rockers is considered one of the "big four" Norwegian bands who popularized modern rock with Norwegian lyrics in the 1980s alongside Jokke & Valentinerne, DeLillos and DumDum Boys. The band has released twelve studio albums, four live albums and two compilation albums.
