The eternally uncool
This great pic appeared in a Crime Club feature in 'Fjordingen' - a west Norwegian local paper.

The article was ok, stating we might actually be THE ETARNALLY UNCOOL, still dressing down and gettin' dirty in the name of Rock'n'Roll.
And guess what?

They're damn rite :)

Crime Club tune on comp. CD from HitMe!

2009-12-07T15:46:00.004+01:00

That's rite - a rough recording of "Bless Me" was recently released on the excellent Oslo label HitMe! Records. It's an unfinished kinda first sketch cut of the tune, but the window of releasing opportunity was closing, so we just went for it.

The compilation is called "Rock Till We Stinks" (don't ask), and - besides yours truly - contains merry melodies from Amper, Goldcrush, Sülk, Fant, Kongefamilien, Pink Dirt, Stinky Fingers, Feilfødt, The Replaceable Heads, Prikkedød, Borderline Bitches and (the amazingly cool'n sleazy) Gatecrashers.

So run along, Rocker - grab a copy from the HitMe! Records online store (or selected ground based Rock dealers) and feast yer greys upon the sound of Crime Club (as well as 12 other great Oslo bands). Rock!

Website update

2009-09-10T16:32:00.006+02:00

Only time stands in the way for collecting threads, posts and images from all over the goddamn net and publish it here. So keep checkin' in every now and then for updates and - eventually - goodies!

Oslo Pønkråkk Festival @ Elm Street, Oslo (January 30th 2009)

2009-02-14T17:44:00.019+01:00

Celebrating 15 years of Oslo Pønkråkk Festival

2009-01-11T18:07:00.009+01:00

Kickin' it in style onstage at Elm Street, Oslo, we'll join the first of a series of gigs designed to celebrate 15 years of relentless booking, arranging and yelling at assholes who doesn't do their jobs. Mr. OPF himself, O. B. Hammer, finally gets to fill his dirty pants with the glorious chime of Punk Rock coinage, and we get to dip our egos in a cheering crowd of likeminded creetins. A win-win situation if we've ever seen one. Anyways - the shit comes down on Friday January 30th, so get goin'!

So whuzzup with the Club these days, huh?

2009-01-08T13:59:00.001+01:00

Well - after the Electric Frankenstein gig at Funhouse (fun awright, but somewhat lacking on the audio side), your favourite Club has decided to dive back down in the basement and concentrate on makin' some more of the good shit. As in tunes. The plan now is to get our lazy selves in to a recording studio, and thus accomplish total world domination somewhere in close future.

This has been a Rock'n'Roll Radio broadcast. Stay tuned for more Rock'n'Roll.

..and here we go again!

2008-12-04T18:35:00.001+01:00

Right-oh! It's time to pour yourself into your tightest pair o'pants, stick on your sneakers and crank the volume all the way up to eleven - your favorite bunch of criminals will appear onstage down at Elm Street again! On Saturday May 10th we'll be supporting the awesome Overhead, Norway's by far most active and popular Motorhead coverband, as they record a live album over the course of two nights at their favorite venue. Friday's support act will be the Alice Cooper coverband Dead Babies, fronted by non less than Mr. Bjørn Müller outta legendary Backstreet Girls. So stick the fuckin' el-key-oh in the fuckin' el-ignition-oh and experience Rock'n'Roll history in the making!

Celebrate Halloween with Crime Club and Electric Frankenstein!

2008-10-03T17:23:00.001+02:00

On october 31st - Halloween itself - we'll be partying with mayhaps the most Halloweenesque bands around; Electric Frankenstein, outta New Jersey. EF is bringing with'em Gothenburg rock heroes Pistol Mob, and the bunch of us will be doin' Funhouse in Oslo together. So pull that finger out from wherever you keep it during weekdays and pick up for some tickets. Funhouse is not a frightingly big venue, and will propably fill up quite nicely for this remarkable event. See ya'll there - and remember: It's HALLOWEEN! Appear accordingly!

Club history

2008-09-05T12:11:00.005+02:00

The Crime Club is a nasty bunch of Rock’n’Roll dealers hailing to the great city of Oslo, Norway. The participating club members are well known criminals with past and present runtime from legendary Norwegian bands such as Backstreet Girls, Sideburn Satan, The Beat Tornados, Superkings and Fake Females, now joining forces to bring the message of NO COMPROMISING GENUINE ROCK’N’ROLL out to the Norwegian people. The gang has been operating together since 2005.

Crime Club does Last Train with Nine Pound Hammer!

2008-04-25T16:51:00.002+02:00

Yer damn right, Rockers! Add another amazing night to the calendar, 'cuz the fabulous Nine Pound Hammer is a-headin' back to Oslo Rock City! And for the second time in a row they get their well deserved onstage support from your favorite Crime Club. The date to put down is June 12th, and as far as we know the tickets are on sale over at the Last Train bar. This is a small venue, so hurry yer lazy asses!

Homage to Aussie legends

2008-02-04T16:58:00.006+01:00

Barkin' away at a pretty decent version of one of the toughest tunes in Punk Rock history - Savage by legendary Aussies Fun Things. Here at Elm Street in Oslo during Klubbøya 2007. Hit it!

Howdy, Fræxta' freaks - we be them Crime Club folks from the city

2008-01-10T05:12:00.001+01:00

Finally we get to stir things up in the carboard town of Fredrikstad, just a fairly masculine stone throw outta Oslo. Leanin' on the Swedish fence, they boast the suckling of some of Norways dearest Rock'n'Roll heroes and claims to have a soccer team amongst the great ones. This Friday they'll learn what The Crime Club is all about and life by the border will never be the same. Thanx a bunch to The Crypt - Fredrikstad's own Rock Club - for lettin' us on their stage (currently situated at Dean Bar on the docks). Lookout, longballs - we be comin' to Rock'ya :)
