Tøsedrengene

Popular Danish reggae-pop group founded by Klaus Kjellerup and Henrik Stanley Møller in 1978 with the intention to create the first reggae songs with Danish lyrics. Release debut in 1979: ... Det Går Fremad!. In 1981 - after the initial succes of the second album Tiden Står Stille - the group was joined by two female singers Anne Dorte Michelsen and Gitte Naur. In 1982 Naur was replaced by Maria Bramsen and the group had found its most successful line-up. The following two albums, 3 (1982) and Alle Vore Håb (1983), both generated hits and sold well.
In the fall of 1983 Kjellerup left the group, and he was first replaced by René Szczyrbak and later by Lars Danielsson. Tøsedrengene released two more albums, the equally successful Tiden Er Klog (1984) and the less successful I Sikre Hænder, before splitting up in 1985. Kjellerup formed Danser med Drenge and was later joined in that band by Stanley and Sivertsen. The remaining band members formed The Lejrbåls who split up after only one unsuccessful album and transformed into the much more successful pop band Ray Dee Ohh, while Anne Dorte Michelsen began her solo career.
