About

Gasolin' were a Danish rock band from Christianshavn, Copenhagen, formed in 1969 by Kim Larsen, Franz Beckerlee and Wili Jønsson, with Søren Berlev joining as drummer in 1971. Between 1972 and their break-up in 1978 they were Denmark's most popular rock band, often compared to The Beatles in terms of cultural impact. Frontman Kim Larsen went on to a hugely successful solo career, and his 1983 album 'Midt om natten' remains the best-selling album in Danish history.
