Kashmir (2)

Major league Danish indie rock band. Formed 1991 by schoolmates [a=Kasper Eistrup], [a=Mads Tunebjerg] and [a=Asger Engholm Techau] initially as a trio named Nirvana, playing heavy blues. As the US [a=Nirvana] grew in popularity, the band was aware that they had to change name. They settled on Kashmir, after a song by one of their favorite bands, [a=Led Zeppelin]. Kashmir finished second in the 1993 Danish Rock Championship (the winner that year was [a=Dizzy Mizz Lizzy]), and the attention on the band rose. In 1994 Kashmir got their first record deal, on the new-formed record label [l=Start], where their first album, Travelogue, was released. Later on, Kashmir signed a contract with Sony Denmark. In 2001 [a=Henrik Lindstrand] joined the band.
