1. Korean hip-hop/pop group
2. Norwegian rock band
1. BIGBANG (빅뱅) is a three-piece Hip-Hop/R&B group from Seoul, South Korea. The group was created by YG Entertainment, through a long audition process which aired on TV as a 10 episode documentary. They made their debut at the YG Family 10th Anniversary Concert on August 19th, 2006.
BIGBANG has been labelled as the Revolutionary Group of Korean Music Wave for their unique urban-originated music and fashion style. The members' involvement in composing and producing their own music, most notably G-Dragon's, has earned them respect and praise from music industry experts.
During their first year, BIGBANG was criticized for being "too short" and "too ugly" for an idol group. Sales from their early hip-hop singles and first studio album BigBang Vol. 1 were disappointing. The group's turning point came with their hit song Lies, which stayed at number one on Korean charts for a record-breaking seven consecutive weeks. Their follow up releases, Hot Issue and Stand Up, furthered their success, spawning hits such as Last Farewell and Haru Haru.
From 2007 to 2008, BIGBANG received many awards, including "Best Male Group", "Song of the Year", "Artist of the Year", and the Grand Award at the Seoul Music Awards.
From 2009 to 2010, BIGBANG expanded their endeavors to Japan, and were voted "the Korean group that Japanese fans wish to see the most". They became the first foreign group awarded to receive the "Best Newcomer" award from the Japan Cable Broadcasting Station and "Best New Artist" at MTV Japan. Amidst their Japanese group promotions, the members branched out to do solo activities. Taeyang, G-Dragon, and Seungri have released solo albums. G-Dragon and T.O.P also collaborated on an album under the sub-unit GD & TOP. Seungri and Daesung have acted in both TV dramas and musicals. T.O.P became a highly acclaimed film / TV drama star. Daesung hosted many of Korea's most popular variety TV shows.
After nearly a two-year hiatus in Korea, BIGBANG reunited in 2011 with their successful album Tonight. However, promotions were cut short when multiple members encountered legal issues. In November 2011, representing the Asia-Pacific region, BIGBANG emerged as the inaugural "Best Worldwide Act" winner at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards. This was the first time in six months where all five members were seen together. In 2012, Big Bang released their 5th Mini Album Alive in Korea and Japan. Later they embarked on their first ever World Tour visiting 25 cities in 16 countries.
Fans of BIGBANG are known as VIPs. Their official light stick is a signature yellow crown, which reflects BIGBANG's title as the Kings.

2. BigBang is a Norwegian rock band led by frontman Øystein Greni. Over several years the band lineup has altered several times while remaining a trio, with Greni remaining the one constant member. Though the band name spelling is inconsistent, it is usually styled as BigBang.
BigBang were formed in 1992 by Øystein Greni, Erik Tresselt and Christer Engen. Throughout the years the band's line-up has changed several times. As of 2007 it consists of Øystein Greni, Olaf Olsen (who joined in 1999) and Lasse Weeden. Øystein Greni is the only person who has always been a member of the band, and he is also commonly seen as the band's front figure, as he writes almost all the songs as well as being the lead vocalist and guitarist. Greni has been in much dispute by some of the former members of the band, saying that he is a musical tyrant with a singular path and anyone who doesn't follow the same road he does, he simply fires.
The band hit it big with the song Girl In Oslo and in this song and most of BigBangs later material the prominent feature is lyrics with directly translated norwegian figures of speech and powerful imagery. A staple of a BigBang song is the catchy guitar and bass riff along with the metaphorically compact lyrics.
Dubbed Norway’s Greatest Live Band, BigBang are known for their thrilling performances and have been a major force in the Norwegian music scene for over a decade. In 2007, the band moved to California to focus on the American market. They toured the country, playing intimate gigs and promoting their American début From Acid to Zen, a compilation of songs from previously released albums.
After their 2013 album The Oslo Bowl, Øystein Greni began to work on a solo project for several years. His album Pop Noir was released on 24 March 2017, with the Norwegian band suggesting on their Facebook page that it featured a collaboration with 'G-Dragon on "You Got IT"!' (probably as a joke).
Members:
Øystein Greni (Guitar, vocals)
Olaf Olsen (Drums, percussion and backing vocals)
Nikolai Eilertsen (Bass, backing vocals)

oh is that you
may I talk to the prettiest girl in Oslo
and is that you
I call you everyday once or twice
you don't say much
but you are very nice
and I'm doing fine
after nine
I'm doing fine
won't you meet me by the station
dressing up for the prettiest girl in Oslo
oh is that you
dressing up for the prettiest girl in Oslo
oh is that you
shoes and pants and shirts of every kind
nothing between you and calvin klein
I'm doing fine
won't you meet me by the station
after nine
I'm doing fine
won't you meet me by the station
can I dance with the prettiest girl in Oslo
oh is that you
may I dance with the prettiest girl in Oslo

it's not how long you make it
but how you make it long
I'm doing fine

"Girl in Oslo" is a song by the K-Pop group BigBang, which paints a picture of a man who is smitten with the prettiest girl in Oslo. The singer of the song repeatedly asks for the opportunity to talk and dance with the girl, mentioning how he calls her frequently, dresses up for her, and enjoys spending time with her. Through the repetitive "after nine" refrain, it seems that the man is making plans to meet up with the girl, suggesting a developing romantic relationship over the course of the song.
The lyrics themselves are somewhat simple, with a focus on straightforward expressions of infatuation or courtship. The songwriter seems to be emphasizing the importance of simply being in the moment with the girl, as evidenced by the lyrics "it's not how long you make it, but how you make it long" and "nothing between you and Calvin Klein" - indicating that the man is more interested in enjoying the time they spend together than trying to impress her with material possessions.
Interestingly, the song's title would suggest that the girl in question is from Oslo, Norway - a location that the band has no real connection to. However, fan theories have suggested that the song was actually inspired by a fan meeting that the group held in Oslo, where they met a particularly beautiful fan who left a lasting impression.

This band was so underrated, simply cause they were never advertised in North America. Their sound is so good and went heavily unnoticed. Only found out about them cause of an episode of Lilyhammer
@sortebill
One of Norways many musical treasures. We have a lot more bands that play really solid rock music.
@pilotintraining2391
@p a s Have any suggestions for some bands in your country ? I love BigBang and as a Canadian I actually like Norwegian culture and history so I’m up for anything new to me :)
@sortebill
@Pilot in Training23 Check out Motorpsycho, Spidergawd, WE (not the asian boyband), Gluecifer, Turbonegro, Kåre and the Cavemen (Euroboys), Thulsa Doom, Brut Boogaloo, El doom and the born electric.. For a start :D
@starvid1310
@pilotintraining2391 you should visit this Norwegian town Lillehammer😉 It`ll be a music festival there 19.08.23 where the band Bigbang is also participating.
@pilotintraining2391
@@starvid1310I wish I read this before. In canada we dont get media coverage on certain things so I had no idea they were currently performing still. Thank you for the update !
@HannahfromAtlanta
I love this so much. Well done. Thank you.

I love this song. Max volume
@ChollaRanch
It's difficult to discover anything relating to this fine band via YouTube or Google, at least from here in the USA. (The band's varying spellings of their name make it easily confused with other, similar bands' names.) There's a MUCH wider market for Øystein Greni's great music, certainly, were it not so frickin' hard to find!!!
