About
Gasolin' were a Danish rock band from Christianshavn, Copenhagen, formed by Kim Larsen, Franz Beckerlee, and Wili Jønsson in 1969. Their first drummer was the late Bjørn Uglebjerg. He was replaced by Søren Berlev in 1971. At their formation, the guitar playing of Franz Beckerlee was inspired by Jimi Hendrix and the vocals and lyrics of Larsen were inspired by Bob Dylan, while the rhythm playing of Jønsson and Berlev owed much to The Beatles. However, they would soon develop their own musical style. The pop sensibility of Kim Larsen, the artistic attitude of Franz Beckerlee and the musical competence of Wili Jønsson would prove to be a recipe for success. Gasolin's lyrics were generally written by the entire group, often with the assistance of their friend Mogens Mogensen.

Gasolin' est un groupe danois de rock fondé en 1969 à Christianshavn, un quartier de Copenhague. Il se compose à l'origine du chanteur Kim Larsen (da), du guitariste Franz Beckerlee (da), du bassiste Wili Jønsson (da) et du batteur Bjørn Uglebjerg (da). Uglebjerg est remplacé par Søren Berlev (da) avant la sortie du premier album du groupe, en 1971.
Sa popularité ne se dément pas au Danemark tout au long des années 1970, jusqu'à sa séparation en 1978. En revanche, Gasolin' ne parvient jamais à percer sur le marché international, malgré la parution de plusieurs albums avec des paroles en anglais.
