The Lejrbåls were a Danish pop band that existed in 1986–87. Consisting of former members of Tøsedrengene and , the group comprised vocalist Maria Bramsen, guitarists and , on bass, and on keyboards and Jan Sivertsen on drums.
During their short career, the band released one album, the self-titled , in 1987. Despite initially getting favourable reviews for their live shows,[1] the album was not well received and sold 10,000 copies,[2] well below the numbers attained by the members' previous bands.
Many of the Lejrbåls members would later continue in the highly successful group Ray Dee Ohh, who also re-recorded the Lejrbåls song "Elskes af dig" for their debut album.[3]
Their name is a nonsensical mix of English and Danish, "lejrbål" meaning "campfire" in Danish. The curious name emerged during a discussion to decide the name of the band; the name "The Reliables" was suggested and misheard as "The Lejrbåls" in the flurry of discussion.[4]
