Larz-Kristerz is a revered Swedish dansband, a group whose musical style embraces the traditional "dance band" genre in Sweden that is especially designed for ballroom dancing. They hail from Älvdalen and were formed in 2001, swiftly gaining a reputation for their ability to infuse classic and contemporary tunes with an infectious dance-ready beat. Their sound is characteristically upbeat, often featuring the prominent use of guitars, bass, keyboards, and drums, catering to audiences fond of dancing to live music.

The band enjoyed a significant breakthrough in popularity following their victory in the televised competition "Dansbandskampen" in 2008. Since then, Larz-Kristerz has produced a number of successful albums and singles, notable for their charming nods to the nostalgia of dance music while staying fresh and relevant with modern twists. Among their recent releases are "Koppången," a tender melody with traditional flair, and "Lite röd om mulen," showcasing their versatile approach to the genre. Not afraid to have a bit of fun, they've also put out tracks like "Carina (J.O.X Remix)" and "Det måste gå att dansa till (DJ Grillvante Remix)," which reimagine their sound for newer audiences. Pieces such as "En riktig Volvo EPA" and "Här kommer Mårtensson" solidify their appeal, grounded in a distinctly Swedish cultural milieu, yet universally enjoyable for anyone with a love for rhythm and dance. Larz-Kristerz remains a staple in the Scandinavian music scene, bringing joy and movement to their legion of fans across dance halls and beyond.
