Tre Små Kinesere are a pop group based in Trondheim, Norway which, since their beginning in the 1990s, have defined their own acoustic style.
[1] Tre Små Kinesere was established in 1988, when the band recorded a track for the compilation album Den akustiske gitarliga.
After a number of concerts and favorable audience reaction in 1988 and 1989, the band was signed to the CBS/Sony label in June 1989.
They won the prize in the band category for their fourth album, Hjertemedisin, which had been released the previous year.
Risnes and Hegge completed some tour dates during the following summer with Truls Waagø as a stand-in, but the band officially broke up in February 2005.
