## History

The band's first release was the album *Full åpning* in 2002. Their next album, *På vei til Harryland!*, came in 2007. The band's breakthrough came with *Råkk'n Råll Harry* reaching No. 11 on the Norwegian Albums Chart. Their biggest hit song is the 2011 single "[Møkkamann](/source/M%C3%B8kkamann)" from that album that peaked at number one in the [Norwegian Singles Chart](/source/Norwegian_Singles_Chart) and subsequently won "Hit of the Year 2011" at Spellemannprisen 2012.[1][2] based on votes from the general public. In 2011, the band entered the "Drømmelåta i Holmestrand" music competition, produced by [TV 2](/source/TV_2_(Norway)), with their song "Drømmeland". After winning the Spellemannprisen, "Møkkamann" topped the [VG-lista](/source/VG-lista), the official Norwegian Singles Chart. Plumbo appears at gatebil rudskogen every summer.

### "Møkkamann" controversy

On 14 January 2012, during the annual [Spellemannprisen](/source/Spellemannprisen) in Oslo, Plumbo gained some negative attention after lead singer Lars Erik Blokkhus accepted the prize for best song, for "[Møkkamann](/source/M%C3%B8kkamann)" (roughly translated as "Dirt man" or "Shit man"). He proceeded to make a remark, meant as a joke, to the dark-skinned hosts [Tshawe Baqwa](/source/Tshawe_Baqwa) and [Yosef Wolde-Mariam](/source/Yosef_Wolde-Mariam), members of the popular Norwegian duo [Madcon](/source/Madcon), saying that seeing them he thought the song got a new name; Mokkamann (literally Mocha man). After his remark, Blokkhus apologized for his comment.
