Apelsin to Jos


A Swedish manufacturer of juice, Brämhults, launched an advertising campaign in November 2009 called "Apelsin to Jos", which means literally "Orange to Juice" in Swedish. The slogan is a pun, and the campaign consists of the stunt of sending the band to a Nigerian town called Jos.[3]


Discography


The band released 4 LPs and several CDs.

Note that Estonian LPs produced during Soviet rule were customarily credited in parallel in Estonian and in Russian.
