The Lejrbåls was a Danish pop ensemble that operated between 1986 and 1987, consisting of former musicians from Tøsedrengene and Halberg Larsen. The group featured vocalist Maria Bramsen, guitarists Michael Bruun and Poul Halberg, bassist Jette Schandorf, keyboard players Henrik Stanley Møller and Aage Hagen, along with drummer Jan Sivertsen.
In 1987, they issued a single album titled The Lejrbåls. Despite receiving favorable critiques for their live shows, the album did not achieve commercial success, reaching sales of only 10,000 copies—much lower compared to the sales figures from their earlier bands.
Following this period, some members became part of the acclaimed group Ray Dee Ohh, which included a new version of the Lejrbåls song "Elskes af dig" on their first album.
The band's name is a blend of English and Danish elements; "lejrbål" translates to "campfire" in Danish. This name emerged from a misunderstanding during discussions when the intended name was "The Reliables."
