Always thought the name (Norwegian) was some reference to Scandi/Viking colonies in Minnesota. Never heard about the board game

Nah, it's from a Danish board game they used to sell in the US. There was also a Norwegian TV show with that name, which probably confuses things. It's the same in both languages, although neither language uses the umlauts, as far as I can tell.

Re: their name and its meaning, mpls's trip shakespeare had a song on their 1990 album across the universe whose chorus was
Lonely when I hear the band
That used to play when we were looking for music
Lonely when I hear the band
Do you remember? Do you recall?
Remember when you held my hand
You used to say
'I love them so much'
Lonely when I hear the band
Do you remember. Do you recall.

And I always figured that was partly an elegy for huskers.
(Can't remember the damn song title rn)
