Kristian Singstad Pålshaugen (guitar), Eyvind Brox (keyboards) and Jon Karlsen (bass) joined the band collectively in 2004, while Eivind Henjum (keyboards) joined on a permanent basis in 2005, after first appearing as a stand-in when bass player Jon had an operation on his shoulder earlier the same year; Henjum originally being a bass player. As of January 2009 Lukas Kasha are in the process of making their yet untitled second album, expected to be released in the spring. The recordings took place in a studio belonging to Norwegian band The Margarets, on the island Giske on the west coast of Norway, during October-November 2008. The album will be mixed by Pelle Gunnerfeldt of Swedish band Fireside, also known as a producer for bands like The Hives, Moneybrother and Sahara Hotnights. On December 30, 2008, live video footage of two new songs was made available on YouTube, from a concert in Gjøvik. The two songs are called "Girl Named Ricky" and "Feel It", and are assumedly part of the material the band has recorded for their new album.
