in 2000, and deriving their name thereof, the band originates from
Nuuk, and is arguably the most successful Greenlandic rock orchestra to date. Presently the band is located in Copenhagen, mostly due to logistical reasons. According to their web site the band labels its music "Rock from the Great White Pearl", referring to their home country.
To date they have released seven albums. Even though some of the album titles are in
Greenlandic, the songs' lyrics are in both Greenlandic and
English. The album ''M/S Kalaallit Nunaat'' is sung entirely in Greenlandic. Additionally, the 2004 album ''Tribute'' contains topical, pro-independence Greenlandic songs from the 1970s to the 1980s associated with the Home Rule Movement.
After several years of pause, Chilly Friday gave a comeback concert in Nuuk on September 4, 2015, celebrating the band's 15-year anniversary.
