About Me

Get this video and more at MySpace.com
We come from Malmoe, Sweden.
Founders of the band: Marcus Hansson and Andreas Axelson.
Andy and Marcus has been writing music together for almost 15 years. The first band founded was 300 BAUD. It was simplistic, poppy, electronic music without guitars.
Marcus had also a band called subZero that was a bit more black and sorrowful. The lyrics were in english and subZero contributed to a number of swedish compilation records.
Andy and his friend started a band that they called Tin-Tin's Soldater (The soldiers of Tintin).
In the late 90's 300 BAUD became the embryo to quelles paroles featuring Jonna Dansk.
Andy and Marcus teamed up with Eddie Bengtsson for a short while in Eddies band This Fish Needs a Bike (other bands: SPOCK, Sista mannen pÃ¥ jorden) but left pretty soon again to focus 100% on our own compositions.
In 2003, after Jonna had left the band, Magnus came to be our new leadsinger. Leslie were hooked up on guitar. Now the lyrics were in english and we changed the bands name to quelles paroles. After a few years, Leslie left the band, and we are now a 3-piece-band.
After signing a recorddeal with Electric Fantastic Sound in 2006 things are starting to happen for us.
Besides the releases on Electric Fantastic Sound we've been participating on some compilations released in Sweden aside bands like Scotch, Trans-X and Vive la FÃªte.
Remember! We are always looking for gigs just about everywhere! Team up with us! =)
