Swampy swingin' rock & blues dude

About Me

When I was about 10 (in the late 60's) my father bought me my first guitar, an acoustic Landola from Finland (!!!???). I found out that's what I wanna do. Been in bands since I was a young teenager in the 70's. Bands like Scherzo, Doris Dist, Träskmännen, Eager Beaver, Lat-X, Distorted Nation and many, many more. I play the guitar but also do drums, keyboards, bass and vocals. Bass is main instrument at the time, not because I'm a bad guitarist (you know how it was, the one who was the best guitar player did that thing, the "other guy" grabbed the bass) - it's just there's too many guitarists around and I wanna ROCK. This has given me a chans to keep on with the music, play in bands and so on - and I will play for many more years. As Sir Realistic I do mainly solo stuff. Allways original stuff. I play all instruments, including programing the built in drum machine in my ZOOM porta studio and some sampling work when I record on my computer. Strange Crew is the band I'm in at the moment and we play covers of groups like Mountain, Cream, Stones and similar. We're a three piece band right now but we're thinking of expanding with a keyboard player or one more guitar, or maybe I'll pick up the guitar and we'll look around for a new bass player - we'll see what's coming up.
