About Me

somewhat pretentious & proud of it
Hi!
If you want to see us playing live, you’re about 19 years too late. Nyar-nyar :)
This is a band that was active around 1988-1989 with a slight relapse in 2000 for one song only (and missing half of the band members).
Forming the band, Heinz and Johan had recently disbanded Sixten Redlös , a most infamous punk band and were looking for new horizons. Jonas was a Sixten drummer from times long past and was interested in a band to play in. Joakim had recently seen the first incarnation of this band break up, which actually was what it was supposed to do, play for an extended summer and then break up, by agreement!
So we got together to see what we could musically and philosophically do. Our styles varied breathtakingly, much like a drunk trying to walk home, meandering from one end of the road to the other with no appearent course. Some tension between Johan and Joakim existed, but may well have been a creative strong point, a bit difficult to tell after all this time. It’s how I remember it :)
Being true to our musical and political beliefs was and maybe still is the most important thing. Ya, we’re a bit leftist :)
Updates could be forthcoming when I get my hands on a reel-to-reel player so that digital hijinx can ensue!
Peace and love!

Where in the world is Jonas B?

We seem to have lost track of our drummer. If you know where he is, give us a hollar!
