About Me

Currently playing in:

HappyPill:

A rock band performing original music. Here I play bass and sing backing vocals. The band was founded in early 2007 and has released it..s first single "This Year".
The summer of 2008 was great! - Opened up for KISS at Stockholm Stadion(!), played Sweden Rock, went to England and played a couple of festivals in Sweden.
The band is currently recording new material.
See http://www.myspace.com/happypillmusic for songs and info.

Who Fighters:

A tribute-band to the allmighty Foo Fighters. Here I play guitar and sing backing vocals. The band started up in late 2007 and have had some great shows in 2008.
The band will continue to deliver good shows this spring and summer in Stockholm, Sälen, Åre and the west coast of Sweden!
See http://www.whofighters.se for info, pictures and music.

Oband:

A rock and country band with a touch of old Rolling Stones performing original music with a lot of harmony vocals and horns! Here I play guitar, anything with keys and sing backing vocals. The band released the record "Holymo!" in 2007 and has played a great number of shows in and nearby Stockholm. After a year-long break the band is now alive and kickin.., and will be seen in clubs around Stockholm and Liverpool this spring and summer.

Marmalade Souls:

Sad to say, but the band just called it a quits...
New material has been recorded and will hopefully/probably be released with a different band name.
A 60s-sounding pop band performing original music with a lot of harmony vocals. Here I play guitar, piano, mellotron and sing. Marmalade Souls released the debut album "In Stereo" in 2007 and has been topping the chart "P4-toppen Jämtland" for many weeks during 2008 with "Yeah Yeah!". During 2008 the band could be seen in Sweden and England.
The band is currently recording new material.
See http://www.myspace.com/marmaladesouls for songs and info.
Once or twice a year I..m also playing guitar in the country band Hang Ém High Bonanza Boys , guitar or bass with singer/songwriter Jakob Sjöbom and keyboards or guitar in the hair metal band Sacrifice .

Influences:

  • In general:
    • All kinds of music ...but I have a thing for hair metal from the 80:s like Bon Jovi & Europe, swedish guitar pop from the early 90:s like Popsicle & Wannadies and the TOTO albums from the late 70:s and early 80:s when they still were hungry.
  • Guitar-wise:
    • Kee, Richie (Sambora that is. Of course...), Jimi, Eddie, Norum, Angus, Lukather, The Edge and of course - my fellow guitarists in the bands I play in. I lift my hat of to Bosse Lindberg of Hoven Droven...
  • Bass-wise:
    • One could write DLK, Brainpool, Atomic Swing, Hardy Nilsson, Popsicle, Beatles & U2 here, and of course my fellow bassmen: Simon Algesten & the incredible Per Björling whom I..ve been stealing chops from since the dawn of day... Thanks old friend!!
    Sounds Like:
  • Guitar-wise: Keith Scott meets Mike Campbell & Ritchie Sambora with a touch of country.
  • Bass-wise: I guess Arvid Lind of Popsicle wouldn..t be too far from the truth.
  • Vocal-wise: Have no idea, but I sure would like to sound like Richie Sambora...

    • Type of Label: Indie
