Once in a while you get bored. Perhaps
you then go out for a drink or two. Perhaps you even end up completely
shit-faced. And here is where you might form a band. It’s quite
easy, when you’re lying there passed out on the dance floor, a couple
of merciful souls are bound to pick you up and carry you home. This
is when you might ask these merciful souls whether they would want
to play in your band. The souls will most likely tell you that of
course they would like to, but they’ve got a lot on with their other
bands at the time. This is when you pull out the ace from your sleeve
and tell them that you’ve got a record deal and you’ve got yourself
a band!.
Now, what might this band be playing then?
Well, when you take one lead singer, who as a former swimmer, has
the lung capacity to wail your ears to the other side of the Atlantic
ocean, a bass player who has a past as a basketball player playing
along with famous Swedish hip-hop acts, a guitarist with a past
as a hockeyplayer alongside Swedish all-stars like Sebastian Wik,
a trumpet player who used to enjoy beating the crap out of her,
now late, grandmother in badminton (may the lord have mercy on her
soul), a guitar and trombone player taken straight out of the defence
of the football team Lokomotiv Neger, a skateboarding organist with
constantly broken hands, ribs and wrists and a drummer who has no
connection with sports at all it ends up sounding more or less like
Hefner running into a high-pitched Morrissey on the jogging course.
But you must not be led to think that this
energy package has only received its glory through deeds connected
to sport. These fine youngsters are already something of veterans
on the underground pop scene of Stockholm. Emerging from groups
like, GHB, The Crew, Bristol Ltd., The Outbreak, Regor, The Fermats,
The Protection Rooms, Gadfic Moore, The Shattered Charlies, Fabulous
Combo, Mornel, The Cuff and Jaap Stam this is something of an underground
supergroup. So get into your best party frock and allow your dancing
body to fall into the depths of Stockholm’s finest ntilounge.
