  • Bio

    We ARE personally managing this space!.... We started this band in 1990, when we all of a sudden fell in love with the more dramatic old folk music of Sweden. A period of trial and error led to our first recording in 1993, and the setup we have today. The music has evolved from pure folk to something radically different, incorporating elements from almost every musical genre we listen to. It's quite a stew now...... 5 releases to date:.... "Garmarna", in ´93,.. "Vittrad", in ´94,.."Guds spelmän", in ´96,.."Vedergällningen", in ´99.."Hildegard von Bingen" in´01.....The band has been having a lengthy break but we will update this space whenever any news emerge. Please bear with us... stay tuned! .. ....

  • Sounds Like

    FROM THE ARCHIVES:...."Gamen" was the first single from our 1999 release "Vedergällningen", aka "Vengeance". We did a low budget live shoot at Studion, a now shut down rock club in Stockholm. Just back from a couple of days in Cannes, it helped that drinks were free.. and it seems to have helped the overall atmosphere too........ .. .. .. ......"Herr Holger" was a single from the "Guds spelmän" release. We did this video to it. Yes, it's very low budget. Yes, we do understand that it's not the coolest video ever made........ .. .. .. ......"Den Bortsålda": Our first video. Budget: Absolute zero. Shot illegally without anyone knowing. It's brutal and we like it... and look how absolutely adorable we are! It's 1994 and we look about 8.. the quality is pretty sad but we hope to replace it with a better conversion in the future............... .. .. .. .. ......"Vänner & Fränder" is an old live favourite. We tried to shoot a simple video in the same colour scheme as the cover to the album, "Guds spelmän". This is the shorter single version.............. .. .. .. .. ......Filmed in Sardinia, this is the promo video for the second single of the "Vengeance" album. Nuns and bald men and a beatiful scene with Emma and some black birds........Euchari...... .. .. .. .. ..........This is back on YouTube now.. so enjoy our live version of "En gång skall han gråta"!...... .. .. .. ..
