Biography


2001 two young aesthetes named Patrik and Markus from the Gothenburg suburbs smashed their heads together, giving birth to a spontanious thought of starting a band. At this point it was all about cool lyrical phrases that made absolutely no sense, but rhymed nicely with obscure words from the dictionary, coming up with clever band names like 13itter and awesome band logos along with them, obviously the idea and goal was very different back then. Another project was born shortly after this between Patrik and Eemu, who started out playing guitar with competing who could play Metallica solos with the least amount of fuckups. These two paths would eventually slowly slide together, at the end colliding, causing the big bang of Koi. Through various of school projects along first came Joni and then Roberd, and Koi took form. We started out strictly as a metal band, but very early on the advantages of not being restricted by any musical boundaries became clear to us. Still at the end of the day what's equally or even more important and what we aim for, is to always have something that identifies us to write meaningful music with a direction, trying to perfectly connect everything, to have a red line, feeling or thought behind every piece. It would be impossible for me to shortly sum us up as a band somehow, since nothing is carved in stone, everything we write is what we felt like writing when we wrote it. Our only guideline is to try to make something new and fresh, surprise ourselves, to find those special chills that get fewer yet stronger the deeper you dig. Our goal will be to try and prove that everything in music has not been done yet!

    Nu är det dags för 2012 års upplaga av GP Scen, tävlingen där du som västsvenskt band eller artist kan få spela i finalen på Järntorget under Way out west-lördagen den 11 augusti samt vinna studiotid med Oskar Lindberg i Svenska grammofonstudion och promotion av Skiva. Det blir femte året vi kör tävlingen och antalet medverkande har stadigt ökat för att 2011 landa på över 350. Helt fantastiskt, tycker vi. Går det att slå i år? Glöm inte att lyssnarna bestämmer åtta av finalisterna och alla röster räknas! Alla regler står på www.gp.se/scen och läs dem noga.

    Nu är det dags för 2011 års upplaga av GP Scen, tävlingen där du som västsvenskt band eller artist kan få delta i finalen på Järntorget under Way out west-lördagen den 13 augusti. Dessutom får vinnaren studiotid med Hans Olsson Brookes i Svenska grammofonstudion samt promotion av Skiva.
    Det blir fjärde året vi kör tävlingen och förra året var antalet deltagare över 350. Helt fantastiskt! Kan vi slå det? Redan nu ligger www.gp.se/scen öppen för registrering och ni Myspace-vänner får därmed några dagars försprång gentemot andra. Gå in, läs reglerna, ladda upp låten och se till att få röster! Så ses vi kanske i augusti!
    I reglerna står bland annat att ni måste vara verksamma i Västsverige, till alla er andra får jag be om ursäkt för att jag tagit er tid.
