  • Bio

    ............ .. 1962 .. I was born at BB Danderyd on Aug. 26 by my mother Margareta. Gunnar was my dad. .. 1966-67 .. Remebering holding Beatles "Rubber Soul" in my hands and constantly wanting to hear it again and again. Made my debut singing "She Loves You" at the playground with a plastic shuffle as guitar. Got my first record. Sven-Ingvars "Fröken Fräken"/"Min Gitarr". Problably one of the best singles ever made. .. 1969 .. Started school .. 1970 .. Lived for 6 months in Cairo Egypt. .. 1971 .. Had my first dance with a girl. Middle of the Road with "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" made it possible. .. 1973 .. David Bowie came in to my life with "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" Can't get enough of that record. .. 1975 .. Became obsessed with Kiss and later on bands like Aerosmith, AC-DC and Thin Lizzy. .. 1976-80 .. My first real rock concert was Kiss at Gröna Lund in May 76 In December my friend Olle Bäcklund showed me a single with a totally black sleeve. -"This is punk rock" What? -"It's kinda like hard rock, but they can't play" Once I listened to "Anarchy In The U.K" by Sex Pistols, my life changed. .. Punk came in a big way in my life. I bought every record I could lay my hands on. Didn't get to see The Ramones in May due to lack of money. But what the hell I did see Clash, Sex Pistols and the Stranglers. With my friend Jeppe Ekholm I started up one of Swedens first fanzines "Punk Magazine" later called R.I.P .. Began to discover Swedish punk acts such as The Pain, Cathy And The Heat, Ebba Grön. Went to London where I did see Suicide, Clash, Specials, Johnny Moped, Magazine, Rich Kids, Slitz, Vibrators, The Members, Skids etc etc. Arranged my first concert at Jarlateatern September 9 with among others Cellskräck, The Pain, Cathy And The Heat and my own Gittarslaktarna. People was throwing eggs at us. I guess we kinda sucked .. Joined Cellskräck as Guitarist. We played in Copenhagen at a punk festival. Recorded as "Concert Of The Moment" But somehow we aren't on the record. It's just a track we're the organisers is talking to me on the phone. So my debut as a recording artist is a phone call. .. My friend Dotun Adebayo (the Duke) asked Cellskräck to record 2 songs for his compilation "Hemliga Vågen" .. 1981-86 .. Bought my Les Paul jr tv model. I still own it to this day. It's my all time favorite Played in different acts such as Tom Pop, Hjältarna .. 1987-90 .. Hellmoppers came alive. We recorded a single "Sup Dig Snygg / Min Disk" .. 1991-97 .. Started out with Love Scuds. In those 3 years we played we managed to release 2 albums 2 singles be on 4 Compilations and make 2 tours in Germany. Played with Living Sacrifice, Rigellos .. 1998-Present .. Started playing with Part-Time Posers and here I am. .. .. ..
