The journey of Mister Kite begun in the year of 1999.
Alf Wemmenlind, Anton Johansson and Mats Bergentz where stuck on some demo recordings. Magnus Kristensson helped the band to lay down some guitar solos on a couple of songs, and as it turned out he became a permanent member of the band!
More demos were made and after receiving excellent reviews the band decided to go into a studio to record a full length album in the summer of 2001. Tomas Djurfeldt, an old friend of the band who was drafted to play keyboard and additional guitar parts, completed the line up as Mister Kites fifth member.
New and very important friends were made during the recording of this album such as Bj..rn Dahlberg - the owner of the studio, producer Christer Hermodsson, cover artist Carl Andr.. Beckston and the manager of Lion Music Lasse Mattsson. Guitar wizard Mathias IA Eklundh blessed the song Seventeen Years with a stunning solo.
All this work resulted in the debut album All in time which was released by Lion Music in April 2002, and the total amount of nice words, good grades, well-wishing and congratulations were overwhelming.
That year the band performed at Midtfyn Festival (DK) and the ultimate high of 2002 was an invitation to join DIO on the Scandinavian part of their KILLING THE DRAGON tour.
In the summer of 2003 Mister Kite went back to the studio to record their second album Box of fear. The album was released in February 2004 and was preceded by a 3 track CD single called The Hunger released in November 2003.
Once again the band received numerous incredible reviews and were compared to bands like Q..eensryche, Linkin Park, Sevendust and fellow Swedes Masquerade just to name a few. Later that year Mister Kite joined up with SAGA to support them on their NETWORK tour.
Unfortunately during 2005 both Tomas Djurfeldt and Anton Johansson signalled that they had to quit the band due to other commitments.
In 2006 two new members joined up with Mister Kite: Linus Abrahamsson on bass and Robert Ahrling on guitar.
The song "Won't Go Away" was especially written for the book STIGMA by Swedish author ..sa Schwarz. Mister Kite also appears in the story!

2008
The work with a new album has started and the working title is "From this day on".
Yes we know!
It..s also the name of the opening track on "Box of fear". It only states the case.
The band and the sound is in someways new but It will still be Mister Kite for sure!
