Bio
.. .. 10 members. Average age 22. Hailing from small town Sweden. Napoleon formed in the spring of 2003. After seeing a Napoleon Bonaparte documentary, songwriter and band leader Alexander “T-Glow” Havelda suggested that a shared goal of world domination meant Napoleon was the perfect name for the band, and so it was. .... T-Glow explains the Napoleon sound “There were a lot of long Scandinavian winters hunched over warm stereo speakers and it helped having Daddy Don, a surrogate father to my sister, based in Detroit sending over soul records from the 60’s but we all love Morrissey, The Boss and those whom we get compared to a lot, the criminally underrated, Dexy’s Midnight Runners”. .... This smorgasbord of American inner city Soul and British eccentricity, combined with their Nordic pioneering spirit makes Napoleon what they are… Add characters that include a seriously talented Jazz aficionado, the great, great grandson of the man who shot the Swedish King Ankarstrom and the son of the man who was No3 on the KGB’s hit list after Russia invaded the Czech Republic in the 1960’s. This diverse range of factual gems is perfect for a band that is brimming with excitement and surely serves to further the old phrase ‘two heads are better than one and ten heads are better than two.’ .... Their performance is like a stage re-enactment of the best house party you ever went to with all your best friends and some beautiful strangers. It is drama delivered with conviction. .... Napoleon play with passion and vigour, and are one of the few bands who have a member who’s dedicated instrument is the glockenspiel. ....

Napoleon play with passion and vigour, and are one of the few bands who have a member who’s dedicated instrument is the glockenspiel.
Viva La difference!

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MICHAEL MYERS ...
"I spent eight years trying to reach him and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply EVIL ...
You've got to believe me, Officer, he is coming to Haddonfield... Because I know him - I'm his doctor! You must be ready for him... If you don't, it's your funeral!"
~ Dr. Sam Loomis from the movie "HALLOWEEN"

It's HOT out there Napoleon!
I AM RECORDING A NEW CD THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SUMMER HEAT ...
You KNOW its HOT when ~
> The birds have to use POTHOLDERS to pull worms out of the ground.
> The cows are giving EVAPORATED MILK.
> The trees are WHISTLING for the dogs.
> You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
> Hot water now comes out of BOTH TAPS.
> You realize that ASPHALT has a LIQUID STATE.
IT WAS SO HOT THE OTHER DAY THAT I TURNED ON
THE LAWN SPRINKLER AND ALL I GOT WAS STEAM!
STAY COOL Napoleon!

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...
"I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest."
"I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me."
"I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap."
"I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender."
"My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive."
"What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife."
"This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me."
~ Rodney Dangerfield
A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE HEART ...
“The HUMAN HEART FEELS THINGS the eyes cannot

~ Robert Valett
ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK A HEART ~

Napoleon ~ Make It a GREAT DAY my friend!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF LOVE ...
"You will find as you look back upon your LIFE
that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED
are the MOMENTS when you have DONE THINGS
in the SPIRIT OF LOVE."
~ Henry Drummond
THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.
WHAT IS SACRED? OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?
WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH
DYING FOR? THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.
ONLY LOVE.

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HOPE ...

HOPE IS THE POOR MAN'S BREAD. WHILE THERE IS
LIFE THERE IS HOPE!
