Michael Stolt

lead vocals, bass.

Michael was one of the original members in The Flower Kings. Between 1995-2000 he was playing the bass and singing backing vocals. He did several tours with the band in Japan, Europe, USA and South-America. Michael was also the singer in the band "Desperados". They had number 1 hits in Sweden and became fast one of Swedens most popluar bands. Rox ? Yeah!

Jocke JJ Marsh

He has been playing with Glenn Hughes for the last 10 years. We all know JJ is brilliant guitar player/singer but he is also a very good composer. JJ is now playing gigs with his band Planet Marsh.

Marcus Liliequist

Marcus is one of Swedens most hired session/gig drummers. He was also part of The Flower Kings for a couple of years. Such a great guy, such a brilliant drummer! Besides, he makes me laugh all the time:) Bast!

Booking & Info
InfluencesI´m influenced by a lot of music. Of course rock has always been a part of my life. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple,Pink Floyd, Muse ( they are so good!), Foghat, Steppenwolf, Budgie, The Band, Grand Funk Railroad, Nazareth, Uriah Heep, Queen.....

Then we have the pop/poprock like Beatles, David Bowie, Crosby, Still, Nash & Young, Talking Heads, Fleetwood Mac, JJ Cale, Lou Reed, XTC, Stranglers, U2, Red Noise...

Also some of the fusion/jazzfusion like George Duke, Billy Cobham, Herbie Hancock, Jan Garbarek, Pat Metheny

Now we are pretty close to jazz... I´m not a jazz player but I enjoy some musicians like Putte Wickman, Roger Kellaway, Toots Thielmans

At the age of 14 I started to collect classical LPs. First I went thru Beethoven, Motzart, Bach and the more usual stuff. But after a while I fell more and more in love with composers like Schostachovic, Prokofiev, Stravinskji.

And talking about some pure synth music...Jean-Michel Jarre (then I talk about Oxygen), Wendy Carlos, Vangelis and here I would to mention Philip Glass (even if it´s not synth music!)

Among the modern progbands I would say that Porcupine Tree is one of the best! I also like Kino very much!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketHasse again...

Thinking about keyboardists I would say Patric Moraz, Mr Jobson, Keith Emerson, Joe Zawinul, Rick Wakeman and Tony Banks. Also one name I would like to mention is Tom Brislin. He´s a very, very skilled player and also such a nice guy!.

This is a lot of talk about music... There is a lot of things apart from music that inspires me. Books, food (I´m a decent chef:), my family of course, travells, running...I´ll try to keep the pace this year!

Sounds LikeFlower Kings (ofc the influences are obvious)

Tomas Bodin Forum



I am perhaps best known as the keybord player in the progressive /symphonic rock band "The Flower Kings". But since 1996 I have also released 6 solo albums.



Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket First out was "AN ORDINARY NIGHT IN MY ORDINARY LIFE" (1999). I was really suprised by the good respons.. The album was produced by Roine Stolt and also released on his own label "Foxtrot Music". The lineup was...

Jaime Salazar Drums

Michael Stolt Bass

Ove Eriksson Bass

Roine Stolt Guitars

Hasse Bruniusson Perc, Drums & Bicycle wheel!

From there there I spent a lot of time working with several Flower Kings albums. Also I did work a lot at different theathers such as The Royal National Theather of Drama (Dramaten), Riksteatern, Upsala Stadsteater. I also took part in a couple of movies...(no major Hollywood release with Julia Roberts...I guess I have to watch Nothing Hill one more time )



Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket At 2002 I decided to make my 2nd album "PINUP GURU"... I wanted it to sound a little bit like ELP so I kept in within a trio format. Keyz, Drms and Bass. The lineup...

Jonas Reingoldt Bass

and the eminent drummer Zoltan Csörsz

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket One year later SONIC BOULEVARD saw the daylight. At first, Roine Stolt and I decided to record a sort of ambient project. I came up with the name Sonic Boulevard. However for different reasons we didnt finish this idea. Instead I made this semi-ambient/progressive album on my own. Its a lot of afro-influences and one theme is working as an idé fix

Jocke JJ Marsh Guitar (a lot of Jeff Beck influences!)

Ulf Wallander Saxophone

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Next project was something really odd! I invented a fake band and I called it THE SWEDISH FAMILY. Then I released the album Vintage Prog-The best of Swedish Family. Hmmm this was quite fun..some people actully believed in the story. A journalist also claimed he saw that band back in the 70.ies. Great fun!! The music was very much in the tradtion of Swedish folkrock.

I have made a special Swedish Family myspace site at

Roine Stolt Guitars & Basses

Ulf Wallander soprano saxophone

Hasse Bruinusson Drums & Perc



Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket 2 years later I decided to release a full production record. This time I wanted to make a bigger production with vocals, lyrics, concept...yeah why not make a rockopera!!!???
The concept idea included 3 albums. First out, I AM was me looking at myself in a sort of biographical way. YOU ARE (release spring 2009) is going to be me looking at You. I (go ahead read the lyrics at the blogs)HE SHE IT IS will be a story about love from different angels. Jealousy, Homosexuality, Wife beaters and more.....
The lineup for I AM was;

Marcus Liliequist Drums (The Cow is Marcus Dearest pet!)

Photobucket

Jonas Reingoldt Bass

Jocke JJ Marsh Guitars

Anders Jansson Vocals

Helene Schönning Vocals

Pernilla Bodin Vocals

Photobucket Next album was"Cinematograaph" (2008). I did release it on my own label "Helikon House". This album is 100% keyboard and keyboard only. I wanted the music to be suitable for movies. So prepare yourself for some heavy Dreamscapes.

Then ofc there is always different side-projects. I have been working as a producer for different groups/artists. Moonsafari and the album "Doorway to Summer"was recived very well among the progfans. Last year I produced Lenehs album "Här" (Swedish Lyrics) and together with Jonas Reingold also the Dutch group Moondiver. Leneh is played on Swedish National radio every day.

Here are some new videoclips. Enjoy:)

Smile Your Sea...

Tomas,

This is my first 3 chord wonder
I decided to video!

The vision is not the best so I
will eventually reshoot it.

I just wanted to share it with
you on the very day I wrote this
song - 'Smile Your Sea'.

I hope you like the lyrical vibe
the heartspeak,the metaphors!
