Hey friends! People are asking me what the new band Absolut BlåGult is about. So i thought i should tell you the story behind the band... The idea for the band started last summer when i was visiting the singer Tony Josefsson in Borlänge. We were out driving with his car just enjoying the warm summernight, listening to music on the radio. They were basically only playing classic swedish pop songs from the 70,80,90s, when all of a sudden i just realized how incredibly many great songs that have been written by swedish artists through the years, and how loved and deeply rooted they are in peoples minds. So I said to Tony that we should put together a band and celebrate all this great swedish music... In our own special way! No matter if its pop, schlager, danceband, disco, country, rock... You name it. Is it a great song that people love to hear, well take it on and give it the ABG treatment... Meaning, rock it upn rock it up with a shitload of energy! Seeing us playing live should be like being inside of a horse stampede! Tony really liked the idea aswell and the more we talked about it we felt that we were on to something really cool. We agreed that we wanted this band to be a bunch of no egobuddies with the right attitude to the band idea rather than the greatest musicans. So i got in touch with some of the coolest and nicest musicans ive been playing with through the years and...Voila! Absolut BlåGult was formed Before the first rehearsal we had never played together as a band, but it only took about 10 minutes to realize that the cemistry between us was just... Perfect! And guess what... The guys in the band are not only the coolest people, but the they are the greatest musicans aswell! On November 29th. Well play our premiere gig at Galaxen in Borlänge. be sure to wear body armour or at least diapers... You will be hit by a powerful force! Cheers, Ian
