First Band From Outer Space biography

If you believe that "First Band From Outer Space" really is what the name says it is, then we'll tell you this story. We landed here on earth in the year 2002 and our base is stationed in Gothenburg, Sweden. The reason we came here is because we want to play rock music. Since we were unable to create sounds in the cold void of outer space, earth seamed like a good place to go.

Our rock n' roll sensor controls locked on a part of earth called Scandinavia. The machine couldn't pinpoint any specific location for our rockin' to take place so we had to choose one ourselves. When we first landed and asked around, everyone suggested the town Gothenburg on the west-coast of Sweden. The word is that the town is famous for it's original sound of music and high regards for rock n' roll. Gothenburg became our natural choice.

The band started out in 2001 when Fredrik (bass) and Johan (guitar) both ended up living in Gothenburg, Sweden. Being musicians, having played in the same band before and being friends for a long time, it was inevitable for them to start a band. But it wasn't until Carl (drums) joined in 2002, that things started to take form. Our sound was born. From there on we've been working on refining our sound. We've brought different musicians in to the band, changed locations, exchanged equipment, learnt new skills, played and jammed a lot. Now when Petrus (organ) has been with us for some time, we're feeling stability as a four-piece band. He is both creative and skilful and he brings a new feeling to the music. Since we started to produce our songs in our own studio, the possibilities for more complex arrangements have increased a lot. We are now able to work without paying someone by the hour and we can be more flexible in the writing/recording process.
