I have been talking about my newly formed band for a while now. But fact is that up until this last Friday, the band; who would play, was not set in stone. We held the first two rehearsals in honor of our drummer: Chrille. He had not played with me or did not know me prior, so he wanted a couple rehearsals to get the feel of it and see if it, playing with us, was something he’d like to do. It was!

So, now I give you, the band:

First up there is Kristofer Göransson. He plays the guitar. When he does not play with me he plays in Navid Modiri & Gudarna, Hanna Lovisa, his own stuff, Kris Gordon and many, many more… He is also a talented recording and mixing technician. Most recently recording, mixing and also playing on the next Gentle Act Incident record.

Then we have Martin Hall. He plays the keys. When not with me, then, live or as a permanent musician and/or songwriter, with Hell is Other People, Hanna Lovisa, Fibes, oh Fibes, Form One and a lot of other stuff, jazz stuff. (He also does a lot of things on his own but has no website for this stuff yet…) Martin, as well, is a talented recording, mixing, producer guy. His most recent worked with the Thrash Metal Band Zombiekrig.

Thirdly there is Brandt. He is a guitarist turned bass-player for this project. He is most known for having played guitar with Lok and Kneget but he also does his own stuff and he plays with Martin in Hell is Other People, among other things.

We now come to drummer man Chrille. He plays with Kristofer in Navid Modiri och Gudarna also with Hanna Lovisa, he does his own stuff, and plays in a lot (at least from what I have gathered) of different Jazz-type groups.

Apart from these four gentlemen you have the usual suspects of Rob and I to conclude the team doing this record.

I used to feel that I did not have anything to do with the music scene in Göteborg, in Sweden or anywhere for that matter and even though I still do not feel directly connected, the links provided above make me feel some what entangled…

There you have it: The band!
