ROCKSTORY

"( SWEDISH EROTICA BIOGRAPHY)"

"Originally titled Swedish Beauty, SWEDISH EROTICA date back to the mid 80s, but was to be plagued by ever shifting line-up problems. The first roster of this Glam outfit comprised of guitarist Magnus Axx, bassist Ulf Sandin, former TNT vocalist Dag Ingebrigtsen, ex-Madison guitarist Dan Stomberg and drummer Magnus Nybratt. This incarnation recorded one track for a Norwegian Rock compilation album before Nybratt and Stomberg left. Replacements were found in Anders Allhage, known more commonly as Andy La Rocque and presently a member of KING DIAMOND, and Jamie Borger . SWEDISH BEAUTY folded during 1988, but were resurrected as SWEDISH EROTICA shortly after by Axx and guitarist Morgan Jensen . The band's first line-up included ex-Madison vocalist Goran Edman , but he was soon to leave to join the YNGWIE MALMSTEEN band and in came former CAPRICORN frontman Tony Niva, who appeared on the first 1989 single 'Down Town'. The debut album "Swedish Erotica" came out in 1989 with Levén singing and former frontman Tony Niva featured on background vocals. Videos for the album's first two singles "R'n'R City" and "Young Wild & Free" were filmed and the videos played on MTV. Thanks to this the band got more attention than many other artists signed by Virgin Scandinavia. Second single, "Wild Young & Free," reached high on the charts but the album was delayed when the distribution company, Elektra went bankrupt, so that all copies of the debut album stayed in a warehouse for a month In 1995, and a new contract with a small company Empire Records, Swedish Erotica finally released a second album called Blindman's Justice, After the album was released frontman Möller had great success with his other band, pop-rockers Black Ingvars, topping the Swedish album charts and touring successfully. This and the general musical climate dominated by grunge and alternative rock led to the Swedish Erotica finally disbanding in 1996. 2005, the German company MTM Music released a compilation by Swedish Erotica - Too Daze Gone "
