As the lead-guitarist Mats plays a central role in getting the groove going. And so he does. Just look at this picture. You can almost touch the energy and smell the sweat. Mats stops at nothing to make a good show. His big passion in life seems to be buying houses and moving out of them as soon as possible. And running after taxis, when he forgets his guitar in them.
Hans has been with the band since the very beginning playing rhythm guitar. His burning interest and ambition makes anything happen. He is very into recording and is the man behind the bands demo recordings. All done in one of his computers, worthy of all envy. Likes buying guitars and plays loud (according to the girls).

Here we've got the one who keeps it all together. Axel gives the needed nod to anyone who is can't remember where he is. He came to the band about five years ago and is playing a big part in the musical machinery. His jazz influences can be heard as he plays the keys in a solo. Is also playing harmonica and singing background vocals.

The lead singer David joined the band in February 1998, after answered an ad by the band who were seeking a new lead vocalist. Now he has fully grown into the role as the front audience tamer, having the public in his hands. Don't call him before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, because he will still be asleep after the gig last night and the following party. Or maybe he is just tired after a long night work in his Virtual Studio. Still waits for a girl to throw her underpants at him while singing his Tom Jones number.......................
As drummers usually are, Jonas is the joker that you can't be serious with. He loves to pound the skin of his drums and does so very well. His influences gets heard in songs like Stings "Epilogue". The fusion part has to be left at home but he doesn't seem to mind getting his kicks with his double base drum pedal, that you can notice at as weird places as "Hold on I'm coming"!
Above you see is our three lovely do-ap-girls. Lena is one of the rare members who has been with the band since the start. Next to her is Marie who you often can enjoy singing songs like "Think" by Aretha Franklin. Next to her is Jenny that does a bone chilling version of "Mercedes Benz". But unfortunately only at sound checks.
Our base player is probably the only one who can walk home from a party without noticing that he is wearing shoes that are four sizes too small. In other words he lives up to the rock myth and drinks like Keith Richards on a good day. And ladies, he is also very handy. The bass you see in the picture was hand-made by Kari himself. Tries to look unaffected when something goes wrong. Like a bum note or something.
What you see to the right is not a moment of prayers. It is only our saxophone player enjoying himself with the congas. When the other brass players goes away Nicklas stands tall and blows his sax. Nicklas is also one of the original members with good spirits and never hesitates to play a tune. Can do a perfect impersonation of a foghorn.
Oh yes, it's true. This is the tallest trumpet-playing singer in the land. He stands tall (literally), blowing his horn. Magnus has not been in the band for that long, but his already got his own habits. One is to forget his horn in the Music Academy each Friday. This ensures him to be late to every Sunday rehearsal.
This is the guy who writes down the music while listening to it! The man that knocks down the audience with his trombone if they come to close! The man who just married! The man who sets the notes and joins the bar(s).
Our man behind the console. The master of the mixer-controls. Makes sure that we are heard and seen from the stage.
