[edit] Biography

Founding members Ralf Rotmalm and Tobias Asplund started the band while still in high school, after having been playing together in the band Atomicwanda for about a year. The first two years of the band's existence were spent rehearsing and recording tracks for the first fullength CD, entitled The Greatest Hits + B-sides - 1899-1897, and the EP Egil, which came out for sale in 1999 and 2000, respectively. A number of live sets were also performed in their hometown of Kiruna. It was later in the year 2000 that the third member, Meri Alarcon, joined.
After that, the band started recording several new tracks, and the albums Happy Termos, Armed Loir and The Bastard Farted Loudly soon followed.
