Itchycoo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Itchycoo are a Swedish pop duo comprising of Mia Bergström and Tobias Gustafsson and was formed in the city of Gothenburg in 2002. The band's musical style has varied across their two albums and encompasses their early pop leanings through to their Kean and Coldplay inspired second album. Their self titled debut album "Itchycoo" (2003/4) released on Virgin Records Germany, gave them a solid base in their adopted country of Germany where they won the prestigious 2003 Radio SWR3 New Pop Festival and were nominated for an German Music Industry "Echo Award" in 2004. The band are perhaps best known for their single "Killer Bee", from the album "Ithcycoo" (2003/4). In 2004, Itchycoo reached the semi-finals of the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest and continued their European Tour supporting PiNK! in Germany. In Summer 2005 Itchycoo switched labels and signed with Valicon Music in Berlin, the production company and label responsible for German pop / rock band "Silbermond". A year of writing and recording has led to the much awaited second album offering from the Swedish duo titled "Do You Believe.."
