Dregen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dregen is the nickname of Andreas Tyrone Svensson (born June 12, 1973 in Nässjö, Sweden), who is the guitarist for Swedish punk rock band Backyard Babies since 1987, and used to play guitar in the Hellacopters.

Dregen also played a role in the rock supergroup Supershit666 which consisted of Ginger (The Wildhearts) on vocals/guitar, Nicke Andersson (Hellacopters) on drums, Swedish producer James Hardy on bass, and Dregen playing guitar.

The only Supershit666 release was an eponymous 6-track E.P. on Inferno records released in 1999. They have never played any gigs, and a minimum of rehearsing and recording time was used for the record.

Both Ginger and Dregen have repeatedly said in interviews they would like to record and perhaps tour under the Supershit666 name again, but due to the hectic schedules of all artists involved no firm plans have yet been made.

Dregen also recorded a live album with Dogs D'Amour frontman Tyla titled The Poet And The Dragon

He's in a relationship with the swedish singer Lorna Scoppi-Aliminion.
