NQB

Swedish Glam / Rock band active 1968-1974 (1978). On of Sweden's first girl rock groups with, among others, Py Bäckman. Py became, in 1973, singer in the band as a 25-year-old and was with some years. The band toured extensively, both in the Swedish folk parks and abroad, during that period. The group Quidesty Blaise was started in 1966 by Barbro Eriksson and Anita (Krüger) Dunell but was disbanded after a few years. In 1968, Elisabeth Åhlander and Eva Norberg sought members for a new band and got hold of Anniqua Andreasson and Barbro Eriksson who had played with Quidesty. The name of the new band was New Quidesty Blaise. In 1971, they took the name NQB because they were tired of misspellings and wanted to simplify. In 1974, the NQB was disbanded but re-emerged in two different settings until 1978.
