Настоящее имя: Gunget
Об исполнителе:
Gunget was formed in 2011 when the band Spastic Trio made the decision to start writing lyrics in Swedish influenced by bands of the time with Swedish lyrics like Dungen, Dundertåget and Den Stora Vilan. The new incarnation Gunget also moved towards a more retro-styled sound of late 60’s and early 70’s as a new wave of retro-rock became widely popularized with groups like Graveyard, Rival Sons and others, as well as Swedish Progg and other music from the 60’s and 70’s. After recording a demo of the first song Raketen a making lots of live appearances in and around Stockholm in 2011-2012, Gunget started recording the album Lever För Igår which was released in 2014. During the recording of Lever För Igår, 2 new members joined the former trio making it a 5-piece band with percussion and organ By the end of 2014 two members dropped out and Gunget was once again a trio. The remaining members started trying out a new sound that was, unlike the blues-rock-riffing Lever För Igår, of a more spacey, psychedelic kind. The result was the first full-length LP Himlen Är Skogens Tak released in 2018 after 3 years of arranging, producing and trying out the new songs live. After performing at the Stoner-rock festival Krökbacken in 2019, Gunget basically went to sleep during 2 years of pandemic and woke up again at its 10-year anniversary in autumn 2021 to play live for the first time since 2019. This time as a four-piece band, with a heavier and more psychedelic sound than ever before.
