More on Gyllene Tider
Description from Wikipedia:
Gyllene Tider is a famous Swedish pop group. The name "Gyllene Tider" means 'Golden ages' or 'Golden times' in English. Few Scandinavians would not recognize the band's most famous song "Sommartider", often played on the radio during late spring and early summer. The band is well-known for its catchy choruses and light-weight lyrics about summer and life in a small town, and they have been described as a Swedish equivalent of the Beach Boys. In the text below, the Swedish names of the songs are written in italics, with the English translation in parenthesis.
In 1977, Per Gessle met Mats Persson, a member of the band Audiovisuellt Angrepp, forming the duo Grape Rock. Later Micke Andersson, Anders Herrlin and Göran Fritzon joined and the quintet was born. The group's name was changed to Gyllene Tider.
In the following year, the band had become a group of local celebrities in Halmstad for their Christmas concerts. They took advantage of this and released their quite rare vinyl EP, Billy. They sold about 900 copies.
In 1980, the LP Gyllene Tider was released, becoming a huge success in Sweden. Flickorna på TV2 (The girls on TV2) was the biggest hit on that album.
The second album was released in 1981 under the name Moderna Tider (Modern age) and also enjoyed huge success. It was followed up by a national tour. The next year Puls (Pulse) was released with the hits Sommartider (Summertimes) and Flickan i en Cole-Porter-sång (The girl in a Cole Porter song).
In 1985 Gyllene Tider officially broke up. But in the following years a few "Greatest hits" albums were released and a few reunions took place, in particular the immensely popular Återtåget tour of 1996.
