About Me |

| Update 4:th Dec 2007: ************************************************************ ***** Mats Frånlund, plays mostly guitars, bass and sings. Began playing electric guitar in mid 70´s, experimenting with sound-on-sound on an old reel-to-reel tape player, then -78-80 in a trio, Mare Con Gelatum, playing improvised hangover-instrumentals, in early 80´s joined a local band, Knighterrant, and later formed Natural Force, playing Heavy Metal or Hard Rock, also some improvised stuff with Olga's Bakdel and Uka Mallon & Fålla Föllö, began extensive recording at home, as Foppenwulf, and later with friends as The Fella's In The Cellar and later The Rolling Beforeskins, occasional recording and gigs throughout the 80´s and early 90´s with M.T. Bottle Band and Nathan Force Band, began recording on my own and with friends again, sold my electric guitars and amp in ´96 (cash problems!!) and focused on acoustic steel-string for a while. In 2001 I had electric guitar & amp again, I was living near Malmoe and began playing in a blues band for a year or so. Then I met a beautiful woman and followed her to Gothenburg. A couple of moves later we now rent a house in Axvall, in the wild west of Skövde. ************************************************************ ****** | |
