THE SPACERIDERS
from Nora & Vretstorp, Sweden

Spotnicks Related Postat 2020-11-05 av admin2020-11-05

Members:
Kjell Arne Persson (born 1949), drums and vocals.
Anders Moberg (born 1952), bass.
Mats Henriksson (born 1962), lead- and rhythm guitar.
Stefan Moell (born 1972), lead- and rhythm guitar.
Jonas Henriksson (born 1998), lead- and rhythm guitar.

Background and description:
The foundation for the band was laid, thanks to, or because of, as you like, a 60s gala that we within the Henriksson family arranged in Nora on 28/11 2010. Admission was free. It came approx. 50-60 people.

Jonas, Lars-Göran Vinger, Markku Julin and I played, one time each, to backing tracks.
The band The Skylines, which was the attraction of the evening, played classic guitar songs and some of the slightly unusual kind. It became very popular and successful. The Skylines consisted of Patrik Lindberg on guitar, Daniel Holm on guitar, Markku Julin on bass and Peter Bergkvist on drums.

That evening we met Anders Moberg from Vretstorp, who asked if we, Jonas and I wanted to play with him, which we obviously were. Anders played bass and we met at home a couple of times before we thought it was time to get a drummer. I asked Johnny Öster, whom I knew at a time when he worked in the music store in Nora, and he came up with the idea.

At the beginning of January 2011, we met for the first time, then in Musikens Hus (The House of Music), where Johnny had a rehearsal room. It worked well, and Johnny later introduced Stefan Moell, who knew how to play Johnny Guitar and Foot Tapper among others. And that’s the way it is. We had some name suggestions on the band but decided on The Spaceriders. We thought it sounded a bit Spotnick related and most of the repertoire was and is Spotnicks songs.

In the spring of 2011 Johnny quit but occasionally joined in the vocals when we played outside. Albin Ström came to replace him. The first gig we had was in Uskavi, outside Nora, on July 17th. It was really fun, and until this year we have had just over 60 gigs, mostly at nostalgia places but also at private parties and car meetings etc.
Albin left the band in the autumn of 2016 and was replaced by Kjell Arne Persson, on drums and vocals, in the spring of 2017.

I, Mats, first heard The Spotnicks in 1969/70 when my big brother and I were visiting a neighbor. He played the Karussell Kavalkad, the green LP, with Ghostriders In The Sky and Old Clock At Home among others. There I became a Spotnicks fan forever, and learned to play the guitar at the age of 10, inspired by The Spotnicks. Funny that Jonas also became found of Spotnicks but that’s how the children grew up with The Spotnicks and other guitar bands and like it. By the way, Jonas started playing guitar when he was seven years old.

A special memory with The Spotnicks:
Jonas also got the chance to play a song (Moonshot) with The Spotnicks when they visited Nora on July 14, 2012. What an experience.
The first time I saw The Spotnicks live was in Degerfors on March 31, 1984. It was an incomparable experience and, after the show to meet the idols in person and get the autographs, it was a special moment, I will never forget.
There were many live performances I/we went to and it was always so fantastic. The last gig in Gothenburg on March 30, 2019, became very emotional for many of us, but the memories and music live on.

Equipment:
Jonas: Two Fender Stratocasters + other brands and models. Amplifier: ASI 125GTR, and speaker cabinet with Eminence Betaelement och Alesis Microverb 4. Strängar: D’Addario 13-56
Stefan: Two Fender Stratocasters, Peavey amplifier + multi pedal.
Mats: Four Fender Stratocasters + one Fender Telecaster. Amplifier: Gallien Kreuger + ZOOM RFX 2000 effect rack and BOSS GT1 multi pedal. Speaker cabinet with Philips element. Striings: D’Addario Pure Nickel 12-51 + GHS 12-52

For the most part songs by The Spotnicks, The Shadows and The Ventures but also own compositions and a few other goodies in instrumental or vocal elements.
Favorite songs: Last Date, Hang On, Johnny Guitar, The Lad Song, Don’t Tell Me Your Troubles m.fl.

THE SPACERIDERS
från Nora & Vretstorp

Spotnicks Related Postat 2020-11-05 av admin2020-11-05

Medlemmar:
Kjell Arne Persson (född 1949), trummor och sång.
Anders Moberg (född 1952), bas.
Mats Henriksson (född 1962), solo- och kompgitarr.
Stefan Moell (född 1972), solo- och kompgitarr.
Jonas Henriksson (född 1998), solo- och kompgitarr.

Bakgrund och beskrivning:
Grunden till bandet lades, tack vare, eller på grund av, vilket man vill, en 60-talsgala som vi inom familjen Henriksson anordnade i Församlingshemmet i Nora den 28/11 2010. Inträdet var fritt. Det kom ca. 50-60 personer.

Jonas, Lars-Göran Vinger, Markku Julin och jag spelade, varsin gång, till backing tracks.
Bandet The Skylines som var kvällens höjdpunkt spelade klassiska gitarrlåtar och några av det lite ovanliga slaget. Det blev mycket populärt och lyckat. The Skylines bestod av Patrik Lindberg gitarr, Daniel Holm gitarr, Markku Julin, bas och Peter Bergkvist trummor.

Den kvällen träffade vi Anders Moberg från Vretstorp, som frågade om vi, Jonas och jag hade lust att spela tillsammans med honom, vilket vi självklart hade. Anders spelade bas och vi träffades hemma hos oss ett par gånger, innan vi tyckte att det var dags att få med en trummis. Jag frågade Johnny Öster, som jag känt en tid då han jobbade i musikaffären i Nora, och han tände på idén.

I början av januari 2011 träffades vi första gången, då i Musikens Hus, där Johnny hade replokal. Det fungerade bra, och Johnny introducerade senare Stefan Moell, som bland annat kunde Johnny Guitar och Foot Tapper. Och på den vägen är det. Vi hade några namnförslag på bandet men bestämde oss för The Spaceriders, det lät lite Spotnicksrelaterat, tyckte vi eftersom den större delen av repertoaren var och är Spotnickslåtar.

Under våren 2011 hoppade Johnny av men var med emellanåt på sång då vi spelade ute. Albin Ström kom in istället för Johnny. Den första spelning vi hade var i Uskavi, utanför Nora, den 17 juli. Det var riktigt roligt, och fram till i år har vi haft drygt 60 spelningar, mest på nostalgiställen men också på privata fester och bilträffar, m.m.
Albin lämnade bandet hösten 2016 och ersattes av Kjell Arne Persson, trummor och sång våren 2017.

Jag, Mats, hörde The Spotnicks första gången 1969/70 när jag och min storebror hälsade på en granne. Han spelade Karusells Kavalkaden, den gröna lp:n, med bland andra Ghostriders In The Sky och Den Gamla Moraklockan. Där blev jag Spotnicksfantast för evigt, och lärde mig att spela gitarr i 10-årsåldern, inspirerad av The Spotnicks. Roligt att Jonas också blev Spotnicksfrälst, men så har ju barnen växt upp med The Spotnicks och andra gitarrband, och tycker om det. Jonas började för övrigt spela gitarr då han var sju år.

Speciellt minne med The Spotnicks:
Jonas fick och chansen att spela en låt (Moonshot) med The Spotnicks när de gästade Folkparken i Nora 14/7 2012. Vilken upplevelse.
Första gången jag såg The Spotnicks live var i Degerfors 31 mars 1984, det var en makalös upplevelse, och efter spelningen få träffa idolerna in person och få autograferna, det var ett speciellt ögonblick, jag aldrig kommer att glömma.
Det blev många liveframträdanden jag/vi åkte på och det var alltid så fantastiskt bra. Den sista spelningen i Göteborg den 30 mars 2019, blev väldigt känslosam för många av oss, men minnena och musiken lever vidare.

Utrustning:
Jonas: Två Fender Stratocasters + andra märken och modeller. Förstärkare: ASI 125GTR, och låda med Eminence Betaelement och Alesis Microverb 4. Strängar: D’Addario 13-56

I (Bernt) have been interested in Spotnicks since the first time I heard THe Old Spinning Wheel back in 1961.
I had a band in the 60’s where we played dance music around central Sweden and the border areas in Norway. We already had some Spotnicks songs and also songs by Shadows.

Besnaz was formed in the spring of 2013. The name comes from the fact that we have our rehearsal room in Bäsna community center.
We then had Ingemar Lindström on bass. He has a distinct Stockholm dialect and could not pronounce the letter ”ä”. He always said Besna and then the band’s name got to be like that.

From 2018, we now have Anders Jansson on base. Anders and drummer Ove have both played in dance bands in the 70s and 80s.

We play a lot at pensioner meetings and nostalgia days. We have also participated in the Spotnicks Festival at Apple hotels (2017) and Backa Folkets hus (2018) in Gothenburg and has also played with the Cadillac Band.

We have recorded two CDs. The first with the title ”Just listen to my heart” 2016 and ”The Besnaz on Wheels” in 2020 and also had several songs on Radio Spotnicks’ top list.

Equipment:
Solo guitar: Fender Stratocaster, Vox AC 30, (Boss Katana 100), Hall & Collins signature echo.
Rhythm guitar: Fender Sstratocaster, Boss Katana 100.
Bass: Fender P-bass and Mustang
Drums: Tama or Ludvig from 1965.

Repertoire:
Our repertoire includes songs by The Spotnicks (about 12) and The Shadows (about 25) but also by Violents and
Ventures. Occasional songs from other bands too.
Favorite songs among Spotnick’s songs are Amapola, Johnny guitar, Karelia and Old spinning wheel.

COVER BANDS

Spotnicks Related Postat 2020-09-27 av admin2020-11-17



In June, a call was posted here and on Facebook where I was searching for bands – or individual musicians – who have The Spotnicks music as a guiding star and who want to share why they are stucked to this genre and how you do to carry this music forward.

It was Kent Brännlund who came up with the idea.
As a former Spotnicks member and now one of the musicians in A Tribute To The Spotnicks, he is one of many culture bearers who carry on this unique music genre.
He, like me – and hopefully many more – thinks it would be interesting to inform about who else keeps the Spotnicks music alive (more important now than ever!).

So far six bands have responded to the call. Hopefully more will get in touch!
Received entries are presented further down the page.

Your contributions should include the following:
• Name and picture and ”domicile” (city/town)
• Names (and perhaps also age) of participating musicians and their instruments
• Information about other equipment that may be of interest for others to read about
• What made you start playing The Spotnicks music
• How long you have been playing this type of music
• Which songs are your absolute favorites
• How you bring your music to others

You are also welcome to tell us if you have any special memory with The Spotnicks that you want to share.

I can publish some audio files on the website with your permission.
Any videos will only be published if they can be linked to YouTube or similar.

Does this sound interesting? In that case, send your contributions!
Send your contributions by email to webmaster@spotnicks.net
Don’t forget to let me know if your contact details may be published or not!

I take the liberty to edit the content so that it is suitable for publication and I also translate into Swedish if time permits.

Members:
Tomas Boström (70 years), rhythm and solo guitar
Swenne Wiberg (70 years), rhythm and solo guitar
Pop Persson (69 years), drums
Tony Sirén (59 years), electric bass

Background and description:
I – Swenne Wiberg – came in contact with Spotnicks and their music early 60’s.
I bought the first EP in Gothenburg then came one record after another.
I actually bought two EPs then, had received Christmas presents, the other was with The Violents, another Swedish band.
Already in the late 50’s I had Cliff Richard as my favorite.

I thought The Spotnicks had a sound that no other band had.
Favorite songs I got hooked on back then were My Old Kentucky Home and Midnight Special with incredible solos from Bo’s guitar and with Bob’s great vocals!
Then you fell in love with the other songs that came as if on a conveyor belt.

What you heard you wanted to try to practice yourself, got a Höfner electric guitar from my parents 1964/65, had a steel-stringed Bjärton before, which you tried to play after or take out songs yourself on. It went so and so…

Different basement bands were formed in the mid 60’s with different qualities, but as you got older and started working and buying proper stuff to play on type Fender Strata and Fender amplifiers Reverb Delux, then you could afford to buy Vox Ac30 (!)
Then it started to sound something like what you heard from the records, we thought. We rehearsed and rehearsed rehearsed, even bought notes.

In 2003, The Sound Of Fenders was started at Spotnicksklubben in Hedefors, with sedulous practice we had put together a repertoire with a lot of Spotnicks-related songs.
There were gigs at the Spotnicks club and at festivals here and there.

Now, at the age of 69, a new band was started with the name Mysteeri from Borås to continue to spread the guitar music like Spotnicks-/Shadows-/Rautalanka music further.
Mystery started on August 12, 2019 and we practiced for several hours and had a few gigs. After the Corona Pandoma struck in March, there have been no more exercises or gigs so far.

Equipment:
We use Fender Stratocasters, Vox and various other brands and the band plays i.a. Spotnicks music.

Repertoire:
The favorite songs we play are i.a. Theme From Leningrad, Johnny Guitar, Valentina, Busted, Last Date and Time Is Tight.

Members:
Three of us were involved from the beginning:
Ola Humlefors (72 years), electric bass
Jonny Lönnström (68 years) drums
Lennart Berg (73 years) guitar

In 2015, Karl-Gustav Örtlund was replaced by Kenneth Lindholm (71 years old) on vocals and guitar

Background and description:
The band was formed in 2002 and then had Kristinehamn in Värmland as our home. Nowadays we have Lidköping as domicile because we use to practice there.
After a gig at Hedefors Café in front of the members of Spotnicks’ fan club, a journalist wanted to know the name of our band.
We then had nothing but had to come up with one during the 25 miles on the way home during the night. It then became a strange translation of the landscape Värmland = HOTLANDERS®.
The band then consisted of four members. In total, there have been ten people who have been involved.

Initially, the idea was that Kalle would play Shadows songs and Lennart Spotnicks songs.
When Kenneth turned out to play many Spotnicks songs with bravura, we dropped the idea.

We play live and meet our audience that way. Recently, there have also been some recordings and we have right now (September 2020) a song on Radio Spotnicks’ top list and some melodies are released on Carelia Records.

Equipment:
Lennart had Göran Holén to rebuild the Fender with active mics and he uses an echo/reverb made by the same man. The Fender super sonic 22 that is transferred out in PA gives the final sound.
Kenneth uses Fender guitars, Lexicon MPX G2 effects and Fender Super 60 amplifiers.
Ola plays at Fender and Arvidsson basses.
Jonny’s drums are made by Remo.

Repertoire:
With a few exceptions for a few melodies, we have not played anything other than Shadows and Spotnicks as we started in 2002 because we had it with us in our luggage from the 60’s.
Favorite songs for Lennart’s are: Moonshot, Havah Nagila, Ghostriders In the Sky, Last Date, Amapola, Johnny Guitar, Karelia, I Remember You, Just Listen To My Heart, Hang On, Ol´ Man River and La Rosita. The last three when Kenneth is in the lead.
Ola prefers the Shadows songs from the older recordings. Jonny wants to play the ”classic” Spotnicks and Shadows.
Kenneth likes to play old Shadows and Spotnicks songs and a little Cliff Richard.

Tommi Hyppönen, solo guitar and vocals
Conny Nilsson, keyboard and vocals
Hans Malmquist, bass
Stanley Nyquist, roadie
Åke Hammarin, rhythm guitar and bandmaster

Background and description:
I have liked Spotnicks since the early 60’s and I also liked Shadows as well.
The idea or dream of once being able to play guitar and preferably electric guitar was born there.

However, it took until the early 80’s before I bought an electric guitar. I then formed one small band in my newly built garage with the idea that we would become a guitar band. It showed to be a bit limited in the number of songs, so we also picked up some vovals.

We played many Spotnicks songs as decent covers.
Eventually we got offers to play at private parties and then we needed a lot of danceable songs.
We also had the opportunity to play for a paying audience at the Jazz House in Gothenburg in 1990.
We played several times a year for 20 years and we got good publicity in the press and appeared on radio and TV.

Through The Spotnicks Swedish Fan Club, I got to know members of Spotnicks.
I also became a bit of a helper for the group at various gigs and was sometimes a sound engineer.
I was with when the original group was reunited and did a short tour and also when Bo Winberg came back from Spain and restarted Spotnicks via Papa O`.
He then borrowed the equipment I bought from him.

In recent years, there have not been as many public gigs for our band. We have participated in the Nordic Guitar Club and Club Fenix.
We have recorded a cassette tape and two CDs.
As a curiosity, it can be mentioned that Hans Wahlström and Douglas Möller, with a past in The Spotnicks, have both participated in the band.

Equipment:
The group’s equipment includes e.g. an Ampeg amplifier that has belonged to Bo Winberg.

Repertoire:
In our repertoire we always have some Spotnicks songs, which are also our favorites such as. Last date, Johnny Guitar and Jessica.

Here are some samples:

The Roadcasters historia kommer av att folk frågade om vi inte kunde spela Rockabilly och Rock’N’Roll också.
Sagt och gjort, fram med Gretsch gitarrerna, ståbas och drum club kit, ”fullt ös” och nytt bandnamn The Roadcasters.
Nu spelar vi allt från -50 tal och framåt med bl.a. många Elvislåtar.
Roadcasters har också släppt egen CD som är inspelad i ”Studio Skrikan” i Kungälv.
Ansvarig utgivare: Carelia Records skivbolag, Kristinehamn. Tel 076-825 96 83

Här är några smakprov från CD’n:
Jailhouse Rock https://related.spotnicks.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/03-Jailhouse-Rock.m4a
Route 66 https://related.spotnicks.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/07-Route-66.m4a
Gee Whiz It’s You https://related.spotnicks.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/09-Gee-Whiz-Its-You.m4a

Vi är alltså två band med samma goa gubbar i mogen ålder.
Välkommen att höra av er!
