Generator (SWE)
Guitar oriented pop/rock band based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Our music is based on song writing. The melodies always come first and the individual performance is way down the list of priorities. That doesn't necessarily mean that we stay away from lengthy guitar solos -- come on, we're a guitar oriented rock band! however, if the song doesn't benefit from that massive two minute guitar solo, it just won't be part of the song -- it's as simple as that!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Been playing as a band since 1997 with a couple of changes in setting and members, originally playing covers.
In late 1998 we started over, five guys playing original material. In 2001 one of the guys left the band due to musical differences, and ever since we've been the same four guys making music together.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Will be out gigging soon... Keep posted...
Your musical influences
Our music sounds like a mix between Coldplay, Radiohead, U2 and Pearl Jam.
What equipment do you use?
Gibson Les Pauls, Fender, Koch and Marshall amps and a bunch of pedal effects for the guitars. Fender Precision bass guitar and Hartke and EBS amplification. Premier drums and assorted symbals.
