Top Cats - Heartache


At the end of last week did Stockholm had a visit of Baseballs and Top Cats, these two bands had on its agenda to play at Klubben for a bunch of excited fans. Top Cats is the band that opens up and does it with bravura, these young men really get the audience to move his limbs, dancing away and singing along, the Top Cats would be an incredibly entertaining act I had actually never imagined, enough for a small suspicion arose during the sound check when the story of the cool guy from Östermalm was told and how a Östermalms riffs may sound.




The band was founded in 2001 by four friends, who soon became five, friends, that is. Daniel Kjellberg, Fredrik Lilja, Henric Törnevik, Jon Kleppenes and Patrik Pantzar. The idea was brought at a music lesson, where the full context was "playing in the group." Daniel, Fredrik and Jon who were in the same class and played the Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash. This was one of the first times their feeble teenage fingers could touch the base metal in the music hall's arsenal of instruments. After that they harrow in their friend Henric's Garage, an atmosphere filled with nasty and noisy sounds. And so it went on for a while. The upcoming years later, Frederick, Henry and Patrick pubertal faces immortalized in their friend the documentary film Raggarliv, in a parking lot outside of Arvika. And here begins the story of the Top Cats.

 A story that mostly has been a success story, slightly chipped by band members who saddled on. Robert Jansson joined the band as drummer, replacing Daniel. This was a while ago, they are a little unsure of when exactly. They know that he certainly is on a recording that they made with Mariann Records 2004 A few years later decided to Patrick to quit, and later Henry. He was replaced by Martin Lindahl, our current bass player. And sim salla bop so we arrived in the present time.
