Happydeadmen Biography
by Mike DaRonco
Happydeadmen were one of the first Swedish acts to have been given credit for inspiring the '90s explosion of pop acts. With the thank-you list that includes the Cardigans and Popsicle, Happydeadmen's melody of charming indie glee debuted in 1988. With their first full-length, Eleven Pop Songs (1990), and Game, Set, Match (1993) independently released, Happydeadmen would spend a part of 1995 touring Japan before their follow-up album, Bullfights Every Sunday, came out two years later. After settling down the lineup in 1997 with Jan Hedin (vocals/guitar), Magnus Karlsson (guitar), Roger Kjellgren (bass), and Thomas Kristoffersson (drums), SummerSound Recordings eventually compiled a Happydeadmen best-of album to celebrate their ten-year existence. The fittingly titled Happydeadmen Classics: A Decade in Pop was released in January of 1999.
