The Repeatles started life in 1997 in Arnie Brox's garage in west
Stockholm, where he and Janne Borgh rehearsed Beatle songs to play at some friends' wedding. The story could've
ended there but somehow
it didn't...
13 years and some 400 gigs later they are cruising along in their 14th year
together, with fellow band members Peter Beckman and Steve Kling, towards an unknown future... The future
is unwritten thank God, but we know this:
the Repeatles have
become closer, tighter and
better than ever thanks to the best school in the world, life.
"We're
painting pictures, that never dries, trying to
keep the feeling alive..."
Since 2003 the band have played more abroad than in their home country, Sweden.
Largely thanks to International
Beatleweek in Liverpool and connections made there, the band have had the
opportunity to tour and play in South America,
USA, Canada, Belgium, Finland and the UK. Sure, they have a following in Sweden
and always pull a crowd of die-hard fans,
but
internationally is where the Repeatles' brand of "tribute-acting" works best. Apart from playing around 150 Beatle songs and a good 100 more from such
favorites as The Who, The Kinks, The Hollies,
Monkees, The Byrds, The Rolling Stones, Yardbirds,
Zombies and more, they also
write, record and (sometimes) perform
original material. To anyone who has ever had the pleasure of catching these guys in
a club or on a big stage somewere in the universe,
thanks for keeping the Power Pop and the Maximum R&B alive...
