Tant Strul was one of the more significant Swedish New Wave/Punk bands and were founded 1980 by Kärsti (vox), Liten (bass), Kajsa (guitar), Malena (keys), Mikael (drums) and Göran (guitar) in Stockholm. Kajsa Grytt's plays a short time in a band called Kasern 9 which later changed its name to Pink Champagne. Tant Strul made its first debut with the single Pappas Tant which contained nice two wavie goodies. Kärsti left the band after the first two singles to become a photographer, and Mikael after the first LP (1982) and replaced with Nike Markelius. After the second album Amason (1983) was Sebastian (cello/guitar) member of the group. After the 3rd record 'Jag Önskar Dig' (1984) the group split after one last gig at Roskilde Festival 1985. During autumn 2004 they reunited the band for gigs in Stockholm and once in Gothenburg, and the spring of 2005 was a third reunion in Stockholm. Since 2011 the group plays here and there a few concerts. Musically shallower New Wave Pop which wants nothing evil.
