PINK CHAMPAGNE - Vackra Pojke! 1982

There has probably not been a single article about Pink Champagne where the word "girl group" has not been mentioned. This is no exception. After all, there are not so many seriously ambitious girl bands. And Pink Champagne both looks and sounds like girls. In addition, they have interesting thoughts on the subject. The bands first album received good reviews, they're a very verbal group that knows what it wants and eagerly discusses how. There are high demands and plenty of self-criticism. It is important to say something, be entertaining and be believed. A bit useless basic info: Pink Champagne (first named Kasern 9) was a Swedish all girl combo in the 80s and consisted of Ann (vocals), Gunilla (bass), Karin (guitar) & Stina (drums). They released four 7Inches and two albums (via the MNW label) before breaking up in 1984. After that Karin and Ann went to Australia in 1987, Karin dated and became the domestic partner of Steve Kilbey of The Church and co-wrote their hit song ‘Under The Milkey Way’. Jansson and Kilbey also formed the band Curious (Yellow). Today she runs a yoga studio in Stockholm, writes poetry and music. Ann is married and has a son and a daughter. She is the manager of the Science Fiction Bookstore in Gamla Stan (old town of Stockholm). Stina started writing children's books and released a solo album in 2008. Vackra Pojke shines with eleven nuggets somewhere between PowerPop, New Wave and Punk... cool record!
