Rls Notes
Baby Grandmothers were a short-lived Swedish
band, but one of the most prolific and unique
psychedelic, modal, experimental power-trios
to emerge out of the Scandinavian psychedelic
underground-scene in 1967. Although hailing
from Stockholm, Sweden they only released a
single in Finland, which has since become one
of the most sought after pieces of vinyl from
the era. Baby Grandmothers were formed out of
the legendary R&B / beat band T-Boones in the
summer of 1967. T-Boones are probably best
known for their At the club/King of the
Orient single which is one of the best, and
most collectable, out of the Swedish garage
beat-era. Guitar-wiz Kenny Hakansson joined
the band in 1965and with the group down to a
trio they drifted into the psychedelic sounds
of the time and in August 1967 released the
single I Want You, which definitely was the
first hard-rock recording ever made in
Sweden. The band was then re-christened Baby
Grandmothers by the co-founder of the newly
opened psychedelic club Filips, for which he
needed a house-band. Filips was the legendary
breeding ground for bands such as Hansson &
Karlsson, Parson Sound, as well as orgiastic
all night jams with foreign luminaries such
as Jimi Hendrix and the Mothers of Invention.
Baby Grandmothers also supported Jimi Henrix
on his Swedish tour in 1968 and then turned
into Mecki Mark Men, who became the first
Swedish rock band to tour the US. Founding
member Kenny Hakansson went on to form the
highly influential Kebnekajse, who created
the Swedish electric folk psych sound. This
unique collection brings live-recordings made
at Filips, their impossibly rare single and a
rare live recording made in Finland.
