Club 8 is a Swedish musical group, consisting of Karolina Komstedt (from the band Poprace) and Johan Angergård (Acid House Kings, Poprace). ==History== Formed in 1995, Club 8 were signed to the Spanish record label, Siesta. They released a single called "Me Too" and an album called ''Nouvelle'' with an anorak pop sound. In 1998, their second album ''The Friend I Once Had'' and the single "Missing You" were released. "Missing You" become a club and radio hit in Spain and somewhat of a college radio favorite in the US. The band started playing live. Their first gig was in New York at a March Records CMJ event in 1999. Their sound had by now developed into a more bossa nova and dance oriented one. In 2001, Club 8's sound moved toward chill out and trip hop on its third, self-titled album. In the autumn of 2001, the band members used Stockholm's Summersound Studios, writing songs and experimenting with Dub, C-86, trip hop, chill out, 1980s, and bossa nova sounds. The resulting album, released in 2002, is named ''Spring Came, Rain Fell''. The 2003 follow-up album, ''Strangely Beautiful'', peaked at number 18 on the CMJ charts in the US. For the first time since 1999, the band released a single from the album and a corresponding video. Backed by five exclusive tracks, the song "Saturday Night Engine" was released as a single in the spring of 2003. The video made it to number 16 on the ''Up North'' chart on MTV Nordic. Afterward, Angergård formed a band called The Legends, which recorded three albums between 2004 and 2006. He also helped make an Acid House Kings album in 2005. In 2007, Club 8 released its sixth album ''The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming'' on Labrador. Club 8's album, ''The People's Record'', was released May 18, 2010 and was produced by Jari Haapalainen. A new album was scheduled to be out on 21 May 2013, per the officially posted video of the new single "Stop Taking My Time" by labradorrecords on YouTube, and was titled ''Above The City''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Club 8」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
