Dag Vag

Exactly like Docenterna, who formed 2 yrs later on, Dag Vag used the punk influx to release themselves. They required a punk name and released just one single punk solitary before embracing option pop. But where Docenterna began to perform catchy contemporary pop, keeping a number of the punk attitude, Dag Vag’s primary affects could be within the Swedish intensifying movement, among rings like Träd, Gräs & Stenar, aswell such as globe music and reggae. These affects were then utilized to create a thing that was still quite definitely pop. If not really unique, it had been at least uncommon in the Swedish rock and roll picture in the ’80s. Dag Vag also have meant very much for Swedish substitute music in offering a connecting connect to the ’70s where most ’80s rings chose to convert their backs in the preceding 10 years. Per Odeltorp, aka Stig Vig, was the first choice of the music group Hottentots, which progressed into Dag Vag. Initially, they known as themselves Dag Vag & Svagsinta, but following the initial one they shortened it to Dag Vag. A musical transformation also occurred, from punk to reggae-influenced pop, because they scored popular using a cover of Anita Lindblom’s “Sånt är Livet.” Dag Vag acquired already produced a name for themselves in choice circles when their full-length debut premiered in 1979. The record held the reggae affects, but also demonstrated traces of brand-new influx. Brynn Settels, aka Bumpaberra, remaining the group briefly and Malin Bäckström was changed by Kenny Håkansson for the documenting from the live recording Scenbuddism, and after big achievement with their following studio recording, the music group decided to make an effort to promote themselves overseas. But their just single in British, “GET RID OF,” was a complete failure. Next, a fresh recording (7 Lyckliga Elefanter) in Swedish premiered. Settels experienced rejoined the music group after using Peps Persson and experienced brought with him percussionist Per Tjärnborg. Chances are that it had been both of these who required the African affects a step additional from your reggae rhythms on previous albums that were used to generate pop, a number of the tunes on this recording were genuine Afro-pop with Swedish lyrics as well as the reggae affects were more powerful than ever. The record is often viewed as Dag Vag’s creative peak, and was also a industrial success that produced the music group among the best-selling in Sweden. The next record sold as much, however in 1983 the group disbanded. Vig produced Amazing Speedboats, while Johan Zachrisson began a solo profession as Zilversurfarn. In 1988, Dag Vag reunited and in 1989 they released Helq. This record had not been as effective as the previous two so when Zachrisson transferred to Portugal another year, the music group lost swiftness. Zachrisson came back to be a part of the documenting of Halleluja!, but quickly thereafter the group’ times being a executing and recording device came to a finish — until reuniting in 2006. Nevertheless, in later on life Vig experienced from kidney complications and started a routine of daily dialysis in 2003 until finding a kidney transplant many years later on. Vig passed away in his house on January 23, 2012.
