International Harvester

International Harvester just played out together for 3 years, the 1st less than another name, however they were an important group for Swedish intensifying rock. While producing sonic tests and deep excursions into psychedelic rock and roll, their biggest contribution was most likely that these were the foundation which the greater popular group Träd, Gräs och Stenar was constructed. International Harvester began as the short-lived experimental group Pärsson Audio. The group shaped in 1967 in Stockholm by guitarist Bo Anders Persson and included cello participant Ericsson and violinist Yman, both having a musical education and playing on home made electric tools. Saxophonist Tidholm was a film college student and a poet, drummer Gantz got used the intensifying dance orchestra Mecki Tag Men, and sometimes the music group also included a supplementary drummer, Berger. Pärsson Audio was primarily an instrumental group and their music had not been very accessible. Sometimes they allow a tape move two tape recorders on stage, one saving and one playing, which supposed the music came back, overdubbed and distorted within an raising mass of shades and sound. They played several gigs on the membership Filips, the primary spot for intensifying rock and roll in Stockholm, and began to obtain even more well-known after a celebration in Kungsträdgården, where Don Cherry and Peps Persson also performed. In 1968 they transformed their name to International Harvester and empty the most severe sonic experiments, rather putting the concentrate on folk music and psychedelic rock and roll. Tidholm’s vocals had been allowed even more space and in stressing the collective and improvising factor, the band provided a hint of what would include Träd, Gräs och Stenar a couple of years later. Living jointly within a collective, they produced films and constructed music, like the soundtrack for a couple professional movies. On ?-jvind Fahlströms’ Du Gamla du Fria, the music group made and improvised all of the music as the surveillance cameras were moving. The debut record Sov Gott Rose-Marie premiered in 1968 on Appreciate, a Finish label, since there have been no Swedish choice labels around no industrial labels had been interested. But currently in 1969 choice labels had began to pop-up, and with the name shortened to Harvester the music group released their second record, Hemåt, on Decibel. Later on that yr, Tidholm and Yman remaining. Tidholm formed Popular Young boys but was to be most well-known like a poet and a author of takes on and children’s books. The rest of the members shaped Träd, Gräs och Stenar and toured Scandinavia intensely for a couple of years, taking the thought of interactivity one stage further by relating to the viewers in the music producing. With a weather significantly receptive for psychedelic music Träd, Gräs och Stenar had been more lucrative than International Harvester, but in any other case they had very much in keeping, building on components of psychedelic rock and roll, blues-rock, and folk music.
