The Namelosers

The Namelosers were among the rowdier mid-Swedish ’60s rings, heavily influenced from the Uk Invasion sounds from the Rolling Rocks, Who, and Beatles. Regrettably, their documented repertoire consisted mainly of cover variations, most of them rather well-worn types at that, such as for example “What’d I State,” “Around and Around,” “Cash,” and “Hoochie Coochie Guy.” They found the interest of English and American enthusiasts, nevertheless, in the mid-’80s, when their two greatest tracks, “Property of the 1000 Dances” and “Do-Ao,” made an appearance on the good compilation Searchin’ for Shakes: Swedish Beat 1965-1968. Both of these songs had been enlivened by fuzzy acoustic guitar and an attitude much like those of the best possible mid-’60s English mod bands. Regrettably, the others of their information were regular if dynamic slogs through fundamental R&B-rock tunes, hindered by accented vocals. All their recordings, aswell as some unreleased types, were packaged collectively on the recording Fabulous Seems From Southern Sweden.
