Mando Diao is a garage rock band from Borlänge, Sweden.
The 2:nd one of Artists at W.T.A.I
The roots of Mando Diao date back to 1995 when Björn Dixgård and the former Mando Diao-member Daniel Haglund were in a band called Butler. Band members came and went and four years later the rest of the current line-up decided to take that project more seriously. Björn Dixgård and Gustaf Norén locked themselves up in a summer house and spent 14 months writing songs. They claim the Beatles as their original source of inspiration. Actually, Gustaf joined after he and Björn had talked all night about them. The two renamed their band Mando Diao. According to the band, the name has no particular meaning, and it appeared to band member Björn Dixgård in a dream.
