Electric Boys - Mary In The Mystery World


The Electric Boys are a funk metal band founded in Sweden in 1988, which enjoyed a cult status in Europe at the end of the decade. Electric Boys formed by Conny Bloom (guitar/vocals) and Andy Christell (bass). As a duo they scored a local Swedish hit with the single "All Lips and Hips" in 1988.
Then a second guitarist Franco Santunione and drummer Niklas Sigevall joined the band and in 1989, the EB's debut album Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride, including a new version of "All Lips and Hips" and they had great success in Europe.
EB released 3 albums and when the grunge wave hit the globe and the interest for this type of music didn't attract enough the band decided to dissolved. In 2005, founders Bloom and Christell had joined Hanoi Rocks.
The band reformed in 2009, really looking forward to hear some new stuff from these guys.
They will do some live shows during this summer, including some festivals like Sweden Rock Festival next weekend.

Todays tune is from their 2nd album "Groovus Maximus" released in 1992, album was recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London,
Enjoy!
