Träd, Gräs & Stenar ("Trees, Grass and Stones") is a Swedish rock band formed in 1969. The group was one of the front acts of the Swedish progg scene, although noticeably less political than their contemporary counterparts.
Just in time for Trad Gras och Stenar 40th-anniversary the Swedish psychedelic trance-rock pioneers releases a new album - Homeless Cats. The first one in seven years and the seventh since the singing start in 1969. Eleven new boundless tracks with organic music for open minds. The records are produced by Gåshud in cooperation with Subliminal Sounds
Back in 1967 the guitarist Bo Anders Persson had already started his Terry Riley-inspired underground band Parson Sound with the bass player Torbjorn Abelli and drummer Thomas Mera Gartz, amongst others. They evolved into International Harvester, then Harvester, and finally striking root as Trad Gras och Stenar in 1969. The following year they arranged, end performed at, the legendary Swedish Gardes-festivals that pioneered the Swedish alternative music movement.
Trad Gras och Stenar celebrated thier 40th-anniversary and the new release of Homeless Cats at The Strand, Stockholm yesterday. Lisa & Piu was the opening act and did well.
Tgs delivered a great show and i got a chance to see the new guitarist Reine Fiske (Dungen) that took over after Bo Anders left and yes he was there as well, sitting in the bar watching his old team mates playing some great music.
I also bought the new album "Homeless Cats" and i do like it, they included the nice cover of "Punkrocker" that you can listen on here.
Other songs that i really liked on the new album is Sommardisco and Svärmors brudpolska.
Those tunes really show who still is kings of the proggs :)
