Acid House Kings
Singer/guitarist Niklas Angergård, his bassist brother Johan and guitarist Joakim Ödlund formed the Swedish twee-pop trio Acid House Kings in 1991, inspired by their shared disappointment over the breakup of Felt and common dissatisfaction with Morrissey's Kill Uncle album; signing to the German label Marsh Marigold, the group issued their debut EP Play Pop! in early 1992, followed later that year by the full-length Pop, Look & Listen! The group's rediscovery of childhood favorites the Pet Shop Boys informed 1994's Monaco G.P. EP; disappointed by the record's lack of chart success, Acid House Kings maintained a low profile for the next three years, finally resurfacing in 1997 with the single "Yes! You Love Me." Advantage Acid House Kings followed the next year, with the single "We're the Acid House Kings" closing out 1999. Niklas Angergård also played in the great Red Sleeping Beauty. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
