(cover kindly served by Per Olov)The Friends
One of the many Scandinavian bands who took their inspiration from the Pretty Things in the mid-'60s. Little is known of this Swedish group, who released a few singles in 1965 and 1966. Their frenetic rock/R&B (sung entirely in English) was heavy on the snarling and somewhat accented vocals, accelerated tempos, and undisciplined guitar leads, and their recorded repertoire was mostly original.

Thankx mr. jancy & mr. pablo for this fantastic post.
I love that you are doing this! Nearly all of your uploads would be impossible to find otherwise!
/indebted thanks from Sweden
Well, well, needless to say, I appreciated the post very much. But isn't there an error in the list of the tracks ?
For me, it appears that a track has been forgotten between "I'm the Best" and "In The Mood". Any chance to get the title of the song ?
Anyway, lots of great songs here, thank you very much :)
Yes I have the same doubt Esmenard, Jancy need to tell us about it perhaps!
Let ask her
;)
Thanks Bomber!
The Friends we're from Stockholm Sweden!
Anders T Peedu (singer)
Roger Skogsberg (guitar)
Staffan Kimbro (bass)
Tomas Skogsberg (drummer)
They we're a rhythm 'n' blues group. They came in second place in a competion at Kingside, there they choose Swedens Rolling Stones.
You could also read about their young drummer, twelve year old Tomas Skogsberg. He wasn't allowed to play after eight in the evening.
They also did some kind of striptease on stage. Many musicians have named The Friends as one of the better Swedish groups.
oh thats interesting dear!
thanks for the info Per Olov!
You're welcome Bomber!

Here are a link to some more information about Friends and some othyer Swedish bands. Here is the link and there's also a picture of Friends: http://60spunk.m78.com/swedishbands.html

I do have some stuff of the Cons Combos that were here in Argentina too! did you know that right? an interesting story, got their original lp thats called "los fabulosos suecos" (translate the wonderful swedish) nice beat rock.
Hi Bomber!
No, I didn't know that the Cons Combos were in Argentina ás well, and released a record there. I haven't heard much with Cons Combos. I first heard the Friends and Panthers on Swedish radio in the early 1980's and after that I have been interested in Swedish garage and beat music from the 60's as well as garage bands from all over the world. I have a book about Swedish rock and pop from 1959-1969. My favourite Swedish bands from this era we're The Frinds, The Namelosers, Lea Riders Group, The T-Boones, Sooner Or Later (they even played in hamburg, at the Star Club), The Panthers, The Shakers, The Shakemakers, Bootjacks and Lee Kings. There's a very good record with this groups called "Searchin for shakes". That record are all ready posted at: http://swedish60s.blogspot.com/2008/10/02.html
