Svart

Music group formed by JS and Caiza Almén in March-April 1980. Played first concert end of May 1980. Recorded "SÅR" in September 1980 and the album "GRYNING" one year later (after CA and JS had broken away from second line-up). Played 10-15 concerts (all but first and last concert with second line-up) in Uppsala, Stockholm, Linköping, Lund, Malmö... Largest crowd: Dads Dancehall, spring 1981 - perhaps 300. Live recording exist on "HEARTWORK LIVE KLUBB 2000". The band broke up shortly after the release of the album at the end of 1981. Last concert played at club "BERLIN", Stockholm November 1981. Petter Eklund and Ola Jameson who met in last line-up would soon go on to form what would become "Webstrarna", together with Sten Tjäder. From 2005 JS has worked intermittently on "re-constructions" of original 1980-81 era songs, with the view to eventually releasing a new album. In 2012, five of these songs were premiered as part of the exhibition "UPPSALA | MORGON", in Uppsala.
