Acid House Kings is a Swedish indie pop band, founded in 1991 by Joakim Ödlund(also in the bands Poprace, Double Dan, and Starlet) and brothers Niklas Angergård (Red Sleeping Beauty) and Johan Angergård(Club 8, The Legends, Poprace). The band recorded their first songs that year and sent them only to one label, the German pop label Marsh Marigold. A few months later their debut single “Play pop! EP” was released.
In 1992, Acid House Kings started a 10 year plan: a trilogy of albums with one album released exactly every 5th year. Each album was to be filled with catchy guitar pop songs but with new themes and a growing maturity from album to album. The first album in trilogy was the twee “Pop, Look and Listen!” released on Marsh-marigold in 1992. The album was followed by the 6-track ep “Monaco G.P.” and a European tour in 1994.
With the 2nd part of Acid House Kings album trilogy, the band wanted to create catchy quality pop (a bit like The Smiths for summmers days instead of lonely autumn nights locked up in your room). That album was “Advantage Acid House Kings”. The band changed labels for this album to Shelflife in the US and Harmony in Japan. On this album, singer Julia Lannerheim was introduced in the band as a guest singer on a couple of songs. The album was released in rather small quantities and sold out quickly. It’s now been re-released by Labrador Records.
