Borlänge, Sweden (1999 – present)
Mando Diao are a rock band from Borlänge, Sweden. According to the band, the name Mando Diao has no meaning at all, but rather appeared to band member Björn Dixgård in a dream. Their sound is influenced by The Animals and Oasis.
The roots of Mando Diao date back to 1995 when Björn Dixgård was a member of a band called Butler. Band members came and went; four years later, the remaining line-up chose to proceed more seriously in their musical efforts. Björn Dixgård and Gustaf Norén locked themselves up in a summer house and spent six months writing songs. The now-renamed band, along with Samuel Giers and Carl-Johan Fogelklou, made their first public performances in the clubs of their hometown Borlänge in 1999. A local writer described them in an article as the best unsigned band he had ever seen. This was soon followed by a record deal with EMI Sweden. In 2002 their first album Bring ‘Em In was released in Sweden. It contains early demo versions of their songs, partly recorded in the basement of keyboarder Daniel Haglund who left the band later in 2003. In 2003 the album was released internationally, along with their debut single
Sheepdog. In 2004, Mats Bjorke officially joined the band to replace Daniels departure. In the same year, the band is hailed enthusiastically by the music press as one of the most sanguine newcomer bands of the year. The album Hurricane Bar was released in 2005. Their third album, released in Europe and Japan in September, 2006 is called Ode To Ochrasy, which the band say has a “darker” feel, and features the single Long Before Rock ‘n’ Roll.

They had good albums... but that is lone gone - I pretty much like the Hurricane Bar and the Bring 'Em In album. They're like Bon Jovi (good analogy :), his good days are lone gone, too! A hate radio "rock" like Mando Diao, Nickelback, Bon Jovi, Creed etc.

@Maxxmann Du hast wohl vergessen, dass Mando Diao sehr von sich überzeugt sind. Selbst Gustaf sagt doch, dass Mando Diao die Beste Band der Welt sind. Da gehört einfach zu der Attitüde der Band. Außerdem könnte da auch was dran sein. Die Band gehört zu den besten Live Bands überhaupt.
