Skellefteå, Sweden (1988 – 2009)
The Wannadies were an alternative rock band formed in 1988 in Skellefteå, Sweden.
The bands initial line-up featured Pär Wiksten (vocals, guitars), Christina Bergmark (keyboards, vocals), Stefan Schönfeldt (guitars) and his younger brother Frederick Schönfeldt (bass) with Gunnar Karlsson (drums) and Björn Malmquist (violin). Karlsson was later replaced by Erik Dahlgren.
Early influences included Australian band The Go-Betweens as well as The Sisters of Mercy.
The band released six studio albums in their 21 year career including the commercially successful Be A Girl (1994) and Bagsy Me (1997).
Part-way through recording their seventh studio album the band officially announced their split in April 2009 with Pär Wiksten going solo.

Got Skellefteå back in '99 (I think!), gorgeous album. I think it's there only album in English. Black Waters was my anthem for those long cold autumn nights.

What kind of genre is 'Swedish?' Is there a style of music known as 'Swedish?', do they sound like the Swedish Death Metal bands? Yeah, I know it's because they're from Sweden and all... Some of these tags on last.fm are kind of absurd and describe very little to nothing.
