Gunder Hägg

Band, *1967 SE
Rock and World
A.k.a. Blå Tåget

Gunder Hägg was the band name for this group when they released their first longplaying (LP) on vinyl in 1969. But, first public appearence as a band together was earlier at the Andy Warhol exhibition at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden in February in 1968. They called themselves Tjalles Horizont on that occasion. During the rest of the spring in 1968, they toured using the band name Sound of Music. Torkel Rasmusson had written a vignette song called "Come to where the flavour is / come to Sound of Music", and accompanying the band was also Leif Nylén's wife, Elisabet Nylén, on cello on this mini-tour. In May in 1968, Urban Yman and Kjell Westling joined the group, and soon thereafter Gunder Hägg was formed. After a dispute with the former Swedish world track and field record holder in middle-distance, Gunder Hägg, the band name had to be changed. So from 1972, they called themselves Blå Tåget. Members in Gunder Hägg on all albums: Mats G. Bengtsson, Tore Berger, Leif Nylén, Torkel Rasmusson, Kjell Westling and Urban Yman.
