A.k.a. Marionet Cloud Catchers (2)

Marionet was a rock band hailing from Trollhättan (and later Gothenburg), Sweden. The band was around for the greater part of the 80s, between 1982 and 1990 to be precise.  The band´s line up underwent a few  changes  over the years, looking something like this:  Mark I: Dan Johansson - drums, Ove Flink - bass guitar, Martin Johansson - guitar, Göran Florström - lead vocals. Mark II: Dan Johansson - guitar, Ove Flink - bass guitar, Lars Merlin - drums, Mikael Bodling - keyboards,  Göran Florström - lead vocals. Mark III: Dan Johansson - guitar, Ove Flink - bass guitar, Lars Berger - drums, Mikael Bodling - keyboards,  Göran Florström - lead vocals. Marionet recorded a lot and released, well, at least some of it, mostly as 7 inch singles. The first release was a 12 inch single with the songs Agitation, Mental Orgasm and Blood-Shot Eyes (1984). Next release was the 7 inch single The Treadmill/Always (1986). 1987 saw the release of Waiting/Their Truth, also as a 7 inch record. The Hangman/Executed Feelings was out on a compilation called Four Singles (1988), so that was kind of a single as well. In between the band self-released a music cassette containing the songs Your Little Goldfish, Sink or Swim, There´s Always Someone and Hidden Colours. Late 1989 the band recorded a cover version of the Rolling Stones´ song We Love You, with Embraced as B-side. These songs were recorded as Marionet but when being released, 1990, the band went under an other moniker: Cloud Catchers. The saga of Marionet had come to an end.
