Robert Bush

voc, SE
Singer of Electronic, Dance and Pop

Robert Bush started his musical career as a singer in Swedish punk combo Anus in 1978. They were locally successful but more of a happening than a real group as their musical skills were below average and the band rather drank beer than rehearsed. In 1979 Robert heard Gary Numan and immediately felt that synthersizers was his thing, quickly forming a synth-pop band called Plaza. They made several live performances and studio sessions but nothing was released on vinyl. After short appearances in less successful groups, Robert, while working as a radio DJ, formed Sob! Sob! together with Magnus Nelson in 1983. This became a musical relationship lasting until the early 90's when Nelson moved out of town. During this time Robert Bush also released "Me, Myself and I", a cassette with 12 piano tunes. He set up a studio in his home in 1994 and made a mixture of techno and ambient music which resulted in the 5-track EP Myrtorp in 1996. Constantly adding new equipment while not throwing out the old gear, Robert Bush made minimal house and more abstract music as side projects, which resulted in EPs Probe, Smeby and SW13. In 2009 he found his niche with the type of electronica he's known for today and the debut album Upskirted was released. In 2010 the follow-up, Downbloused, saw the light of day. Robert Bush is now residing in Bangkok where he, while making new tracks, works with Thai bands as songwriter and producer.
