Sporten Är Död

Sporten Är Död (translated as Sport Is Dead) were an all female Swedish new wave/punk band between 1980 and 1982 formed in Kungälv, Sweden. The group consisted of Ulla Åkerström (Guitar and vocals), Eva Herngren (Drums) and Åsa "Paste" Wassberg (Bass). The band were named after the words of a Swedish broadcaster, who would proclaim the sport is dead, when there was a cancellation of a sporting event.
