The Wannadies were an alternative rock band formed in 1988 in Skellefteå, northern Sweden. The band's initial line-up featured Pär Wiksten (vocals, guitars), Christina Bergmark (born 1 March 1963) (keyboards, vocals), Stefan Schönfeldt (born 5 June 1965) (guitars) and his younger brother Fredrik Schönfeldt (bass) with Gunnar Karlsson (drums) and Björn Malmquist (violin). The group split in 2009 with singer Pär Wiksten going solo until 2016 when the band did a one off reunion at a festival.
Links To Peel[]
Peel wasn't a fan of the band until Alison, the producer, gave him their single, 'Hit', which featured a remix by 3 Colours Red, which he listened too and mentioned the track as a great pop single on his 01 April 1997 show. No other tracks from the band seemed to be played by him.
