The Stockholm band South Ambulance
was formed in late 2003 by Pietu Kaipainen, Daniel Filipsson,
Robin Spurrier & Daniel Gamba, with the ambition to write
good music on Saturdays and record it on Sundays. In November
the same year, four songs were caught on tape and the band was
offered to do their first live set at a club in Stockholm. The
audience was happy, Swedish radio started to play the music and
magazines wrote nice words so the band decided to put out their
ep#1 on cd-r. “Die 5times times5”, their first recording, was
spread on the internet and became kind of a hit in Sweden. During
2004 south ambulance did gigs, recorded more songs, participated
on compilations and released ep#2 & ep#3, still with great
support from fans, radio and magazines.
In January 2005 friend & percussion/keyboard player Stefan
Lindström joined the band. Sonic magazine put “Saturdays
for sad excuses” on their compilation sonically speaking. More
concerts, radio airplay and song writing led the band to finally
sell its soul and sign with Labrador. Their first album was released
on the 23rd of march 2005. When this biography was written south
ambulance just finished their recording of the pale saints song
“kinky love” which will be on an English indie cover compilation
published by London based AC30. South ambulance may not be a Sunday
band anymore. |
