November (band)

November was a Swedish rock band formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1969 by Christer Stålbrandt, Richard Rolf and Björn Inge.

A mixture of some early Uriah Heep hits like "Bird of Prey" and "Easy Livin' ", Cream and Led Zeppelin, it was heavy, and blues based.

After their last concert at club Domino on New Year's Eve 1972, the band split up and had, up until 2007, only performed once, namely during the release party for the CD November-Live 1993 (recorded on tour in 1971) on 30 Nov 1993.

During these times, with a very loud (but not equally large) group of red agitators, who at daily basis through radio and television reached in particular the Swedish youth.

And it more or less was declared that all "Progg-music" was political and red ("standing on the working class' side"), while ABBA and dance music bands soon became the "commercial exception".

November was — thanks to acting in this era in Sweden — unavoidably loosely connected with the wider anti-Vietnam war hippie movement and liked to play hard rock fast.
