Swedish Erotica

Former members of Swedish Erotica have played with Yngwie Malmsteen, TNT, Vinnie Vincent, Treat, Black Ingvars, Shotgun Messiah, John Norum, Talisman and King Diamond.

They joined forces with Dag Ingebrigtsen, a former vocalist of the Norwegian band TNT, bassist Ulf "Ken" Sandin and drummer Dennis Nybratt.

This line-up played on a Norwegian album of Christmas themed rock songs with various vocalists: "The Grønne Glitrende 3 Og Dag".

Edman soon left the band to sing in former Europe guitarist John Norum's solo project, where he sang on the album Total Control (1987).

After living in Los Angeles in 1988, where they hung out with among others Kee Marcello and Stevie Nicks and met with several record companies, eventually Swedish Erotica, now only consisting of guitarists Axx and Le Fay and bassist D'Fox were signed to Virgin Records Swedish office, thanks to A&R representative Donna Simmons,[3] based on the strength of the band's demos with Edman singing.

Second single, "Wild Young & Free," reached high on the charts but the album was not available in the stores for two months when demand peaked due to a pressing factory strike, which led to reduced sales and lack of success for the band.

Levén felt that Virgin did not anticipate a successful career for Swedish Erotica, and he also wanted to move to Treat's hometown of Stockholm, so he began to consider leaving the band.

Later Jonas Tångström was replaced on bass, first by Terry Barajas who later became the drummer in Abysmal Dawn and then by a returning Ken Sandin, a former member of bands Alien and Da Vinci.

This and the general musical climate dominated by grunge and alternative rock led to the Swedish Erotica finally disbanding in 1996.

Morgan Jensen moved on to a successful career as a writer in film and television,[7] Axx operated until early 2019 one of the most popular rock clubs in Sweden, Sticky Fingers in Gothenburg,[8] while Möller and Sandin remained musicians in various constellations over the years.

[9] A one-off reunion was announced for the 2024 Sweden Rock Festival with the line-up of Levén, Axx, Le Fay, Sandin and Borger.
