Flowers in The Air
Malmo, Sweden
Bio:
Flowers in the Air is a pop band from Gothenburg, featuring John Holmlund, vocals and Bastian Pabst guitars and other instruments. Neither Johan Holmlund nor Bastian Pabst are newcomers on the music scene. While Bastian has been working in the background as a producer, songwriter and musician, Johan made a name for himself in Sweden as well as overseas as the frontman of Easy, the first Swedish indie pop group to be aknowledged in the UK. Easy can rightly be credited to have kick-started the whole Swedish indie scene just when the 1980’s became the 1990’s. They ended up on the Brittish label Blast First together with Sonic Youth and Dinosaur JR and they toured all over Europe with The Charlatans, The Jesus and Mary Chain and other divinities. After more than a decade of laying low, 2010 was the start of a new phase for Johan. Easy made their live comeback on summer festivals, Johan published a collection of poetry (“I am the monster”) and Flowers in the Air entered the stage for the first time in their home town Gothenburg.
