Notes:
The roots of Mando Diao date back to 1995 when Björn Dixgård and the former Mando Diao member Daniel Haglund were in a band called Butler. Band members came and went and four years later the rest of the current line-up decided to take that project more seriously. Björn Dixgård and Gustaf Norén locked themselves up in a summer house and spent 14 months writing songs. They claim the Beatles as their original source of inspiration. Actually, Gustaf joined after he and Björn had talked all night about them. The two renamed their band Mando Diao. According to the band, the name has no particular meaning, and it appeared to band member Björn Dixgård in a dream.The now-renamed band made their first public performances in the clubs of their hometown Borlänge in 1999. A local writer described them in an article as the best unsigned band he had ever seen. This was soon followed by a record deal with EMI Sweden. In 2002 their first album Bring 'Em In was released in Sweden. It contains early demo versions of their songs, partly recorded in the basement of keyboardist Daniel Haglund who left the band later in 2003. In 2003 the album was released internationally by MUTE label, along with their debut single "Sheepdog." As of 2004, the band is hailed enthusiastically by the music press as one of the most sanguine newcomer bands of the year. The album Hurricane Bar was released in 2004. Their third album Ode to Ochrasy was released in 2006. By the end of 2006 the band released a DVD called "Down in the Past". 'Ode to Ochrasy' was released in the UK through the Nettwerk label on 2nd April 2007 in a previously unreleased format including 4 bonus tracks. In October 2007 the band released their latest album, Never Seen The Light Of Day. They have announced to release a new album on February 20th 2009. The new album's title is Give Me Fire and the first single, titled Dance With Somebody, will be released January 16th 2009. As usual Björn and Gustaf wrote lyrics and music and the album is produced by Mando Diao and The Salazar Brothers (Salla and Masse). The new album is a rocky soundtrack with lots of melancholy, soul, heart and blood.Give Me Fire is the fifth studio album by Swedish band Mando Diao. Produced By Salla Salazar of hip hop group group The Latin Kings and his brother Masse.One of Mando Diao’s roadies knew the hip hop producing brothers and introduced Gustaf Norén to them. Norén says he originally approached The Salazar Brothers as he is a massive Latin Kings fan and wanted to get an autograph, but the visit ended with a recorded song. After sitting on the song for a while he played it for the other members of the band and they decided to record more tracks with Salle & Masse.Björn Dixgård says that the band has been very inspired by movies and television with this album and cites Quentin Tarantino and Twin Peaks. He also says that the producers record collection has been a source of inspiration as well.This album will be a danceable album with a strong focus on drums, bass and percussion. The final mix of the album will be done in Los Angeles.
