H O U S E W I F E L O V E R S

Biography
H O U S E W I F E L O V E R S was formed in the fall of 2003 by Henric Claesson and Andreas Andersson at a party in Malmö by the sounds of Grandaddy. A four track cd was recorded in Kafka studios, a brilliant electropearl packed in a coffefilter. In october Swedens major music magazine hypes H O U S E W I F E L O V E R S. Later that month Houswife lovers play their first live show at a party in Kulladal, Malmö. They use a karaokemachine as soundsystem and plays along with their drummachine.
In early 2004 Petrus Lilja joins as permanent drumer. P3 demo (Swedish national radio) plays Housewife lovers. New songs is recorded in Kafka studios by permanent producer Erik Nylén.
Spring 2005 Kristoffer Lilja joins as guitarist, also playing the synthesizer. During 2005 Housewife lovers releases the singles Heute and Pandavision. In 2007 a five track cd is recorded that contains the hit single Dancing. Dancing is followed by touring in the area round Copenhagen and Malmö. Later in the fall of 2007 Tobias Lilja remixes Dancing, H O U S E W I F E L O V E R S is now releasing a 10" EP on Eckworks.

Live report:
Packed with confidence, Housewife Lovers entered the stage and blew the crowd away. Sure, their minimalist postpunk sometimes becomes an end in itself, but what a ride it is! The brilliant little tunes with high pitched falsetto vocals are certainly proof of greater things to come and I imagine that the talk around town will increase after shows like these. The take of having Tobias Lilja do a remix on "Dancing" is a smart move, especially since it's a damn good original song as well. It even got some parts of the crowd doing just what the song title says! The flirtations with Bob Hund are there as well as, to some extent, The Make Up. The wonderfully intense "Weapons and guns" is disarming and kind of gives you a feeling of how the meeting between The Velvet Underground and The Posies would sound like. All in all; three guitars, one drum kit and vocals is sometimes all it takes to create indie magic
