Mando Diao Information
|
|
'Mando Diao' is a garage rock band from Borlé¤nge, Sweden. According to the band, the name Mando Diao has no meaning at all, but rather appeared to band member Björn Dixgård in a dream.
The band was founded and made their first public performance in 1999. In 2002 their first studio album Bring 'Em In was released in Sweden. In 2003 the album was released internationally, 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 2005.
The band supported The Bravery on their most recent tour in 2005, along with Los Angeles band The Colour.
