    Artist History
    Started out as a jam session in 1997.Every friday Mårten, Sebastian, Petrus and Erik, jammed the blues and drank beer before going out.One day Sebastiàn bought a hammond organ, and pretty soon after that, Ola Joined us.We had our first gig in Kumla,October 97.At the same time we got the name Down good rider from a song of Led Belly, called "No good rider".Jens joined us in the summer of 1998. we made a perfect match.The summer of 98 was full of cool gigs, and we really got ourselves a name.The first real recording that ended up in a cd, was "Warcry" late summer of 1998. It contained obvious hits like "She`s the wind" and "Warcry".More gigs...Recently we released "Project sign".Mårten left the band just before the "Project-sessions",wich we of course thought of as a great loss at first.Alltough it forced us to create in a whole new dimension.We have developed a more exclusive sound with less POP in it. We have discovered darker places in our musical vocabulary,and do now have something wich others do not have:Lack of love.....In the early summer of 2000 Jens (our bass player) dropped the band and now Johan Grundstöm play the bass...
