Began a band

Johan Johansson , Mats Nilsson and Pekka Kangas began a band called “Ingenting” (Swedish for “nothing”). Their first and only gig was at Österholmsskolan in Skärholmen. In the autumn of 1977, most of the members of Ingenting went to Skärholmens Gymnasium, and discovered that if one worked with a project, like a band, one would not have to go to all of the classes. “Skärholmens Gymnasiums Punkensemble” was started; since many students did not want to go to class, the band quickly grew. After a chaotic gig in the aula in Skärholmens Gymnasium with 15 band members, of which 5 were singers, the project “Skärholmens Gymnasiums Punkensemble” was over. The singers Stephan “Steppan” Guiance and Michael Alonzo, drummer Johan Johansson, and bassist Matte Nilsson continued and became the only constant members of KSMB, as the band was renamed in 1978. KSMB is an acronym that stands for “Kurt-Sunes med Berit”, a name taken from a sketch in the radio program Hemma hos .
