HARDDA KU HARDDA GEIT – Je får aller dans me' stårsom (Jämtängen Musik Produktion, 1981)


Swedish vocals
International relevance: -

A band centered around ex-Hemkört member H.P. Burman. Based in Uppsala but with Jämtland themes, Jämtland being a Northern Swedish region. Their name is in the Jämtland dialect meaning ”half cow, half goat”. Everything on their privately released debut album ”Je får aller dans me' stårsom” sounds like they're just fooling around and faking it. They're definitely more of a comedy act than a proper band. Their rock'n'roll pastiches are particularly irritating, with Swedish versions of ”Route 66” and ”Stand By Me” plus an insulting take on Graham Parker's ”New York Shuffle”. They must presume I'm a complete idiot to think this is fun.

Hardda Ku Hardda Geit made two more albums in the 80s. H.P. Burman also released a couple of solo albums.
