Baby Grandmothers
Baby Grandmothers were a short-lived Swedish band, but one of the most prolific and unique psychedelic, modal, experimental power-trios to emerge out of the Scandinavian psychedelic underground-scene in 1967. Although hailing from Stockholm, Sweden they only released a single in Finland, which has since become one of the most sought after pieces of vinyl from the era.
Baby Grandmothers were formed out of the legendary R&B / beat band T-Boones in the summer of 1967. T-Boones are probably best known for their “At the club/King of the Orient” single which is one of the best, and most collectable, out of the Swedish garage beat-era. Guitar-wiz Kenny Håkansson joined *T-Boones* in 1965and with the group down to a trio they drifted into the psychedelic sounds of the time and in August 1967 released their groundbreaking single “I Want You”, which definitely was Sweden's first hard-rock recording ever made.
The band was then re-christened Baby Grandmothers by *the co-founder* of Filips - a newly opened psychedelic club that needed a house-band. Filips was renowned as a breeding ground for bands such as Hansson & Karlsson, Pärson Sound, as well as orgiastic all night jams with foreign luminaries such as Jimi Hendrix and The Mothers Of Invention.
