About the show
After fifteen years away from Swedish stages, Doktor Kosmos is back this fall.
13 Swedish cities from Umeå to Malmö will be visited by the band.
– Why have you been away from the spotlight?
– We have been in prison.
– What have you been doing during these years?
– Been in prison. And built a deck.
– Have you really been in prison?
– No.
– What are you most looking forward to on the tour?
– To experience the soothing silence in the tour bus when we pass Upplands Väsby and have run out of conversation topics. To nod off in the bus seat with a mazarin in hand. To come to new cities and explore the magazine section at the local library. In short: all the things that were the very reason for starting a band in the first place.
– Is it the unbeatable feeling of going on stage and meeting the audience, is that the feeling you live for as a musician and what makes you keep going year after year?
– Yes.
– Do you think you still have an audience?
– No. But we have a guaranteed fee, so it's really not our concern.
– What can the audience expect? Will it be a mix of old and new?
– No. It will be a mix of old and very old.
Doktor Kosmos was formed in Uppsala in 1991 and is celebrating 31 years as a band this year. All the band's members have lived in Stockholm for many years. Doktor Kosmos has made seven full-length albums, and the latest, 'Hej Alla Barn,' was released in 2019. The band's frontman, Uje Brandelius, made a celebrated and critically acclaimed performance in 2016 called 'Spring, Uje, Spring.' It played to full houses across the country and led to a film of the same name directed by Henrik Schyffert. The entire band appears in the film, which has won several awards, including three Guldbagge Awards for Best Film, Screenplay, and Leading Actor at the 2021 gala.
Doktor Kosmos' personnel has remained the same for the past twenty years and consists of:
Uje Brandelius, vocals, synth
Lina Selleby, vocals, percussion
