Light Returns!

As light returns, Fibes, Oh Fibes! are back. Fibes, Oh Fibes! have reformed, they started off as a six piece band but today they've ended up being only three members; Christian Olsson, the obvious general on vocals and piano, Mathias Nilsson on guitar and Edvin Edvinson on bass. Originally the bands music was based on the songs that Christian had written in his apartment in Pristina, Kosovo during his years there. Nowadays Christian and Mathias writes all the songs together, often on trips around the world. 

On the new album "1987" Fibes, Oh Fibes! have collaborated with artists, songwriters and producers such as Kim Wilde, Björn Skifs (Blue Swede), Gary Kemp (Spandau Ballet), Pontus and Petter Winnberg (Madonna, Britney Spears, Maroon 5) and Oskar Linnros (Veronica Maggio). It's an interesting clash, to say the least. 

- "C'mon guys!!!" This is the stage manager of Lionel Richie shouting at Fibes, Oh Fibes! The band is being several minutes late up on stage in Globen in Stockholm as supporting act for Lionel on his world tour. Christian has just disappeared, having suffered from a nervous breakdown. 10 000 people are waiting in the audience. This is in April, 2007, just over half a year after the album "Emotional" has been praised in almost all Swedish media. 

A short while after the concerts with Lionel Richie, Christian flees and ends up in Los Angeles where he plays piano in miscellaneous bars, trying to find his way back to something valuable. He sings duets with the prima donna Sonja Kimmons and after having played the song "LA Girls" in one of those bars he is persuaded by the only surviving member of the band Lynyrd Skynyrd to start writing songs again. In these bars the embryo for "Love Child" is born.
