about
There are two artists sharing the name Blond: 1) Blond are an indie / pop / las vegas glamour band from Chemnitz, Germany. Band members are Johann Bonitz, Lotta and Nina Kummer. 2) Formed in Gothenberg, Sweden, in 1964, as the Tages Skiffle Band, this versatile act originally comprised of Tommy Blon (lead vocals), Danne Larsen (guitar, vocals), Anders Topel (guitar, vocals), Goran Lagerberg (bass, vocals) and Freddie Skantze (drums). Skantze was succeeded by Tommy Tausis in 1966 and then by Lasse Svensson in 1967. Having become known simply as the Tages, they became one of Sweden's leading beat groups with a number of excellent singles. Several were cover versions of US and UK hits, notably "I'll Be Doggone" and "Crazy 'Bout My Baby" (both 1966), while their debut album revealed an affinity for R&B with strong readings of "Dimples" and "I Got My Mojo Workin'".Sadly the Tages were unable to repeat their Scandinavian success and Tommy Blon opted to leave the line-up. He began a short-lived solo career. The remaining musicians took a new name Blond, but they split up in 1970. Only Goran Lagerberg remained active in music; he joined a succession of progressive rock-styled bands, none of which matched the highlights achieved by the Tages.
