History

Imperial State Electric imperialstateelectricseisewpcontentuploads2

After the break-up of The Hellacopters in 2008, Andersson started to work on a solo album, recording all instruments of eight songs by himself, however Andersson changed his mind and decided that it would be better to form a band. Andersson recruited Dolf de Borst, Tobias Egge and Tomas Eriksson, all of whom he had previously worked with in Cold Ethyl a cover band he formed shortly after the break-up of The Hellacopters. During the recording of the band's self-titled album Andersson also enlisted help from several old friends, including Dregen, Anders Lindström, Robert Pehrsson and Neil Leyton. While Andersson insists that Imperial State Electric is a band and not a solo career or a side project he also acknowledges the fact that the band might have a revolving line-up of members including himself on drums instead of guitar.
