The Merrymakers are a Swedish based musical duo composed of Anders Hellgren and David Myhr, former members are Thomas Nyström, Kenneth Berg, Patrik Bergman and Peter Arffman. They have been making music together since the 1990s. Their major releases include "Andrew's store", "No Sleep 'til famous" and "Bubblegun." They have also written and produced songs for Puffy AmiYumi, Dorian Gray, Yuko Yamaguchi and Fujifabric. In March 2008 Anders Hellgren announced that work had begun on a new Merrymakers album, although that seems to have been put aside in favor of David Myhr's solo album, Soundshine, due to be released in 2011.
