Doktor Kosmos

Doktor Kosmos is a pop band best characterized by the unique style of their humoristic lyrics. The lyrics often have social or political themes, and the band is communist, although not above making fun of their own radical opinions.

One of the gimmicks of the band is recurring characters in their songs. One of these is "Doktor Kosmos" himself ("Doktor Kosmos" simply means "Doctor Cosmos" in Swedish). Doktor Kosmos is at the same time the stage name for the band's front man Uje Brandelius.

History

Doktor Kosmos was created in 1991 in Uppsala. The original line-up was Uje Brandelius (synth, vocals), Martin Aag?rd (guitar), Lina Selleby (vocals) and Catti Larson (vocals). Soon afterwards, Henrik H?gberg joined the band on drums.

In 1995, the band released their first album, Socialmedicin. It was followed by Stj?rnjerry in 1996. Stj?rnjerry is a rock opera that tells the story of a young man, "Stj?rnjerry", who gets into trouble. He owes his drug dealer money and when he can't pay, he buys a gun and shoots the dealer. The story continues in "Evas Story", in which we follow Jerry's Girlfriend, M?rdarbruden Eva (The Killer Chick Eva).
