Bitch Boys
Encyclopedia
Bitch Boys is a Swedish punk band from Stockholm, Sweden formed in 1978. They disbanded in 1981 after several songs. They reunited again in 1994 and rerecorded all the old songs again on a compilation album called Vi är trötta på att vara bäst. The name of the band is a parody of the Beach Boys.
The LP Continental and single Die Bahnhof Cafe was made by a partially new Bitch Boys by Peter Eriksson (Pierre LaCroix), as the only original member, on bass, Michael Thimrén (Henri Michel) on guitar, Ulf Erlandsson on drums and Max Lorentz
on lead vocals and synthesizers. This incarnation was as much influenced by bands like Kraftwerk
, DAF
and Spandau Ballet
as punk rock.
