Red Sleeping Beauty was a Swedish pop band that existed between 1992-1997. The band consisted of Kristina Borg, Mikael Matsson, Niklas Angergård, and Carl-Johan Näsström.
In the summer of 1991, Niklas had his first interaction with Red Sleeping Beauty, then a duo with a 6-track cassette demo as its only proof of existence, when he showed signs of similar taste in t-shirts [Sarah records] as Kristina at a Swedish pop festival. Hence, after his moving to Stockholm, RSB transformed into a trio, and begun to write more up-tempo and up-feeling songs. In order to secure proper bass playing and a full live line-up, Carl-Johan joined after the recording of ‘Pop Sounds’ [interested people can try and hear the extremely low-mixed bass played by Kristina on ‘Christmas’]. Soon after, the band headed for minor stardom with a series of releases on a variety of labels covering the majority of countries in the world. But with the break-up of the secret indie couple, i.e. Mikael and Kristina, along with the fact that the band had been around for almost a decade, Red Sleeping Beauty decided to do a Björn Borg - ending their career when at the top. |
