About ABACORN

What was coming to be this hard hitting heavy band Abacorn started in the spring of 2002, when Claes and Frank’s band "Permanent Wave" (a prog hard rock band) was put on ice. Claes didn´t just want to lay down and die, so he had to find new "brothers" to play with that shared the same ideas.

Then, Mike came into the picture, a working companion to Claes with the same visions, and they started to jam in Mike’s old band "God’s Sideburns" rehersal room, but two guitarists without a drummer, no bass and no singer, that’s not what you call a band.
So after months of searching they got at tip from a friend who knew a drummer in a band called "Apple Brown Betty", that had split up. His name was Johan and he was curious of these shitkickers, so he jumped on his motorcycle to go see them jam. Sure, he felt that those dudes had something going on with their ideas and potential, so now another shitkicker was in.

After many discussions over the phone, Claes finally got Frank, his old band mate and long time friend to jump on the train. At last a bass player they were searching for and the magic started to happen.
