History
In 1991, the band was formed by Linda Jansson, Jessica Larsson, Maria Zaring and Linda Gustavsson.[1] They originated from Degerfors and Karlskoga respectively, and gained major fame with their debut single "Sommaren i City" when it was released the same year.[2] It was co-written by Bobby Ljunggren and peaked 7th place in the Topplistan (present-day Sverigetopplistan) charts upon its release.[3] A year later, the band released Äventyr i Natten, its first and only studio album.[1][2] Following the album release, they participated in the 1992 Melodifestivalen with the song "Venus Butterfly".[2]
Although the band had effectively discontinued all recording and touring by the 2000s, band member Linda Jansson independently co-wrote the 2000 Melodifestivalen-winning song "When Spirits Are Calling My Name" for Roger Pontare to perform.[2][4] In August 2007, the band performed several reunion shows, including at the Stockholm Pride schlager evening and the Sommarkrysset television program.[5]
