White Sister

White Sister was one of those bands that never quite achieved the success it deserved. Despite being signed to a major label, working with a well-known producer and writing songs that bettered their more well-known peers on more than one occasion, vocalist/bassist Dennis Churchill-Dries and company struggled to keep their heads above water throughout most of the Eighties. White Sister released two albums, a self-titled debut – produced by Angel’s Gregg Giuffria - and ‘Fashion by Passion’.

A.r.t

A.R.T
…is the brainchild of two persons; Anders Sundelin keyboards & vocals and Robert Forsell keyboards. Despite the fact that
they use synthesizers exclusively, they set out to create some kind of
progressive rock. …The beginning!
It all started in 2005 when Anders & Robert became tired of their former project. …And now what?
…well, at the moment A.R.T are concentrating on recording an album! Bio Anders:
…the early years!
Barely walking straight, Anders was already climbing every stage in sight, ”helping” the acts in his vicinity… - with varying results!
