Blueass Blues Band began in 1981 with three musicians and a shared love of blues music. Thirty years later – the band has gone through a few changes but two original members are still here and above all - their love of music still remains true. From the beginning they were a hard working trio who performed original material and clever covers all in a shake-up of Chicago style blues, rock n’ roll with a twist of Texas-boogie and they soon became a popular band at local clubs and parties.

Soon the band was ready to spread their wings and focus on what they wanted to accomplish with their music – and it didn’t take long. In 1993 they played their first Blues festival – Åmål Blues Festival – which was followed by requests from all the top blues and music festivals in Norway and Sweden. They released their first full-length record “Breakin’ Through” (1994) on the independent Soundtronix label. In 1995 Soul-legend Arthur Conley heard the band and signed them to his Holland label Sweat Records for their second release “Hooked On You” (1996).

Blueass [Blues Band] from Filipstad celebrates 35 years as a band, and may well be called veterans on the Swedish blues scene. About ten years ago they had a timeout, but now they're back in full swing and also has a smoking new CD in the luggage - "Things Left Behind". When it comes to the blues blues, the age of an artist/band rarely means a downside and Blueass really shows that they are on top. Peter "PG" Gustavsson sings better than ever, and Ralph Broqvist delivers one smoking guitar solo after another.

Except for one - Taj Mahal's "Blues Ain't Nothin" - all songs are original compositions, and it's really a strong collection of songs written by the band members. Despite the fact that the record has a large musical variation, "Things Left Behind" is still a well-balanced album. No doubt, Blueass is back for real on the Swedish blues scene! /Kjell Wikström, Jefferson Magazine

Personnel: Peter "PG" Gustavsson (lead vocals/guitar/harmonica); Ralph Broqvist (lead guitar/vocals); Morgan Jansson (bass); Måns Tingberg (drums, percussion).

Various Artists - All That Blues From Sweden! Vol. 1&2

Swedish blues lives, is vital, and is developing. Stylistically, the breadth is great - rhythm and blues, southern soul-spiced blues, boogie woogie, shuffles, juke joint blues, bittersweet slow blues, jump blues, traditional country blues, and even country blues at top speed with a punk attitude. Songs, tempos, and feelings which give rise to everything from partying on down with two more pints from the bar, to sitting in a corner with your tears diluting a tightly clenched glass of whiskey. As Jimi Hendrix once said, "The blues is easy to play, but hard to feel". /Excerpt from the liner notes for All That Blues From Sweden! Vol. 2
