NAME: Mattias Ia Eklundh
PLAYING (YEARS):
Turned to hard core guitar playing around the mid 80s, before that I
played the drums.
STYLE:
Home brewed, mostly insanely distorted, unorthodox Swedish bastard
style
(read: basically heavy guitar)
GEAR:
My signature Apple Horn model, manufactured by Caparison Guitars in
Japan. Laney amps. Hose-clips/clamps, remote controls and an
occassional
Chinese dildo.
ENDORSEMENTS:
Caparison, Laney. Been using it since 1996.
PAST
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:Four CDs with my band Freak Kitchen: Appetizer (1994), Spanking Hour
(1996), Freak Kitchen (1998), Dead Soul Men (2000). Two solo records:
Mr
Libido (1995) and Freak Guitar (1999).
CURRENT & UPCOMING PROJECTS:
Right now, I am working on the forthcoming Freak Kitchen album,
entitled
Move, with my buddies Bjorn Fryklund (drums) and Christer Ortefors
(bass).
I also record guitar/solo stuff in between and have just completed a CD
with my 13-year old guitar monster student Johan, called "Johan: Lead
Guitar" which I wrote and produced. He's almost too good to be true.
FAVORITE GUITARIST:
John McLaughlin
MOST UNDERATED PLAYERS:
Jimmy Rosenberg who I think is one of the best guitarists on the
planet.
BEST MUSICIAN YOU'VE EVER SEEN:
Anders Haggebrant, the keyboard player in the band Zappa Cliniquez. The
guy is beyond belief.
4 WORDS THAT DESCRIBES WHAT YOU WANT TO GET ACROSS IN YOUR PLAYING:
Glad. To. Be. Alive.
YOUR HERO:
Frank Zappa
ULTIMATE GOAL:
To make the six stringed pain in the butt that I am grow, year by year.
To continue doing what I am doing.
