The Hep Stars

The cute one
The girl
Steve Gunn
The herps
The drummer
 "The chances are that, had ABBA never come along making Benny Andersson (and his three partners in the group) into an international pop-rock star, no one outside of Sweden would ever have heard of the Hep Stars. They were the hottest rock band of the middle-to-late '60s in Sweden, however, considered by some to be that country's answer to the Beatles. The Hep Stars also charted 20 singles in their own country and had hits in the Netherlands, as well as building a following in Germany — and their CDs are exported around the world as a result of the ABBA connection."

Ugh. Stormy, why do you torture me like this? Obviously I think the one you've labeled "the girl" is really hot.

And: Gunn!

If our friend ever Google's himself he'll be in for quite a treat.

I think they're all really out, was that not clear?
