The band sprung out of Kee and Peo "Alex" Tyrone's collaboration
Kee & Alex, under which name they recorded a 12". The first constellation
consisted of Kee, Freddie, Bo "Zinny San"
Stagman (v), Dan "Danny Wilde" Segerstedt (g) and
Peo "Alex" Tyrén (b). Dan was previously in Roadrats,
together with Conny Bloom (later Electric Boys). He was replaced by Christoffer
and the album was re-rleased with a new cover. The song "Turn Me
On" was also replaced with "Rock On Rockers". They had
a minor hit with "We Go Rockin'", a song that later was "stolen"
by Poison. Zinny left to form Dream Police, then Kingpin/Shotgun Messiah
with whom he recorded one album. He was sacked/left and formed Grand Slam
but now has his own band Zan Clan.
Former Horizont singer Tommy Nilsson replaced Zinny and soon after Nalle
Påhlsson (AB/CD) took over Peo's task as he had left for glam band
Sha-Boom. "That Makes One" is concidered one of Sweden's AOR-classics.
On the 7" "Teachers Do It With Class" (quite witty, eh...)
Gunnar Hallin (Neon Rose, Bam Bam Boys) is also found on the cover but
never appeared on the record. Kee went to join Europe and the band fell
apart. Freddie then formed Bam Bam Boys with Matti Alfonzetti (Jagged
Edge, Skintrade) and later Rat Bat Blue. He is now found in Red Fun (
a band that is currently on hold) as well as touring with different acts.
Tommy has returned to singing top-40 pop and is having great success doing
so. Freddie and Peo toured with their reformed teenpop/punk band Noise
in 1995, a band that gained major success in the late 70's/early 80's.
They even released a new album in 1995. Easy Action were not only a rock
band but also bunch of actors. They played the suitable role of a rock
band in a blood dripping thriller entitled "Blood Tracks". The
band actually wrote two songs for the soundtrack as well. |
