Weaselface is a swedish band who was formed in september 1995. In october the same year they secured a record deal with Rosa Honung Rec.
The band entered the famous Sunlight Studio in december 1995, which resulted in the bands debut album "Fuck You",
a Fred "Terror" Estby engineering/Tomas Skogsberg-production released in early 96.
The line-up at the time was Matt Slammer - Guitar & Vocals, ”Mick Sabotage 81" Billy Saurell - Drums, and K.K. Weasel - Bass & Anti.
A lot of gigs followed and the band played numerous shows with, among others, Hellacopters, Silver Machine, Haystack, A-Bombs and 69 Eyes.
In october 1996 the band had a nervous breakdown and had a small vacation until march 1997 when the band again entered Sunlight
Studios and recorded a bunch of punkrockfavourites, among them Sex Pistols "Seventeen" and "We are the league" by Anti-Nowhere League.
A whole album was planned but never released and due to the disappointment of that fact the original line-up split up.

1998 was a silent year for the band. Matt Slammer kept on rocking in different constellations where he at last met up with drummer Pat The Rat.
They started rehearsing for a new album and started recording it, but due to The Rats working hours he could only participate in a third of
the album. The rest of the songs the drums were contributed by Billy Saurell and B-Head Recordboss Nicke ”Två Pannkakor Hög” Lilltroll.
When the album was released as "Welcome To Punk Rock City" Matt Slammer and The Rat had hooked up with bassist Jimmy W from the mighty
gothrockers Malaise and second guitarist, the former death metalman Jesper ”Sailorman” Bood.
The first recording together resulted in a song on the Hanoi Rock tribute recorded by the majestic Stefan at SubSonic in Upplands Väsby.
At this point the new line-up performed live a couple of times which resulted in total catastrophe since The Rat wasn´t exactly eager to
rehearse and his alcoholabusive style made him an infamously poor drummer on stage. The band took a break again to find a new drummer…

They found Mikael, the old rock´n´roller/drunkard from Los Bohemos, and together with him they recorded the classic Motörheadsong "Bomber"
for a tributealbum which came out pretty good. That made them so happy that they locked them selves up in a cage and made three more songs
for a promo. The songs known as ”Rocketfuel Injection”, ”Fire In The House Mutha” and ”Rocker Of The Golden Age” were once again put on tape
in Sunlight studios a sweaty weekend the year 2001.
The band also recorded a video for their great hitsong ”Gimme A Fix” in 2001. Due to parenthood the Sailor moved out in the country
shortly afterwards and started focusing on his next project, the psychobillyact The Something From Arizona.
