This Perfect Day

This Perfect Day was a band from Skelleftea in northern Sweden that took its name from Ira Levin's 1970 sci-fi novel "A Beautiful Day". Formed in 1987 in Palembang, Sumatra (!), TPD brought together five school friends all of whom originated from Skellefteå: Mats Eriksson (vocals), Richard Johansson (guitar), Ove Markström (guitar), Ralph Tjärnlund (drums) and Peter Fahlgren (bass). The band pitched their first recordings on cassette to the local - and now legendary - record company A West Side Fabrication with whom they were initially signed and released their first singles on vinyl and cassette. (Yes, cassettes!). Following a gig at the Hultsfred Festival in 1991, the band moved to MNW's sub-label Soap Records whose stable also included Cinammon and the Wannadies.
