BIO
Mikael Erlandsson, from Gothenburg, is one of the best singers/songwriters in Sweden today. He recorded four successful solo albums and after being supporting act to Tina Turner and Brian Ferry and after the participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, Mikael decided he wanted to do something else.
His Japanese record company came up with the idea of putting him together with the fantastic guitar player Andy Malecek from the successfull German hard rock band Fair Warning for an album project.
Mikael and Andy were both hooked by the idea and a plan for the album began to grow.
Ian Haugland, Mic Michaeli and John Leven of Europe-fame were asked if they were interested to join, which they did and the band LAST AUTUMN’S DREAM comes to life!
Their self titled debut album (2004) resembles the best Scandinavian melodic rock heritage, but also adds a distinctive Fair Warning influence coming from Malecek guitar playing and songwriting.
The band loses 3/5’s of their members due to the comeback of Europe. On their second effort «II» (2005) founders Mikael and Andy are joined by three great musicians to keep the dream alive: bassist Marcel Jacob (Talisman), drummer Jamie Borger (Talisman, Treat) and keyboarder Thomas Lassar (Crystal Blue). Thomas also took part as a songwriter, on the debut album.
The third chapter «Winter in Paradise» (2006) sees the confirmation of the previous line-up, except for Thomas, and proposes the combination of classic rock references with some more modern sound.
In their forth album entitled “Saturn Skyline” (2007), the band shows once again how to make it up there to the top bands of the genre. Always in 2007, the band released their first greatest hits album «Impressions: The Very Best of LAD», an exclusive release for Japan.
During summer, the band sets off on a Japanese tour which confirms the big enthusiasm around this top class quartet.
On September 30, the band performs at the United Forces Of Rock festival at Rockfabrik (Ludwigsburg - Germany), alongside Joe Lynn Turner, Stan Bush, White Wolf, Soul Doctor, Human Zoo and Danger Danger.
