- Komeda is a Swedish pop/indie band from Umeå. They were initially called Cosma Komeda, named in honour of composer Vladimir Cosma and jazz musician and composer Krzysztof Komeda. The band started in the mid-1980s as a post-punk band influenced by bands such as Can, Devo, and The Velvet Underground, and by film soundtracks. Their first public appearance was in 1991 as a pit band for a Buster Keaton festival in their home town of Umeå. Forming as a quartet of schoolfriends, Komeda consisted of vocalist Lena Karlsson, guitarist (Lars) Henrik Andersson (Ray Wonder) (in 1994 replaced by Mattias Norlander from the band Blithe), bassist Marcus Holmberg and Holmberg's brother Jonas on drums. They increased in popularity, especially in the US, following tours with Beck and Ben Folds Five and regular MTV appearances. Reluctant to move permanently to the US to pursue further success, and grieving from the loss of their parents, the band went into hiatus following 1998's What Makes It Go? although they continued to make music for theatre during this time. During 2001 the band was reduced to a trio with the departure of Norlander as he left to work as a software engineer in Stockholm. In 2002, Marcus Holmberg joined guitarists Frans Perris and Magnus Kollberg to form the band The Most. In 2010 Jonas Holmberg launched his new project Gilles & Felix, an experimental audio/visual performance. Marcus Holmberg now lives in Stockholm and works on various music projects, including playing bass in the bands Woodlands and Dewed . Komeda provided the score music for the animated film Pettson och Findus – Kattonauten (2000). They have also recorded under the name Projektor 7, adding music to silent movies. In 2006, "Check It Out", a hidden track from the Kokomemedada album, was used in commercials for Old Navy. Simultaneously, the song "Out from the Rain" from the same album was used in a commercial for Kirby: Canvas Curse on the Nintendo DS. (en)
- Komeda is een Zweedse popband uit Umeå. De band is vernoemd naar de Poolse jazzmusicus en filmcomponist . Komeda maakt lichtvoetige, urbane popmuziek, met referenties naar filmmuziek, easy listening uit de jaren 60 en de repetitieve elementen van minimal music en Krautrock. Onder de lichtvoetige klank met eenvoudige melodische elementen liggen arrangementen die worden gedomineerd door vaak ritmisch verschoven, complexe harmoniek.Stilistisch is Komeda verwant aan de band Stereolab. De band werd in 1991 gestart als octet, met als doel het begeleiden van stomme films bij een Buster Keaton-festival en heeft onder de naam Projektor 7 ook eigengecomponeerde muziek toegevoegd aan andere stomme films. Deze muziek werd live gespeeld, meestal bij filmfestivals. De band opereerde onder de naam Komeda vanaf 1993, en bestond toen uit zangeres Lena Karlsson, gitarist Henrik Andersson (in 1994 vervangen door Mattias Norlander), bassist Marcus Holmberg en drummer Jonas Holmberg, broer van Marcus.In 2001 werd de band gereduceerd tot een trio door het vertrek van Norlander. In 2000 bezorgde Komeda de muziek voor de tekenfilm Pettson och Findus - Kattonauten.In 2006 werd de single "Check It Out" uit 1999 gebruikt in een reclame voor [1].In hetzelfde jaar werd "Out From the Rain" van het album Kokomemedada gebruikt in een Nintendo-reclame.
