Artist Information

Sweden's sextet, THE ARK, is well on its way toward making rock 'n' roll history. Having shattered sales and radio play records in their home country and Italy, and consistently playing to sold-out crowds on tours in Scandinavia, Europe and North America, the band is a growing force to be reckoned with.

You know these Swedes have got to have something the moment you witness their ability to explosively transform anyone-from a repressed, suited-up executive to a cynical, jaded hipster - into part of a chanting, pulsating, hungry-for-music mob. It is undeniable that whether playing in a stadium for thousands or in one of New York's fabled rock clubs, THE ARK puts on an unforgettable show. Fans know to expect a visual, visceral event - or in the words of frontman and songwriter, Ola SALO: "Lots of spontaneity and over-the-top drama, with bone-crushing riffs and epiphanies." Combining the raw theatrical power of legendary glam bands, and carefully crafted melodies with clever and meaningful lyrics, an evening with THE ARK approaches something akin to an other-worldly experience.

That said, everybody in THE ARK is really nice, they all like beer, a few are a vegetarians, and one of them secretly likes fermented herring (a stinky Swedish delicacy)...
