auditing for the voice of snow

recording a duet with Swedish
Country Star Jill Jonhson, doing

Mia
"Whippy" Löfgren
Some
years after Mary Joe quit she
joined the band. She had actually
sung Rednex-Songs before, during
her time in a band named
"Rock Box". The other
singer in "Rock Box"
was Göran Danielsson, the real
male singer in Rednex. After the
group got replaced in beginning
of 2001 she had a little time
off. In 2003 she joined the
swedish TV-Show "Fame
Factory". As a result she
released the single
"Superstar" which went
from 0 to number 4 of the Swedish
charts immediatly. At the same
time she was on place 12 of the
charts with the song "Gula
och bl°a", a compilation
with the female soccer team of
Sweden. Mia was part of Rednex
from 2000-2001 and once in a
while she still performs with the
guy as formation "The
Original members of Rednex".

Anders
"Ken Tacky" Arstrand
From
1994 to 2000 he was the male
singer of Rednex and their
banjo-player.... At least that´s
what they told the press. In the
Rednex-break he recorded a album
with a metal-band, which was
co-produced by his band-mate
Urban "BB Stiff"
Landgren. The band was named
"Explode" and the album
title was "Live
forever". Some copies of it
are available on www.cybercd.de. In
2000 he decided to quit right
after their comeback and no one
actually knows what he is doing
nowadays....

Jonas
"Billy Ray" Nilsson
In
the beginning he was
"just" violin-player in
Rednex, but after Ken Tacky quit
he took over the part as male
singer. It was funny, cause now
Bobby Sue had to take over the
vocals that Billy Ray sang on the
track "Get the truck
loaded". In the break he
worked as a music-teacher (!!!)
and for a radio-station. Last
year he sang the male vocals for
a track on a Tribute to Sweet
Album named Sweet F.A. (he sung
thetitle track)

Kenta
"Bobby Sue" Olander
From
1994 till 2001 he was
violine-player in Rednex, and for
sure the most tattoed violine
player ever. Fans have given up
to count them or to try figuring
out long ago. In the break he
played drums in a rock-band.
Unfortunetly they did not release
an album. He´s still performing
with Mia and the guys as
"The Original Members of
Rednex" once in a while
