The Go Getters' mix of blues, rockabilly, and country generates a positive party atmosphere that will keep the beer-taps open and toes tappin' all night at any bar or event. This is true city fied and country-fried rockabilly!!
In January of 1988, amidst the frozen badlands of Västerås, Sweden, a gang of Vikings decided to heat things up by forming a rockabilly trio. They would call themselves the Go Getters. Fourteen years later, the ensuing inferno rages like an oil fire out of control. Led by standup drummer and chief songwriter Peter Sandberg on lead vocals, the Go Getters have electrified audiences around the world with their own custom blend of ass-kickin’, blues-marinated, high-octane, mega-watt rockabilly boogie. After appearing on several compilation albums in the late 1980’s, the Go Getters released their first single, You Don’t Love Me, in 1992. The platter soon topped the European roots music charts and led to the release of their debut LP, Real Gone!; considered a milestone in modern Euro rockabilly music for its heavy infusion of the blues. The success of these records fueled a demand for the group throughout Europe, where they toured without mercy for the better part of a decade. In addition to their own shows, the Go Getters have backed many of the 50’s biggest rockabilly stars, including Sleepy La Beef, Ray Sharp, Larry Donn, Johnny Powers and the greatest of them all, Mr. "Rockin’ Bones" himself, the late Ronnie Dawson (R.I.P) out of Dallas, Texas. Since 1990 Dawson used them on almost all his tours in Scandinavia. He is sorely missed by the whole Rock & Roll scene worldwide. He was a great person, friend and mentor to Sandberg.
