1969 armstrong

Founded by Calle Thoor and Cristian Ekman (also members of Bolywool) in 2005 in Alingsås, Sweden due to their love of British shoegaze and American indie rock.

Their first self-released EP, The Great Exposition EP, came out in July 2005 and was recorded in only two days. It was a mix of spacerock, neo-psychedelia and alternative rock/pop. The following year, Postcard EP, revealed a darker, less psychedelic, and more shoegazy and introspective side of 1969 Armstrong.
