Last word in Toppergate

Swedish band Topper have been through some turbulence in the last few days. This is their final word in i the break up with bass player Michael Gustavsson.
I sum it in English.

They say that they decided to go separated ways after many years together.
Anyone that plays or have played in a band knows that those things happens. And this doesn´t means
there must be someone to blame. This things happens. Topper thanks "Micke" for being a fuel injection on the creative development of the band.

And point out that they won´t comment on rumours or other that isn´t true.
They will also thank all the people in their following that didn´t throw shit in any direction when the news first was spread, as they thank all their fans.


Next gig will be at Tucken in stockholm March 8, with "Rockis" Ivarsson (Thåström) on bass.





"Efter några intensiva dagar med rykten och en hel del frågor ang Topper så vill vi härmed förtydliga vissa saker en sista gång. Efter många år med underbara, sanslösa och otroligt roliga minnen så har Topper och Michael Gustavsson valt att gå skilda vägar. Alla som spelar, eller har spelat i ett band vet att ibland händer detta. Det betyder absolut inte att någon har gjort fel. Som vi skrev tidigare så tackar vi Micke för den injektion han har varit i Toppers musikaliska utveckling. Topper kommer inte att under några som helst omständigheter kommentera osanna rykten, påhopp eller annat. Vi ber alla att respektera detta. Topper villsamtidigt tacka alla som visade hänsyn och inte slängde in onödiga och sårande kommentarer åt någon sida. Till de som nu väljer att sluta att följa Topper, ett stort HANX till er för den tiden som varit. Till alla er som väljer att fortsätta att vara med oss säger, once a punk, always a punk. Vikarierande basist är nu Ulf Rockis Ivarsson. Den 8 mars så kommer han att göra debut då Topper med gäster som bl.a. Eas Tiljander spelar på Broder Tuck. Samtidigt fortsätter jobbet med nya cd'n. Topper räknar med att en vinylsingel är klar i början av april. Ett stort HANX från Per Knochenhauer, Benjamin Fikus(Tobbe) och Joakim Hammarstedt."

Topper breaks with bassplayer


Swedish punk rock band Topper breaks with Bassplayer Michael Gustavsson.
Just two days after a 3 days tour the break up was a fact. 
Today the three other members of the band made it official. I have been informed that I will get more information during the day.


The band also anounce on Facebook that they will not comment on rumours around the band.

As I am filming the band for my documentary "Vilket jävla skitliv" I should be able to see it comming by I didn´t.
Im as puzzeled as you are.



stay tuned for updates.


I have taken the decision to not publish any sides view in this
until things settled and I get a a bit of the whole picture.
As a former member i various bands I know that things should be settled in
the circle of the band, before people air it in the open, American style.
This because I don´t want to put oil on the fire.
