Bio
.. .. 10 members. Average age 22. Hailing from small town Sweden. Napoleon formed in the spring of 2003. After seeing a Napoleon Bonaparte documentary, songwriter and band leader Alexander “T-Glow” Havelda suggested that a shared goal of world domination meant Napoleon was the perfect name for the band, and so it was. .... T-Glow explains the Napoleon sound “There were a lot of long Scandinavian winters hunched over warm stereo speakers and it helped having Daddy Don, a surrogate father to my sister, based in Detroit sending over soul records from the 60’s but we all love Morrissey, The Boss and those whom we get compared to a lot, the criminally underrated, Dexy’s Midnight Runners”. .... This smorgasbord of American inner city Soul and British eccentricity, combined with their Nordic pioneering spirit makes Napoleon what they are… Add characters that include a seriously talented Jazz aficionado, the great, great grandson of the man who shot the Swedish King Ankarstrom and the son of the man who was No3 on the KGB’s hit list after Russia invaded the Czech Republic in the 1960’s. This diverse range of factual gems is perfect for a band that is brimming with excitement and surely serves to further the old phrase ‘two heads are better than one and ten heads are better than two.’ .... Their performance is like a stage re-enactment of the best house party you ever went to with all your best friends and some beautiful strangers. It is drama delivered with conviction. .... Napoleon play with passion and vigour, and are one of the few bands who have a member who’s dedicated instrument is the glockenspiel. .... Viva La difference! .... .... .. .. .. .. ...... .. ...... .. .... .. .. .... .... ...... ...... ........ .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Napoleon - Baghdad Me And The Hitman Joseph (Official video).. from ..Ruffa Lane.. on ..Vimeo.......

Napoleon play with passion and vigour, and are one of the few bands who have a member who’s dedicated instrument is the glockenspiel.

Viva La difference!
