KEEGAN BIOGRAPHY

 

.

The band started up in Sweden in October 1992 with the recording of Keegans first CD,

titled "Agony in Despair". That album was released in November 1993.

.

Jeff played all instrument except for the drums, which were handled by Anders Johansson,

Internationally well known from his work with Yngwie Malmsteen and Blue Murder. That

 recording became sort of a solo project and also a platform to develop the band for the future.

.

The music had influences from groups like Queensryche and Metallica, but still with its

own sound and ideas. Coinciding with the album a video was recorded, featuring

the track "Wasted Existence".

.

Jeff Keegan now decided to put together a complete band before commencing recording of

 the next album. After many auditions the band was finally completed during the summer 1994

and the permanent members of KEEGAN are:

.

Jeff Keegan...............Vocal, Lead guitar

Ralph Rydén.............Drums

Magnus Rosén..........Bass guitar

Thomas Jeager..........Rythm guitar

.

While completing the band, new songs had been written, and in October 1994 the band

started to record the new album "Mind no Mind".

.

The album contains 10 songs with aggressive and heavy sound with a lot of details and

complexity, and the song "Timebell" was chosen for the first video from this album.

.

The band has recently started with live performances as supportact for bands like

Helloween and Bruce Dickson/ Skunkworks. Beside this the band is now composing

songs for the third recording, which is scheduled to take place in the beginning of -98.

The new album will have a more modern and aggressive sound in combination with 12

very strong songs.
