Marathon (SWE) - Eronia

"Eronia" from the first album by Swedish band Marathon. Janne Lundberg - Drums Anders Sandsten - Bass Jonas Isacsson - Guitars Hawkan Manderstedt - Keyboards Marathon - a Swedish rock band formed 1973 in the north of Sweden (Nikkala and Seskarö). After hearing the guitarist Jonas Isacsson’s home reel to reel recordings on the radio show 'Bandet Går’, Janne Lundberg (drums) and Anders Sandsten (bass) quickly decided to seek out Jonas. A week later they met up for to try-out and the three of them clicked and formed the band Marathon. Two intensive and creative years of making music followed: composing, rehearsing and performing, mainly as a three-piece but sometimes with an added rhythm guitarist, Kenneth Sandsten. During these two years Marathon only did 12 live concerts and no album recordings but despite the modest exposure, they managed to achieve a cult reputation and followers amongst the music fans in the region. Unfortunately in 1975 Marathon was forced to disband due to the Isacsson family's move to Stockholm, where Jonas quickly made a name of himself as a guitarist. In May 2018 the original members got back together, for a bit of reminiscing, socialising and to play the old Marathon tunes, just for old times sake. A status update about the meeting on social media spread amongst the old friends and fans. Even offers of gigs were amongst the comments. Such was the response that what was originally a meet up for fun, quickly transformed into an idea of a reunion. The most interesting offer, to play at the music festival 'Sommarfesten' in Kalix, came from booking agent Peter Karlsson. Marathon decided to accept and to reunite after a 43 year long hiatus. To start up the band again as a power trio felt a bit dull. Janne Lundberg (drums) had recently played with keyboard player Hawkan Manderstedt and convinced the others that he was the new creative injection Marathon needed, which proved to be accurate. From the first rehearsal with Hawkan, it felt and sounded like he had always been a member of the band. Marathon played their first live concert in 44 years on the 18th of July 2019 With the thrill and joy of playing and composing together again, the now four-piece decided to carry on as a band and record their first album.
