Electric Boys formed as a duo in 1988 in Stockholm, Sweden by Conny Bloom (guitar and vocals) and Andy Christell (bass) and got a hit song right away with the track "All Lips N' Hips" after which the members Franco Santunione (guitar) and Niclas Sigevall (drums) were recruited. The band dropped down like a bomb in contemporary pop-Sweden with its headstrong mixture of groove, Beatles-phsychedelia and heavy guitar riffs and in 1989 they released their critically acclaimed debut Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride.
Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride was later released internationally including five new songs produced by monster-producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Mötley Crüe etc.).
Electric Boys toured tenaciously in Europe and in the U.S. where they were climbing the Billboard list while "All Lips N' Hips" was set on heavy rotation on MTV.
In Sweden the band had a huge hit with the song "För Fet För Ett F**k" (To Fat To F**k"), a song which was specially written for the now late comedian Micke Dubois. The single sold platinum and made it to nr. 1 on the prestigious Swedish Tracks list.
After four years playing with Hanoi Rocks, Conny Bloom and Andy Christell decided to reunite Electric Boys in the beginning of 2009. They released a "Best Of" album in the spring and played at the famous Sweden Rock Festival on June 5th. The band, which nowadays consists of the original line-up from the late 80's, performed at several festivals in Sweden, Finland and England during the summer and finished off with touring clubs in Sweden in September. In December 2009 Electric Boys supported Alice Cooper.
