Biography
Founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1989, the band was fronted by [a=Pontus Holmgren] (lead vocals and guitars), who wrote all the lyrics, while [a=Peter Bergkrantz] (bass), née Nilson, composed most of the music. Johan Norberg, featured on their debut single, was soon replaced by [a=Vasa] (Lars Yngve Johansson) on “drums, bowling and cats”. Their debut single "Gonna See 'Bout My Baby" was released in 1989, but it wasn’t until their performance at Hultsfredsfestivalen that summer that they became known to a wider audience. In January 1990 they released "Min Bror Och Jag", which received extensive airplay and became their first hit. The same year saw the release of their first LP "Via Satellit", which received both critical acclaim and commercial success. The icing on the cake was the Grammis won for Best Pop Group, and a sensational debut was a fact. Well over 100 gigs followed within a year, alongside the recording of their second album "Följer Ett Spår", released 1991, which produced their biggest hit "Godmorgon Columbus". After its release, Vasa departed to form [a=Big Money (2)], while Pontus and Peter continued and released "Pontus Och Peter" in 1993. Following a five-year hiatus, Pontus & Amerikanerna returned in 1998, again as a trio, with "Kasino", which yielded the radio and club hit "Innan Sommaren Tar Slut". That marked the end of the band. All three members have since moved on to other projects, and a third resurrection is highly unlikely.
