Mando Diao
Mando Diao is a garage rock band from Borlänge, Sweden. The roots of Mando Diao date back to 1995 when Björn Dixgård was a member of a band called Butler.

Björn Dixgård and Gustaf Norén locked themselves up in a summer house and spent six months writing songs. The two renamed their band Mando Diao. According to the band, the name Mando Diao has no meaning at all, but rather appeared to band member Björn Dixgård in a dream.

The U-haul employee, attempting to make polite conversation, asked the three bespectacled band members if they were scientists. They told him that they were musicians, not scientists. To this day they regret it and “…kind of wish we had just lied and gone on a riff about our work in nanotech”. In their own words, the band create “rock music of the thoughtful, sometimes epic, often loud, vaguely danceable, implicitly humanist variety”.
