Biography
Ex-KEE & ALEX guitarist Kee Marcello (a.k.a. Kjell Hilding Lövbom) formed EASY ACTION, amongst the earliest of Swedish Glam bands, in the early 80's together with another former KEE & ALEX band member Peo 'Tyrone' Thyrén. EASY ACTION's initial line-up comprised of Marcello, Tyrone, vocalist ZINNY J. ZAN (real name Bo Stagman), ex-ROAD RATS guitarist Danny Wilde (Dan Segerstedt) and drummer Freddie Von Gerber. Although this incarnation recorded the debut album Danny Wilde departed and another version of the album was issued with new guitarist Chris Lynn (Christoffer Lind) featured on the revised sleeve.
The first album, issued in 1984, was well received throughout Europe amongst fans of the Glam genre, especially with the popularity of the single 'We Go Rockin'', which was something of a hit in Sweden. The band was forced into making a change once more with the departure of frontman Zinny, who quit to form DREAM POLICE before moving onto KINGPIN, SHOTGUN MESSIAH, GRAND SLAM and subsequently ZAN CLAN. The singer also issued a 2000 solo album 'City Boy Blues', which featured a guesting Kee Marcello. Tyrone also left EASY ACTION to join SHA-BOOM, subsequently becoming a member of B.I.G.
Regrouping, in 1985 EASY ACTION added ex-HORIZONT vocalist TOMMY NILSSON and guitarist Björn Påhlsson to the ranks, but just prior to the release of the more AOR laden second album 'That Makes One', Kee Marcello opted to join the high profile EUROPE and EASY ACTION promptly split. Making international news, the band members would take out a law-suit against American Glam troupe POISON, claiming that the Los Angeles Rockers' 'I Want Action' hit had infringed the copyright of EASY ACTION's 'We Go Rockin''. The band won an out of court settlement.
Ex-singer TOMMY NILSSON went on to achieve massive success as a solo AOR star, scoring two Swedish number 1 singles, including 1988's 'Allt Som Jag Känner' duet with TONE NORUM. Marcello enjoyed several successful years as a member of EUROPE. Later the guitarist would be reunited with Freddie Von Gerber in the early 90's in RED FUN. The drummer had been equally as busy in the intervening period having formed BAM BAM BOYS with Matti Alfonzetti (later to join JAGGED EDGE and SKINTRADE) and RAT BAT BLUE, before teaming up with Peo Tyrone in the Punk side project NOISE.
In a surprise move, EASY ACTION announced they were to reunite for a 16th December gig in Kalmar sharing a bill with HANOI ROCKS and NOCTURNAL RITES. The band line-up comprised the "classic" roster of Kee Marcello, Zinny J. Zan and Per-Olof "Tyrone" Thyrén. However, just days after this statement the proposed show was cancelled.
In late 2005 Marcello and Tyrone, accompanied by Martin Borjesson on keyboards and Johan Junstrand on drums, announced the formation of THE GLITTER TWINS.
