May 17, 2012, 12 years ago
Sweden's THE QUILL have been rejoined by bassist Roger Nilsson.
A message from the band states: "The Quill is proud to re-introduce the new bass player to the family and throw him back into action right away. Without further ado, we give you – Roger Nilsson! Welcome back brother!
Previously a member of the The Quill, as well as SPIRITUAL BEGGARS and FIREBIRD, Roger Nilsson played bass on the first four The Quill albums, but left the band in 2005 to pursue other musical ventures.
Says Roger: "Ten minutes into our first rehearsal in seven years it was obvious to all of us that there’s a connection between us musically as well as personally that can’t be denied. I had a feeling that the first shows this past weekend would feel a little awkward but instead it felt like the most natural thing in the world. It’s great being back and I’m really looking forward to start writing new music again. Bring it on!"
The Quill continue: "After the bass player seat was vacant we sat down and started to think about who the perfect replacement would be, and the first name to pop up was Roger Nilsson! To our great joy he accepted the offer and after two shows we can tell you that this guy is still lethal!"
Upcoming The Quill shows include:
June
2 - Kade Rock Festival - Den Haag, NetherlandsJuly
21 - Rock Im Wald Festival - Lichtenfels, Germany
