Music:
Alexander Bard is a world-famous producer, songwriter and performer. He started his career in music with release of the single "Life in a Goldfish Bowl" under the lable Baard in 1981.
Later he performed as Barbie with Katanga (Camilla Henemark) and Farouk (Jean-Pierre Barda). In 1988 the project was renamed to Army of Lovers.
Army of Lovers with their hits "Crucified" and "Israelism" became a phenomenon on the world pop-scene. Their complicated lyrics, gorgeous sound and especially campy videos raised disco at the highest level. Alexander was the brain and soul of the group.
After Army of Lovers split up in 1996 Alexander Bard started highly conceptual music project Vacuum. Together with Mattias Lindblom and Marina Shiptjenko he put philosophical ideas into lyrics. And the sound of Vacuum is a multi-style combination of electronic music and symphony.
In 2002 another project is on track - disco-techno group Alcazar with Andreas Lundstedt, Magnus Karlsson, Annikafiore and Tess in the line-up. This time Alexander Bard appears only as producer and songwriter.
And the very last Alexander's creation is, of course, Bodies Without Organs.

Also Alexander runs promo company Bullgod. But don't search through the net for it's site - he prefers hiding from the large sections of public.
