Gunther And The Sunshine Girls

There are at least two very different artists that go by the name Gnther. One is a highly-sexualised Swedish pop singer pictured left, the other is a symphonic rock trio from Calgary who's "Rock digs deep into an abyss of tonal expanses and constructs an impenetrable wall of resonance and covetous frequencies". The remainder of this article focuses on the former. Show more »

Sderlund's work is marked by upbeat, pop influenced rhythms done with deep sensuous vocals that can be classified as pop and dance. Most of Gnther's single releases have been in a collaboration with a female duo known as Gnther and the Sunshine Girls. They are most well known for their hit single "Ding Dong Song" which appeared in Sweden during the summer of 2004. Gnther and the Sunshine Girls toured various dates in Northern Europe following that summer. The song and resulting video gained popularity in the United States via personal trading and humor sites such as YTMND.Contents

Philosophy

As stated on his web page, gunthernet.com, Gnther's goal is to show the world a more sexual life through his music. Somewhat jokingly, he lists the most important things in his life as "champagne, glamour, sex, and respect." The honesty of Gnther's movement and music has been questioned and with little other media coverage it is difficult to know the truth.

Gnther's style is notable for his mullet, moustache, large black sunglasses and facial expression.
