Army of Lovers featured
Alexander Bard (1987-2001, 2013), Jean-Pierre Barda (1987-2001, 2013), La Camilla (1987-1991, 1996, 2001, Jan-March 2013), Michaela Dornonville De La Cour (1991-1995),
Dominika Peczynski (1992-1996, 2001, March 2013).
Debut single 'When The Night Is Cold' was released in 1988. This song was not to be on debut album 'Disco Extravaganza' released in 1990 (re-named 'Army of Lovers when released in USA & UK in 1991). This was followed by the album 'Massive Luxury Overdose' (1991). La Camilla left the band and released a single 'I Am Not In The Mood For Lovers'. The Group replaced La Camilla with Michaela De La Cour, they re-released 'Massive Luxury Overdose' with extra tracks & with De La Cour on the new album artwork.
In 1992 the band came a four piece when Dominika joined the group and they recorded 'Hasta Manana' for the Abba tribute album.
Albums 'The Gods of Earth and Heaven' (1993) and 'Glory, Glamour & Gold'(1994) followed. The group dis-banded at the end of 1995. They re-formed to release 'Les Greatest Hits' in 1996, De La Cour did not want to be in the group anymore so original member La Camilla was asked back and she returned to record 4 new songs with the group. The Group split again in 1996.
In 2001 Army of Lovers reformed again (again with La Camilla) to release another Greatest Hits album (this time with 3 new tracks - all cover versions of other artist songs). The 2001 album was called 'Le Grand Docu-soap'.
Alexander Bard went on to be in BWO (Bodies Without Organs) and later in Gravitonas
In 2013 Army of Lovers was reformed once again in Melodifestivalen. The Swedish pre selection for Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "Rockin’ the ride"
12 years after their last compilation album "Le Grand Docu-Soap", the reunited Swedish theatro-pop group releases a brand new greatest hits collection, plus 4 brand new songs ("Rockin' the ride", "Crashing down", "Signed on my tattoo" and "Tragedy"). Army of Lovers have always been special, controversial, colourful and creative, mainly due to their image and witty pop songs.
Their name alludes to a documentary Armee der Liebenden oder Revolte der Perversen (Army of Lovers or Revolution of the Perverts) about Rosa von Praunheim, which in turn alludes to the Theban Band.

Live Is Life
Army of Lovers Lyrics
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Lost in the age of innocence
Trapped in a traffic accident
Got to escape the hospital
Intensive care
Don't try to fool yourself, you bag of skin and blood
One day I break your heart and bury you in mud
Don't be an egotist, the doctor wants your room
You had your go at life, the time is up, you're doomed
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
I have to boost my confidence
Build me a strong immune defense
Take on the virus drilling
In my chilling spine
Look at your body, how the pieces fall apart
There ain't no brainwave, ain't no pumpin' from the heart
That was your life, my dear, I'm bored with your account
Before your body blow pay back my full amount
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
You think you're so unique, you think you have it all
Deep down inside you're weak, I shake and make you fall
Don't be an egotist, the doctor wants your room
You had your go at life, the time is up, you're doomed
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Lost in the age of innocence
Trapped in a traffic accident
Got to escape the hospital
Intensive care
One day I break your heart and bury you in mud
Don't be an egotist, the doctor wants your room
You had your go at life, the time is up, you're doomed
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
I have to boost my confidence
Build me a strong immune defense
Take on the virus drilling
In my chilling spine
Look at your body, how the pieces fall apart
There ain't no brainwave, ain't no pumpin' from the heart
That was your life, my dear, I'm bored with your account

Deep down inside you're weak, I shake and make you fall

Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
