Alexander Bard, whose previous music projects had included Army of Lovers, Vacuum and Alcazar, started work on a new project during 2003, working with the record producer Anders Hansson who became the band's co-producer. They auditioned over 35 different vocalists before meeting former Popstars contestant Martin Rolinski who was duly chosen as lead singer. Marina Schiptjenko, an art-dealer and a one-time member of Vacuum, then came on board as the third member of what became Bodies Without Organs [2].
There was initially a suggestion that the band would be a four-piece including Jean-Pierre Barda from Army of Lovers, but this did not come to fruition, and Barda's explicit involvement extended as co-writing the songs "Living In A Fantasy" [2] (BWO's first single) and "European Psycho", both included on BWO's first album "Prototype" (It's odd that a picture of Barda turned up in the inner booklet of this album), and appearing on the videos "Conquering America", "Sixteen Tons of Hardware", "Open Door" and "The Bells of Freedom", in which Dominika Peczynski, also from Army of Lovers did make a cameo too.
The name of the band derives from the philosophical term body without organs, developed by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and psychoanalyst FΓ©lix Guattari in their 1972 book Anti-Εdipus. Bard, an author and lecturer of philosophy, has referred to the ideas of Deleuze in his books Netocracy - The New Power Elite And Life After Capitalism and The Global Empire, both co-written with Jan SΓΆderqvist.
At no point has BWO been a full-time project for any of the band's members - Bard continues his other career, notable in its own right, as a philosopher, while Schiptjenko remains an art dealer in Stockholm and Rolinski has a Master of Science in Engineering and works in that field.
Alexander Bard launched his new project Gravitonas in april 2010. Their first single "Kites" is launched in 15 versions on April 28th
Martin Rolinski will go solo also in 2010.
Singing In My Car
BWO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I park at the club
I can see something pretty
While I turn up the dub
I want to get her attention
So I'm blowing my horn
She's the best intervention
From the day I was born
While I'm stuck in the traffic
While I'm waiting for green
We can do something graphic
On my windscreen
Got a motor to start
Got the key to my heart
Cause I just want to hear you
Singing in my car
Got a motor to start
Got the key to my heart
Cause I just want to hear you
Singing in my car
Car car car car car car car
Car car car car car car car
I'm changing to a zoot suit
While you sip my champagne
Then we take the express route
To your private domain
You can leave on a jetplane
You can take outer space
I still thrust like a freight train
And my car is the place
While I'm stuck in the traffic
While I'm waiting for green
We can do something graphic
On my windscreen
Got a motor to start
Got the key to my heart
Cause I just want to hear you
Singing in my car
Got a motor to start
Got the key to my heart
Cause I just want to hear you
Singing in my car
Car car car car car car car
Car car car car car car car
