by Jason Ankeny Swedish pop quartet Red Sleeping Beauty was formed in Stockholm in 1989 by singer Kristina Borg, singer/guitarist Niklas Angergård, guitarist Mikael Matsson and bassist Carl Johan Näsström. The group debuted in early 1993 with the Marsh Marigold EP Pop Sounds, followed a year later by efforts for the American label Somersault (Seasons Change) and the Japanese imprint Motorway (the Top of the Pops EP). Red Sleeping Beauty continued their international label-hopping in 1995, issuing the Smile EP on the American imprint Sunday and turning to Spains Siesta for the three-song Wealth of Information; returning to Germanys Marsh Marigold, the group issued its first full-length effort Bedroom later that same year. In the wake of the 1997 Siesta LP Soundtrack, Red Sleeping Beauty disbanded, with Angergård focusing his energies on his other band, the Acid House Kings.
