The Scanian (Malmoe) rock band Wilmer X started in 1978, and was originally called Wilmer Pitt. The name was changed in 1980, when the slightly disturbing word Pitt was replaced with a more versatile X. I would say that the peak of the band's career was in the eighties. Some of my favorite songs are: Vild, Vem är den flickan, Säj din mamma & din pappa, Kör dej död, Om en hund mådde såhär, and so on.
The band has connections with legendary Scanian music profiles, Torsson and Peps. Nowadays, I guess that their history is over. And, presumably, noone in Norway has ever heard about Nisse, Jalle and the other boys in Wilmer...

Som icke-skåning har jag ju inte fått Wilmer med modersmjölken och dom var rätt okända för mig när jag flyttade ned till Skåne. Kanske därför jag aldrig lärt mig tycka riktigt bra om deras musik. Men Peps är bäst i Sverige! (i alla fall i Skåne).

JAG känner till Wilmer X, iallafall - trots att jag ju snudd på är född i Norge.
Må gott, L!
