San michael's was kaipas earlier name , they released two albums, one slef titled and another one called "nattåg" the lyrics was in swedish at the time.
Kaipa is a Swedish progressive rock band created in 1973 by Hans Lundin (vocals, keyboards) and Tomas Eriksson (bass), along with drummer Thomas Sjöberg. The original moniker was "Ura Kaipa", after a Swedish stone age chieftain.
They went through the usual line-up changes and recorded 5 studio albums before finally splitting up in December of 1982. Most notably, in 1974 they had recruited guitarist Roine Stolt, who would later become the mastermind of The Flower Kings.
They got back together and have released several albums during the 21th century, and juste recently gave out their 11th studio album "In the wake of evolution" .
Theese guys are from my hometown, and played great prog rock during the 70's as san michael's and Kaipa. After listening to the new album it is actually quite good, really nice music, good vocals and a nice folky vibe to it. They stil got it.
