Takida, a five piece rock band from mid Sweden, started out in 1999 and they have worked hard to get where they are today. Takida have been touring all around Sweden and built quite a reputation as a solid live rockband. Their fanbase is growing as we speak. Their first demo, "Old" was recorded in year 2000. The result was a 5-track CD which was released in 500 copies. It sold out immediately.
With many successful gigs and increased popularity the band were able to release their own material, including four EP's and one full album, which has sold astonishing 10.000 copies all together.
In 2005 Takida signed their first record deal with Ninetone Records/Universal Music and a publishing deal with Monitor Songs/Sony/ATV Music Publishing Scandinavia. After having produced their own tours all these years Takida signed with tour agent United Stage Artist and management company United Stage Management Group early 2006.
"Losing" - the first single from the new album - was released in Januari 2006. The single entered the Swedish charts as #2 and stayed in the top for weeks. The album "...Make you breathe" was released in Sweden early April 2006 and Takida is now on the road playing all the big clubs and festivals to support the album.
