Alcazar (band)

Alcazar is a Swedish Eurodance group which has established themselves as one of Sweden's most successful music groups both nationally and internationally with a string of hits since their debut single in 1999. Worldwide, Alcazar sold over 12 million records between 2001 and 2004. Alcazar have also had success around the world with their song "Crying at the Discoteque", having charted in countries such as USA, Brazil, Australia, Japan and most countries in Europe.

Alcazar disbanded in August 2011 after a concert at Stockholm Pride. They reunited again in 2013 ahead of Melodifestivalen 2014.

Band career

The group formed in 1998 with three members: Andreas Lundstedt, Tess Merkel, and Annika Kjærgaard. Their first single, "Shine On", was a hit in Sweden, but it was with their second release, "Crying at the Discoteque" (which heavily sampled Sheila and B. Devotion's 1979 hit "Spacer"), that they achieved success across Europe.

Both singles appeared on their album, Casino, written and produced fellow Swedes Alexander Bard and Anders Hansson.
