Dungen
Dungen ("the grove", Swedish pronunciation: [ˈdɵŋɛn]) is a Swedish rock band based in Stockholm. Often classified as progg or psychedelic rock, Dungen is also influenced by Swedish (and other) folk music, classic rock, progressive rock, garage rock and alternative rock.
The band is fronted by singer/composer Gustav Ejstes, who writes all music and plays the majority of instruments on the band's records. Despite this, Dungen plays live as a four-piece. Ejstes, who in his teens started his songwriting with hip hop, is backed live by Swedish progressive rock veteran Reine Fiske (Landberk, Morte Macabre, Paatos, The Amazing) on guitar, bassist Mattias Gustavsson (Life On Earth!), and drummer Johan Holmegard (previously on drums was Fredrik Björling), all of whom have played parts on Dungen's studio albums.
Following two vinyl album releases on Swedish record label Subliminal Sounds, Dungen briefly signed to Dolores Recordings (a subset of Virgin Records) in 2002, on which they released the CD Stadsvandringar and three singles, including one for Djungelboken 2 (the Swedish version of The Jungle Book 2). Ejstes soon returned to his friend's independent record label Subliminal Sounds, stating that a major label did not feel right because Dungen is not a pop act.

Gjort Bort Sig
by: DungenJag stannade på vägen till mitt arbete jag gick till varje dag
och ringde upp en kompis som var äldre och som visste hur det var
Han sa: Det finns så mycket man kan göra här i livet om man vill,
men det är lika lätt att missa festen om man bara sitter still
Man kan inte göra bort sig
Få kan ha roligt som vi
Kan du inte se dig själv
spelar jag nog ingen roll
Om sommarens två månader då fåglar kräks är alla fåren blå
Om gamla favoriter läggs i blöt då smakar skörden bara tvål
Ge mig hellre mera liv
Få kan ha roligt som vi
Kan du inte se dig själv
spelar vi nog ingen roll
Om färgen på din mössa pekar finger åt nånting så är det svårt
Och läser man en tidning får man för sig att dom vet vad som står på
Men när drivorna av döda flugor ligger i ett fönster på din vind
då verkar det som om allt finns men inte riktigt vågar va ändå
[Och så] [...] har du gjort bort dig
Få kan ha roligt som vi
Kan du inte se dig själv
spelar jag nog ingen roll
Ge mig hellre mera liv
Få kan ha roligt som vi
Kan du inte se dig själv
