| Description | The Swedish group BOULEVARD from Gothenburg at their time was regarded as a raising, talented and extremely promising outfit in the Melodic Hard Rock scene. Nevertheless, the band showed a lack of assertiveness. At that time the A&R of their record label SATELIT RECORDS underrated the musicians and after all did not have any serious interest in pushing the guys. In 1987, singer Roy El Hoshy, guitarists Lennart Widegren and Dick Börtner, bassist Mikael Magnusson and drummer Morgan Pettersson released their first single ‘One The Line - Still On The Way’. In the same year, their debut album ‘What’s Up’ saw the light of day before the previous single was re-issued with a new, improved artwork in 1988. Unfortunately, these releases did not bring the band to the next level. Finally, as so many other promising newcomers, BOULEVARD split up. Roy, Lennart and Morgan started the project ‘Midnight Blue’ and released a single. Morgan Pettersson joined ‘Glanzig’, a Danzig tribute band. Dick and Lennart founded the group ‘Time Bomb Boys’ which later was re-named into ‘The Ungrateful’. Additionally to this, Dick ‘Dixxi’ Börtner played with INNOCENT ROSIE and the THIN LIZZY tribute band ‘NIGHT LIFE’. Morgan later joined the group ‘B-Thong’. Lennart Widegren left Sweden and moved to Los Angeles where he was working as guitar teacher and became a member of the group ‘Elegantly Wasted’. Mikael Magnusson played with EASY ACTION. Much too early, he most recently has passed away. |
