Trum med Morgan Agren



Morgan Agren (born 1967) is a Swedish drummer who plays with the progressive rock band Kaipa.

A native of Umea, Norrland, Morgan Agren was spotted as an outstanding talent at a young age as he began performing publicly at age seven, and eventually joined forces with Mats Öberg in 1981.
They later formed "Zappsteetoot" together in 1984, a band internationally known for performing Frank Zappa's music.
In 1988, at the age of 20, Morgan Agren was, along with Mats Öberg, invited by Frank Zappa to do a guest performance at Zappa's Stockholm concert. Impressed by Agren's skills, Zappa invited Agren to the States to partake in several projects, including the 1994 Grammy Award winning CD, Zappa's Universe, with Steve Vai as well as a sold out New York performance of Zappa's classical program at Lincoln Center's Great Performers Series in Avery Fisher Hall. Agren also shares the drummer's seat with Terry Bozzio on Dweezil Zappa's album Shampoohorn. In 1996, Agren has toured throughout Europe as a member of Glen Hughes band, and later to Japan in 1997. 1996 also saw the formation of Morgan Agren's own record label, Ultimate Audio Entertainment, dedicated to the release of "new" music.

Agren has recorded several albums as a member of Fleshquartet (Swedish: Fläskkvartetten), amongst them the Grammy Award winning Goodbye Sweden and Flow (Award for Best Album 1993) in addition to his international performances with Zappa’s Universe and with Mats Öberg in Mats/Morgan Band.
In May 1997, Agren was featured in a unique project of the Swedish Film Institute, making his debut in movie theaters and at several international film festivals. Described as a sound experience, the 4-minute 35mm short-film Lullaby for Lost Souls showcases him in "a free-form Stereo Dolby drum explosion".

Agren is also highly recognized by fans of extreme and heavy music for his studio performance on Fredrik Thordendal's solo album, Sol Niger Within, released in 1997.
