Biography
Melody Club is a Swedish band from Växjö formed in January 2000. Their breakthrough came in 2002 with the song Palace Station, which was also a big success in Germany. Additionally, the song was featured in the soundtrack of the film Slim Susie. The band has frequent radio airplay in Sweden, Germany, Japan, Norway and Denmark.
Melody Club's style can be described as a blend of synthpop and glam rock. The single "Fever Fever" is included on the soundtrack of the football video game by EA Sports, FIFA 08. On 22 April 2009, they released their fifth and first self-produced album, "Goodbye to Romance

The first single from the album was called "Girls Don't Always Wanna Have Fun"—a possible reference to Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun".
In 2010 Andy A left the group in protest against the group's participation in Eurovision and was replaced with the original drummer Richard Ankers.
In the summer of 2025, they reunited the band with a tour.
The former bass player Nicklas Stenemo is now the vocalist in the Malmö band Kite.
