The Baboon Show started out in Stockholm in late 2003 and was formed by Cecilia Boström (vocals), Håkan Sörle (guitar) and Niclas Svensson (drums). In 2004 they released the DIY 6-track EP This is it! and started touring Sweden and made themselves a reputation of being one of Sweden’s best live acts. They were played frequently in national radio and television and have been nominated for several awards.

In 2004 The Baboon Show signed to the Swedish indie label National. They released their three first albums within one year and seven months (Wow! That’s fast!) The Baboon Show kept on touring and soon they were asked to play abroad as well.

From the beginning, until this day, The Baboon Show are a frequently touring band and their fan base are growing bigger and bigger for every show they make. The Baboon Show are mainly touring in Scandinavia and Europe, but they have also toured in countries such as China and Cuba. The Baboon Show are a socialistic band and have a special love for Cuba, hence they returned to the tropical island for four times. In 2015 the band also went into a studio in Havana to record earlier released songs, but this time with Cuban musicians. A mixture of punkrock’n’roll and Cuban rhythms and beats.

From the fourth album Punk Rock Harbour (released in 2011) and forward, all The Baboon Shows albums have been released in Germany by the German label Kidnap Music. Since the Punk Rock Harbour release The Baboon Show work together with the producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt (The Hives, Randy among others). Their latest full length album Radio Rebelde was released in 2018 together with a Spanish edition.

During the pandemic The Baboon Show release their first release ever This is it! as a 7′ EP and their first three albums; Don’t Don’t Don’t (2005), Pep Talk (2006) and Betsy’s Revenge (2007) in a exclusive vinyl box (both released in 2019). In 2020 a four song 12′ vinyl with an etching on the B-side was released on kidnap Music and Filferro Records. The vinyl contained three brand new songs and an acoustic version of the popular song You Got A Problem Without Knowing It. By the end of the pandemic the 7′ EP ODDBALL was released, containing two songs, a twenty page comic book in full color and a special Oddball embroidered patch (2021). Oddballs, we salute you!

Their latest album God Bless You All was released in February 2023 and was followed by several tours all over Europe. In February 2025 The Baboon Show will release the Forward in Reverse 10′ EP containing 3 brand new songs! The Baboon Show will also celebrate being around as a band for twenty years with a big 20:th anniversary party tour during 2025. Don’t miss out! Come join the party!!!
