The Story Behind: Abba - The Visitors, Ep 208

The Story Behind: Abba - The Visitors, Ep 208

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Abba had an impressive run of pop hits while touring the world non-stop in the 1970s, but as the 1980s came around, they were close to a breaking point, both personally and professionally. The team get together to talk about being in a band with your wife, the Swedish wrecking crew, and where pop catchiness comes from.

Come hang with the guys live in person at The Beverly Crushers album release show in San Francisco - Saturday May 17th at Thee Parkside
