Vacum was formed in 1979 by Stephan Segermark, Mats Hammerman and Cathrine Fandén. They convinced Stephans neighbour Lars Holma to join on bass and on the 23rd of March they had their first concert under the name of Smudge with a repertoire of Three Girl Rumba (Wire), No Heart (The Vibrators), Louie Louie (The Stooges version), Last Orders (The Fall), Sunday Morning Nightmare (Sham 69) and six self penned songs. On the next gig all the covers were gone and the band changed name to Vacum. Read more on Last.fm
