Biography
This band was formed in Osby in the mid-60's as BIB Rhythm & Blues Set by singer and guitarist Ingvar Björnson. The band made several line-up changes and also changed their musical direction. In January 1970 the three remaining members released the album It Wasn't Meant To Happen on the Toniton label, a pleasing mix of psychedelic and progressive music featuring long tracks sung in English. It is dominated by a swirling organ and sounds quite similar to Kvartetten Som Sprängde, although much more psychedelic. Soon after the recording, Roland Gärdh quit. BIB Set tried a few new drummers without success, so the band split up. Björnson got a solo deal with Metronome in 1984, naming his backing band BIB Set. It featured none of the musicians from the Toniton album.
