Before the seeds of the Flower Kings were planted, Kings' guitarist/vocalist Roine Stolt was working in the band Kaipa. The isthmus was originally formed under the name Ura Kaipa by Hans Lundin (keys) and Tomas Eriksson (bass) in 1973. The duo had worked together previously in San Micheals and for this project recruited Thomas Sjoberg on drums. Illness forced Sjoberg to leave behind the group the following year, though. His successor was Ingemar Bergman. Stolt linked the band in 1974 besides, shortly later on they had cut the "Ura" from the name of the ring. Their self-titled debut handout, with a cover adorned by a ikon painted by Stolt, was released the following class. Their sophomore oblation, Inget Nytt Under Solen, was recorded and released in 1976. Late in 1977, Eriksson left the band, merely that was surely non to be the last lineup variety for the year. Indeed, the group chose to add a leash singer in the personage of Mats Lofgren. They besides replaced Ericksson with Mats Lindberg before the class was over. Their succeeding disk was 1978's Solo.
By this peak, forces were working to pull the ring apart, and in 1979 Stolt left the group. His successor was Max Ahman. This lineup of the band recorded their following record album, Hander, late in 1979 for a 1980 handout. Throughout 1980, the group went through many problems, though. First they added Torkel Thyrell on bass, just the lineup suffered a serious blow when Lofgren left the group. His successor came in the form of a female, Anne Chaaban. However, neither of the deuce raw recruits was to remain with the mathematical group past November of that same class. In an unusual turn of events, the group recruited Mats Lindberg to supplant Thyrell. However, this Lindberg only bore the same appoint as their premature bassist, only was not the like adult male. Before 1981 was through, Bergman would leave behind the group. So, Kaipa was looking for a new drummer. They establish the substitute in Pelle Andersson. That grouping released the album Nattdjurstid late in 1982. It would rise to be the last for a retentive time. In fact, the band distinct to consider a break up from all the strong shape, simply that smash selfsame nigh became a permanent unmatchable. They would not operate together again until the year 2001 when they re-formed to platter their Notes From the Past album. That record (released in 2002) featured a lineup composed of Lundin, Stolt, Morgan Agren, Patrik Lundström, and Jonas Reingold (world Health Organization Stolt industrial plant with in the Flower Kings).
