	Nicola "Butcher" Posa Date of birth: Don't remember Short biography: I began to play the piano when I was six and after five years of torture I got tired. In junior high I began to play bassguitar and in 1989 I started my first band called "Twilight". In 1995, two guys from Halmstad asked me if I wanted to join their band "Season". Together we made a couple of demos and gigs in Halmstad. "Season" is still going strong. After a few years at the University of Växjö, I moved to Gothenburg in 1999, so I could be with my darling Annika and work as a teacher in music. In search for a band I began to play soul, funk and jazz. I joined a band called "Body Snatchers" and played with them for two years. In 2001, I met a couple of latin americans and began to play salsa in a band called "Salzucar". Last year, 2002, me and my pregnant wife decided to move back to my hometown Halmstad. In august 2003, after reading an interview made with "VII Gates" in the local paper, called Hallandsposten, I phoned Mick van Slowfoot and asked him if the band needed a bassguitarist. The answer was that they needed one who could rehearse with them, because their bassguitarist were in Australia for a couple of months. After the second rehearsel the band decided to switch bassguitarist. Lucky me!
