Östen med Resten

Östen med Resten (sometimes spelt Östen mä Resten) is a Swedish music group from Hälsingland. It was formed in 1985. The original members were Östen Eriksson, Jens Kristensen and Nisse Damberg. The name, which literally means "Östen with the rest", was coined by Lasse Berghagen in 1986, when the band was to perform in Järvsö together with the singer Lill-Babs. It is a pun on "Östen med Rösten" (Östen with the voice), which was the sobriquet of Östen Warnerbring.[1]
