Electric Banana Band is a Swedish children's rock band formed in 1980 by comedian and filmmaker Lasse Åberg, singer Klasse Möllberg, and guitarist Janne Schaffer - all three already well-known names in Swedish culture. The band grew out of the SVT children's series Trazan & Banarne, where Åberg and Möllberg played jungle characters Trazan and Banarne. With Schaffer's rock arrangements and Åberg's witty lyrics, the band built a catalogue of songs that have stayed with Swedish audiences across several generations.
Electric Banana Band and Janne Schaffer were announced for a double concert at Dalhalla on 4 July 2026.
The band's 2025 summer tour introduced a new character called Djungel-Jim, with shows in Örebro, Hultsfred and other venues.
The track 'Min piraya Maja' received a new remix version in 2025, released as 'Min piraya Maja (TheTimTom Remix)'.
Upcoming 2026 tour dates include shows in Kil, Huskvarna and Olofström, listed on Janne Schaffer's official tour schedule.
A concert review from Gröna Lund described the band as 'a cult phenomenon, that continues to create contact between children and nostalgia driven adults'.
