NQB was a Swedish Glam / Rock band active 1968-1974 and then reformed in two different settings until 1978. It was one of Sweden's first rock group with only female musicians, among others, Py Bäckman. Py became, in 1973, singer in the band as a 25-year-old and was with them some years. The band toured extensively, both in the Swedish national parks and abroad, during that period.
The group Quidesty Blaise was started in 1966 by Barbro Eriksson and Anita (Krüger) Dunell but was disbanded after a few years. In 1968, Elisabeth Åhlander and Eva Norberg sought members for a new band and got hold of Anniqua Andreasson and Barbro Eriksson who had played with Quidesty. The name of the new band was New Quidesty Blaise. In 1971, they took the name NQB because they were tired of misspellings and wanted to simplify.
The band was formed by Ann-Marie Henning, Anniqua Andréasson, Birgitta Pincott, Elisabet Åhlander, Irene Nilsson, Malou Berg, Py Bäckman (who left after a couple of years) and Wiveca Säwén. They released two Lps and five 7"s, all of them on Hendrix Music Production. Their first album "Two Sides Of" came out in 1972. In 1973 they released four singles and in 1974 they released their last single and the second LP "NQB".
In 1974, the NQB was disbanded but re-emerged in two different settings until 1978.
