After releasing a number of records in the 1980s, the Nomads toured extensively and built a large fanbase without any significant rotation on either radio or television. In 2001, they celebrated their 20th anniversary with a gig in Stockholm that included appearances by members from
Bob Hund,
Sator,
the Flaming Sideburns, Robert Johnson, and Punchdrunks, as well as members of the original lineup. At their gig at the
Hultsfred Festival, the band once again took the opportunity to celebrate, with guest appearances by
Nick Royale, Chips Kiesbye,
Handsome Dick Manitoba,
Ross the Boss,
Jello Biafra,
Chris Bailey, Odd Ahlgren, and
Wayne Kramer.
20 Years Too Soon – A Tribute to the Nomads, was released in 2003, with bands like
the Hellacopters,
Electric Frankenstein,
the Dictators, the Robots,
Bob Hund, and Nitwitz contributing with their own version of their favorite Nomads songs. In 2008, the Nomads shared the stage with
Roky Erickson at the
Peace & Love festival in Sweden. ==Discography==
