Andy Warhol & Calle Häggqvist
Ratfab - The Andy Warhol Singles

“Ask Andy Warhol if he can make a logo for us!”

In 1984, the teenage Carl Haggqvist was given a unique opportunity: during a visit to New York with his uncle and grandfather, he stepped into Andy Warhol’s Factory. Boldly, Carl asked Warhol if he could create a logo for their Swedish band RATFAB. Warhol humbly agreed and produced five hand-drawn versions of the band name. One of them became the cover of their second single, which today is a highly valuable collector’s item and is listed in Andy Warhol’s official catalogue raisonné (Catalogue Raisonné No. 57).

Forty years later, four previously unseen Warhol covers are revealed on a series of limited, colored 7-inch vinyl singles. The first release, “Bang City”, comes on yellow vinyl matching the cover and is limited to 500 numbered copies – a combination of rare music and iconic art.

The single features artists Charlie E and Lira End on each side, both interpreting RATFAB’s “Bang City” in their own way, bridging past and present with a fresh take on a classic song. Both versions capture the spirit of the 1980s while incorporating a modern touch.

“Bang City (Charlie E’s Theme)” is produced and mixed by Oliver Stenberg.
“Bang City (Lira End’s Theme)” is produced by Johan Lindegren and mixed by Oliver Stenberg.

A true collector’s item: Warhol’s Factory meets Stockholm’s new wave – on vinyl for the first time.

This is the first in a series of four singles, each showcasing a unique variant of Andy Warhol’s iconic Ratfab logo.
