Sign in to saveAlso known as Wisex
Wizex is a Swedish dansband formed in Osby in 1973. It purchased the rights to the name from a band that started as Ulrik Wittmans Kvintett in 1957. When Ulrik Wittman left the band in 1963 they started to use the name Wizex. When read out the name sounds like "The Six of Us", "vi sex", in Swedish, and there were six members in the band when the name was changed. Today, the band is considered to have six founders (who were allowed to purchase the name), and hence use 1973 as the starting point.
