In 1983, the very same year Kraftwerk released Tour de France and Dolly Mixture released Demonstration Tapes, Sarah Nyberg Pergament was born in Trelleborg, Sweden. She moved to Gothenburg at an early age and with both of her parents working as professional musicians she early developed a strong sense and great passion for music and art. After three years of design and artschool and appearances in various musical contexts Sarah sat down by the computer and started writing and producing her own songs. Sometime in the early winter of 2002 the music started to take form and she named her one-woman project Action Biker after the classic C64-game.
During 2002, Action Biker played some club gigs and at the swedish twee festival Mitt Bästa Liv. The same year Break & Enter released her debut 7", "Sandy Edwards" named after a character in the australian soap opera Prisoner: Cell Block H. Sarah moved to Paris where she studied french, did some sporadic DJ:ing and refilled her energy and inspiration. Her second single "Elephant and Castle" was released in 2003 by english label WIAIWYA (Where It's At Is Where You Are). Same year she moved to Stockholm where she co wrote "My Everything" with Lars Blek. She also joined a band called Kissing Mirrors. Collaboration with Tomas Bodén of Differnet resulted in dance project Flow Flux Clan, first release was a cover of The Cures "Fascination Street". She didn't do alot of new Action Biker music, but made music for a short movie by Geoff Howell. She has also been collaborating with Kevin Wright, known from Always and Mr Wright. They call their project "The Dreamers" and released their debut album "Day for Night" on Friendly Noise in 2007.
The debut album "Hesperian Puisto", was released in April this year by Friendly Noise. It gained 4 out of 5 in the swedish morning paper Dagens Nyheter. One of the songs "Love for sure" also appears in the tv show "The Middleman" which premiered on ABC Family in the US in June.
