Swedish jangle pop trio The Charade is Ingela Matsson (vocals), ex-Red Sleeping Beauty and Shermans member Mikael Matsson (keyboard, bass, drums), and ex-Happydeadman member Magnus Karlsson (guitar, vocals). Karlsson met Mikael Matsson at a party in Stockholm in 2004, and due to distance they decided to exchange recordings through e-mail. They issued three albums through Skipping Stones Records: The Best Is Yet To Come (June 2005), A Real Life Drama (June 2006) and Keeping Up Appearances (November 2008).
