Steampacket was a Swedish soul-pop band formed in 1965, initially under the name Steampacket. To avoid confusion with the similarly-named Rod Stewart/Brian Auger group, they changed their name to Steampacket II in Sweden and adopted the name The Longboatmen during their tours in England. The band, composed of students from Solbacka läroverk in Stjärnhov, included members Rolf Scherrer (vocals, guitar), Mikael Ramel (vocals, guitar), Staffan Winbergh (drums), and Stefan Ekeström (bass), who was later replaced by Per Bruun in the autumn of 1966. Anders Nord (organ) joined the band at a later stage. The Longboatmen/Steampacket II disbanded in 1968.
