It was the cold month October of the year 2004, when the three boys from Bad Hersfeld/Germany Christopher Kerth (Crazy Chris), Maximilian Rossing (Mad Max) and Julian Witte (Jumpy Julian) decided to form a Rockabilly-Band.
All of them were able to play the guitar, but you cant form no real Rockabilly-Band with three guitars. They needed someone who could play drums and someone who was able to play a bass-fiddle. Julian Witte decided to buy a bass-fiddle and learned to play it rather fast. Luckily they found a drummer, much older, but he was into Rockabilly just the same.
They played their fist gig in February of 2005 in Fulda. Though it was on a Ska-Allnighter, the people liked their style, which was something unusual to them.They played many gigs on school-events, private parties, in several clubs and even at a newcomer-contest, where they were ranked as the second best band.Soon the drummer left them and a much younger player named Erik Kayan entered the band.Some demo Cds where recorded, but the sound was not good enough to get the gigs they wanted to have.No doubt, the 06/04/06 was the best day in the short history of the band, when they had the luck to perform at the weekender in Walldorf. They really enjoyed it, and many people of the crowd liked to see them up on stage. It was not only the most exciting gig, besides it was their first gig in front of a Rockabilly audience. The weekend after their gig in Walldorf they recorded some songs in Münster/Germany within two days. Unluckily they had to find a new drummer for this session. Finally they found Patrick Rexroth, who did a great job, though he had played the songs only a few times before. Now they are hot and want to perform more gigs in front of people who like the Rockabilly music just the same!
