About Me

..
In the summer of 2007, after more than ten years of playing in conventional Rock and Punk bands, two best friends decided to realise what they've always wanted to do. A two man band with lots of electronic synthie sounds, and a backing band that never loses the beat, an iPod nano.
The idea of a two piece band is not new. It has been used quite successfully by several bands in the UK and Germany. WNM didn't reinvent the wheel but have developed a unique sound. They've managed to develop their own style, that sounds retro and modern at the same time.
They have been influenced by the music of the 70's and 80's, also there is a good portion of old school punk rock. Especially in the lyrics, you can often hear punk rock tendencies. When you listen to WMN you often find political topics alongside songs with very personal feelings, also pop ballads with themes taken from everyday life.
Since the off take, WNM has proven very popular on myspace. Clocking up over 150,000 plays and hits in the first six months! Although still very much in its infancy (They only formed in October 2007), they have written enough material for an album (which can be purchased online or at one of their shows), and can rock any audience at one of their shows. What you really notice is how much fun the guys have on stage and how they manage to motivate even a lackluster crowd. They are continually writing and recording new material in their (little) studio, which they have now based in Hamburg, Germany.
Lxx and Kevo have successfully worked over the years with countless other bands and musicians including Abdoujaparov and iDou (Les Carter AKA Fruitbat from Carter USM), Warhead (Germanys top metal act with over 5 studio albums recorded and sold world wide), John Hayes (Mother's finest), Rozencrantz (voted Germanys top gothic rock newcomer) and Shizuko (Electro gothic rock) to name just a few.

Im Sommer 2007 entschlossen sich zwei Freunde, nachdem sie über 10 Jahre in conventionellen Rock- und Punkbands gespielt hatten, endlich das zu realisieren, was sie schon immer wollten. eine zwei mann Band mitvielen Eletro und synthiesounds und einer backingband, die sich niemals verspielt, einem iPod.
Die Idee einer zwei mann Band ist nicht neu. Es wurde schon erfolgreich von einigen bands sowohl im UK als auch in Deutschland umgesetzt. WNM erfinden das Rad zwar nicht neu, haben allerdings ihren eigenen unverwechselbaren sound entwickelt.Sie haben es geschafft einen Stil zu kreieren, der sowohl Retro als auch modern klingt.
Beeinflusst werden sie von der Musik der 70er und 80er Jahre gewürzt mit einer ordendlichen Portion oldschool Punkrock. Besonders in den Texten ist der Hang zum Punk sehr gut zu erkennen. Wenn man sich WNM anhört findet man häufig sowohl politische Themen als auch sehr persönliche Gefühle und Popballaden die aus dem Leben gegriffen sind.
Seit ihrer Gründung erfreuen sich WNM einer enormen Beliebtheit bei Myspace. Über 150.000 mal wurde ihre Songs schon angehört und das waren erst die ersten 6 Monate. Obwohl die Band noch mehr oder weniger in den Kinderschuhen steckt ( gegründet im Oktober 2007) haben sie genügend Material geschrieben um ein Album an den Start zu bringen (das kann man entweder online bestellen oder bei Konzerten käuflich erwerben) und können wirklich jedes Publikum rocken. Ws bemerkenswert ist, der enorme Spaß den die beiden Jungs auf der Bühne entwickeln mit dem sie sogar die langweiligste Meute motivieren können. Sie schreiben laufend neue Songs und nehmen diese in ihrem (kleinen) Studio, das sich mittlerweile in Hamburg befindet, auf.
Lxx und Kevo haben in den letzten Jahre erfolgreich mit zahlreichen Bands und Musikern zusammengearbeitet, darunter Bands wie Abdoujaparov und iDou (Les Carter AKA Fruitbat von Carter USM), Warhead (eine von Deutschland Top Metal Acts mit mehr als 5 Studioalben, die sich weltweit verkaufen), John Hayes (Mother's Finest), Rozencrantz (Deutschlands Top Gothic Rock Newcommer) und Shizuko (Electro Gothic Rock), um nur einige zu nennen.
