The idea of the band started in 2006 when Andreas and Chris sister Camilla who said that her brother would move to Sweden. She said that he wanted a band.
At that point Andreas decided to begin in the same class as Chris would begin in.
When Chris came to Sweden for the first time Andreas and Chris became very good friends. Chris had also brought a drummer-friend from Norway with him namned Tim. In our class there was also another guitarist named Sebastian.
We did one rehearsel with this line-up because Tim had to quit because of his ears. This happened in december of 2006. They couldn..t take any more loud noices, the doctor had told him he could become def if he countinued play drums. We searched for new drummer in about 2 monthes and found Tompa! One of the greatest drummers in the whole county. Andreas was tired of playing bass so we started looking for a new bassist and found Simon. He played with the band for a while but didn..t show up for rehearsels and we had to fire him. We keept searching for a new bassist. We found Stefan. At that point we were a real band. We played together for a couple of months and then decided that we had to fire another member, Sebastian because of his lack of guitar-skills and rythm. Just a couple of days after this we decided that the band would do it..s last gig at the only booked show that was left. All members thought that it was time to leave the punk-metal-scene and become a New Wave-metal-band instead. The day before our last gig Tompa and Chris started writing songs for the new band and came up with a name.
The bandname was Active Deactive. Dead Donkeys were now dead. All this happend betwen January 2007 - June 2007.
Now it's official!
Dead Donkeys are back! We will start the rehearsels in a couple of weeks and the band member will be Andreas (Vocals), Chris (Guitar) Tubi (Guitar) Stefan (Bas). The drummer will be a secret, you're never gonna see him, but I can promise you all, he's the best! I will keep everyone updated if anything happens!
