The whole idea basically started in 2004, in a handsome summer's night. Sitting around drinking and then one of us came up with the idea of forming a band. We did not take it as serious as it should have been and therefore beside learning some instruments we never really played. Although we planed how this band would look like, who was in it and it actually got the name ' Bittersweet Memories '. We still have this band and we probably will be doing new stuff on their soon. The older times were quiet bad and no one really cared for the band, though. Now, in 2006 we all wanted to restart the thing, inspired through a journey to Berlin (and the K17 ), but with a different tone to it. We hope that nowadays we can pay more attention to it and our whole plans are more structured and realistic than before.
We also changed our genre. We all have a metal background, sort of, but actually playing never really worked. We figured we might get along with another kind of music, that is not as far away as it would be HipHop, but that could be 'easier' for us. Gothic, EBM, Industrial and all this kind of styles do inspire us and therefore we wanted to try us out here.
Without much experience we now formed 'August Moon'. After hours of thinking how we would name this band, and even dicing to filter some phrases we took the spontaneous idea of 'August Moon', though two or three weeks later we figured that it also is a song from The 69 Eyes .
And the moment we are working on our first own songs (that shall later become our first album), though we need to establish this band beside our jobs and school.
We are a band that wants their listeners to think and build an own opinion. We do not want to preach anything or to impart any values - you shall get your own view and interpret the things we do in your way.
We demand ourself to do this thing as close as possible to our allday-life. Why should anyone care for what rockstars are doing, when they have to cope with their own things. But feel free to be inspired by us in your very own way.
