About Me

rocking the world since 1994, when i had my first concert with my former band LE CRAVAL, i'm still here right now! older but not a bit wiser...
after all these years i still enjoy making music, playing concerts and getting drunk. i think, it's no overstatement to call me a kind of dinosaur or something similar.
at this time i'm so realistic to know, that i'll never become rich and famous, but who cares??? it's enough satisfaction for me to know that i've experienced so many things over the years being on the road. i was lucky enough to play the biggest festivals in austria (that time) like forestglade, two days a week, ... and shared the stage with amazing bands like deftones, blink 182, bloodhound gang, creed, die fantastischen 4, die happy, farmer boys, keith caputo, attwenger, tito & tarantula, such a surge, sportfreunde stiller, 4lyn, liquido, stereo total, hans söllner, pyogenesis, naked lunch, xavier naidoo, kurort, ...
after we decided to have a break with le craval (we played about 150 gigs together) i changed the sides and started to work as a concert photographer and i had a great time for about 6 years. in this time i nearly had every huge band in front of my lens, just like marilyn manson, green day, slipknot, just to name a few.
four years after our last gig we thought it's about the right time to do an official last show with le craval in 2007. what can i say: it was just amazing! it's an unbelievable feeling to hang the "sold out" sign on the doors, because of the venue's capacity of only 800. about 300 people had to stay outside and watch the show on the video screens.
in november 2007 i decided to discontinue my photographic ambitions due to a massive loss of inspiration.
at the same time i started to make music again with LOBSTER who were searching for a bass-player. i really love it to be on stage again, and my first gig after the break was like i've never been away... in august 2008 i made the decision to get out of lobster.
