Forgotten North

THE LOOSEST BAND IN THE NORTH

About Me

The final line up is born Sascha "Sir Lord Doom" Maurer - Vocals Vera Hippauf - Keyboards / Violin Peter Schäfer - Drums Birger Ohlsen - Guitars Jesco Wolter - BassguitarFor the backingvocals and future second leadvocals we proudly present the beautiful (in every way) and mysterious Lady Tink.FORGOTTEN NORTH WILL BE BACK IN 2007! We once used to start as a little band rehearsing in a little barn in a little town in Schleswig Holstein (Northern Germany), got an idea what we'd love to play, did it, developed, split once, got back together, were mature enough to record the album we alway wanted to record, split again due to, let me say, not so pleasant circumstances that often lead great bands to call it a day. Before the second split we released "Beschwörung" and could have made it further if we only knew how or maybe if the people around us in whom we trusted and believed only did. Well, 6 years have gone since the dark clouds occurred at the sky, 3 years since the band called it quits...and now the old wars have all been fought, the wounds have closed and our personal insanity has not lost any power but brought us fresh inspiration. In short: We're back...so you better watch out!NEWS Feb. 19th 2007 The first meeting last saturday was very successful, we have a new female singer now, who is the girlfriend of our bassplayer plus a new second leadguitarist, an 18 years old youngster who plays it like the devil...be prepared for more...News June 14th 2007 The band is complete now with our old friend and original keyboardist and violinist Vera rejoining our ranks. So now we can march on for glory, honour, fame and fortune and a beautiful Porsche or Ferrari instead of an old second hand Volkswagen with a damaged engine (Watch out...Sascha's stupid humor). We hope to be welcomed back with open arms by old and new fans, friends, syblings...we love you [email protected] (Sascha) [email protected] (Peter) [email protected] (Jesco)We will definitely answer you!We dedicate our works to the memory of our early bassplayer Clauw W. Dieck (1976 to 1999), float in peace, old pothead.
