- English version -
We play music cause that's what we like most. Maybe not the smoothest way out for emotions - instead we could cry or laugh occasionnally, or kill, or love someone for real. That would be better indeed, but since we're too well-educated for that, music is all that's left to us. And, hurray! we happen to love it. Deeply, I mean; like we'd probably rather play music than talk to you.
I should also explain why "The Mythmaker", what lies beneath and what crawls beyond - and everything - but I haven't found the right way to introduce it yet.
Besides you don't give a shit, do you.
I'd like to add that we started working on this project very recently, so it may still be a bit clumsy, don't know.
Anyway, I really hope some people will have pleasure listening to our music, that's what we're aiming for.
- Version française -
Friedrich-Lukas von Zahony, 20 ans, est l’un des derniers représentants d’une noblesse européenne authentique. Fidèle au style de vie que menaient ses aïeux, il a vraiment le travail en horreur ; c’est pourquoi aujourd’hui encore il vit des maigres restes du patrimoine que sa famille a laissé à ses parents, lors de leur fuite en Amérique latine, vers le milieu du siècle passé. Cette rente lui a jusqu'à présent permis de couler des jours paisibles dans sa petite résidence du sud de l’Allemagne en compagnie de ses chats.
Lors de sa cure annuelle sur les bords du léman, durant l’été 2006, il fait pourtant la connaissance de Nicolas Chevalier, dit One-Hand Nick, guitariste émérite et pirate à ses heures. Après plusieurs nuits passées à dilapider leurs fortunes respectives au casino de Montreux, celui-ci propose à Friedrich-Lukas de monter un groupe de musique pour tuer l'ennui.
Assez rapidement, ils dénichent Thomas et Maximilien, deux paisibles étudiants de la région assez capables dans leur instrument.
Enfin, un faux prophète errant mais néanmoins avisé intègre la joyeuse bande en tant que bassiste. De plus, il écrit les textes en collaboration avec Friedrich-Lukas, sur des thèmes connus d'eux seuls.
