About Me

Seit 1983 in der Berliner Mod-Scene verwurzelt. Von den ersten Martens vom Schöneberger Blue Moon ueber die Prisoners..Taste of Pink von Mr. Dead, bis zum Friedrichshainer Mod-Allnighter des letzten Wochenendes sind wir dabei, wachsen aus den Chelsea-Boots einfach nicht raus!******************************************************* ************** Moving party of the 8T's Mod-revival and founder of the paisley-faction within this scene. W/ strong bonds to Hamburg and D'dorf at these times. 1st gig ever after 2h practice in a garage was held at Berlin's NAAFI-Club (a club for the British military-forces in Berlin) in october 1985. We were then between 13-18 years old. It mainly consisted of a losely repeated combination of versions from Hang on Sloopy, Louie Louie and Farmer John, accompagnied by Batman-Theme, Hey Joe and Sex and Violence! Due to the cheap beer-price it happened to be tremendous success. So we kept on doing what we've learned from this, drinking and playing - until the sun comes out! see also my personal site at: ************************************************************ *** www.myspace.com/captaincorto ************************************************************ *************news at: ************************************************************ *** www.readysteadygo.info ************************************************************ ************* buy stuff at: ************************************************************ *** www.twang-tone.de/mo.html ************************************************************ ************* and ************************************************************ *** http://www.copasetic.de/ ************************************************************ ************* shop for records in Berlin at: Mr. Dead and Mrs. Free, Bülowstr. 5, 10783 BerlinContact Tables
