Servus, shalom and salaam,
Sølus started off as three friends jamming together in their drummer's basement in 2004. The lineup consists of Burger (Drums,18), Kle (Bass,18) and Steffen (Guitar,18) and Benedikt J. Behnke (Vocals,19). While at first we were jamming to Classic Rock songs by Led Zeppelin and The Who, we soon tried to figure out more progressive stuff like Rush and Dream Theater.
We've been playing mostly for the fun of it and the will of getting better at our instruments. In 2006 we attended the MainPOP BandCamp, where our first small gig took place, followed by some minor side appearances.
During a three-day-session in 2007 we wrote our first song, Egyptian Walls, a rather proggy instrumental.
In March 2007 we decided to engage Benedikt Behnke, a 17 year old singer and composer after listening to some of his tracks and jamming with his vocals.
Then, in summer 2008 we pulled ourselves together and recorded our first EP. About a week of recording work which produced three songs. 6 months later, the EP being mixed, mastered and re-recorded to the best of our capability, it is released officially at our show in Schweinfurt (04/04/2009).
Looking back on quite a lot of shows in the last couple of months (Rock im Wok, MainPOP Junior Award, Emergenza...), we'll try to focus on writing some new material. :-)
Stay tuned!
