About Me

..<>WE HAVE A CD AVAILABLE - "LE DORMEUR; A Retrospective 1989-1994". Available in US from the band or CATASTROPHE BALLET RECORDS. Available in Europe from INFRASTITION. Now, here's what our band was about.....<><>Garten Kirkhof was formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1989 with the intent to create, play and perform the type of music that we all liked to listen to. To blend our various influences and come up with our own original sound. Despite line-up changes over the years, this was all achieved and maintained, until we called it quits for personal reasons in 1994. When GK first formed there was only Jeffrey, Veto and Wayne. Drums were provided by a drum machine, which we did not give some silly-assed name to. About a year and several shows later, we managed to convince former Shadow of Fear drummer, Jeff Pell, to join us. Very shortly after this, the drum machine met a tragic death, due to being hurled out of a 11th floor appartment window. The murderer was never found... Garten Kirkhof was initially heavily influenced by Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees and early Christian Death. When we began, we were strictly a Goth band, but as the years passed and guitarists were changed, other influences such as Killing Joke, Bunnydrums, Red Temple Spirits and The Chameleons, to name a few, were tapped into. So we had gradually shifted from Goth into dark Post Punk.<>..
