Biography
The year of 2003
Band Ravenclaw was founded in the beginning of the year 2003 in town called Košice. It began as a trio of a Mato - guitar and vocals, “Lado“ - guitar and vocals, Juro - drums. In October of 2003 Peto - bassguitar joined the the band. As a trio the already had some songs made so there was nothing in the way in composing more. Most of the music and texts has been done by Mato, but the final cut is done by everyone in the rehearsal room. Our favorite style is heavy power/metal and also most of our songs has that nature. We pay lots of attention to melody of our songs.The year of 2004Unfortunately the year 2004 began as extremely difficult, because we lost our rehearsal room so it happenen to be impossible to compose and to test our songs. As it happened we couldnt do anything until february when we got our first offer to play in the club called TUBA. That was also our fist opportunity to play in front of the big audience on 27 of February 2004. We played 12 of our songs together with some cover songs from Helloween. Despite a very short time to warm up and sound difficulties at the beginning we had an exellent backup from audience over our expectations. As the summer was coming we got more and more opportunities to play live what made us very happy. In May and June we started as the opening band for PUNKREAS and slovakian legend of deathmetal DEPRESY. After that the rest of the summer was inactive what was caused by Peters leaving.
After our summer break we got unpleasant surprise - we lost the rehearsal room again so we could not do anything until November the first. After that we composed and played happyly again in our new rehearsal room.
The year of 2005
The year of 2006
Movement of the band took action fall at the beginning of the year. As a result of differences among members, Peto and Lado decided to leave the band. We were looking for other musician, that would replace them. On 3 of March 2006 we played the last concert in original configuration. Very soon we found good and talented guitar player Peto but there was still problem where to find a good bass player living around Košice. We decided to admit Tonka - sister of our drummer and singer and after also a second guitar player “Mošo“. As it has showed it was a good choice. Mato can fully devote all his energy to singing and the sound of our music is improving. In september our band joined Gabi- keybords. He brought a new traits and new energy into our final sound. After a significant personal changes we starts again, stronger and ready to break through in this field. We will try to do our best!
The year of 2007
In order to please our fans, for 2007 we have made a resolution to improve our music not only in musical, but also in technical aspect. So from the beginning we have focused on playing the concerts more frequently in several Slovak towns and to record a notable demo version. Our desire to contact our fans had been realized on April 12th 2007, when after live concerts in Bratislava and Zilina we have launched our own website www.ravenclaw.sk During 2007 we had gradually fulfilled more of our wishes – we have recorded our first demo version along performing 12 live concerts and winning local music contest "Rebrik" in December with the song "Duality".
The year of 2008
We have set higher aims this year; to perform twice as much as the last year and to record the first record album; if we don’t find competent record label, we will record it on our own. Before the summer holidays, which we had spent working for better equipment, we have appeared on several live concerts, where we have succeeded in the local contest of rock bands "muziKE" by winning the fancy prize of the audience and subsequently in May 2th we have won similar local contest with 10-year-tradition called "ROKOKO".
