B4 Sunrise

Art Rock meets Electronica

About Me

B4 SUNRISE is the youngest incarnation of a longer line of bands and projects originating from the area of Alzey (near the city of Mainz, near Frankfurt).
The constellation Reinhold Krämer (keyboards, vocals), Wolfgang Bechtluft (guitars, vocals) and Michael Brückner (electronics, production) exists since about the year 2000.
For a couple of reasons the trio is (still) a studio project and accomplished two albums and one EP yet, "Outside Travel" (2003), "Martians" (2006) and "The Only Child" (2005).
Also the third album is finished now:
"Poison Tongue" (2008)
Originally mainly King Crimson-inspired, B4 Sunrise features eclectic art rock, mixing a great variety of stylistic gestures (progressive rock, folk, dance, ambient, psychedelic, metal - to name but a few...) to their own unmistakable sound.
Wolfgang Bechtluft (WollotoW) and Michael Brückner also pursue solo projects - if You are interested, You can find their profiles among B4 Sunrise top-friends.
