Wishes on a Plane

this is more than a confession

About Me

we're a fourpiece from Munich, Germany playing some kind of postrock between calm melodies and noisy harshness, a well structured mixture of soft instrumental epics and straight forward rockparts with a fragile voice. whispering. still screaming.
since our beginning in 2002 we played about 70 shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

we'd love to play in your town, wherever you are and we'd love to meet you, whoever you are. and we're cheap, all we need is some food, a place to sleep and some gas money.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/10/2005
Band Website: wishesonaplane.de
Band Members: Anna Sorokina (Bass), Daniel Becker (Guitar, Vocals); Paul Meyer (Drums); Tobias Blümke (Guitar)
Influences: Daniel: early influences were punk like NoFX, Lagwagon, No Use. Ataris got me into playing the guitar, Jimmy Eat World got me into that emotional mid 90ies stuff like Mineral, Christie Front Drive, Penfold, New End Original (Better than this might still be one of the 5 best songs ever written) or Get Up Kids. Appleseed Cast got me into longer songs, more epic, less pop, less singing, like Mono, Red Sparowes, Explosions in the Sky, later I discovered some hardcore stuff which still has to be passionate and melodic, like Julia, La Quiete, Saddest Landscape, Isis and now it's a mixture of all mentioned above (except for the punk part) and a lot of bands and people I got to know through trading and shows, like Mr Willis of Ohio, Kenzari's Middle Kata, Grave, Shovel... Let's Go!, Kitty Empire, Rabbit Theory, Petethepiratesquid and loads of others
Tobi: Offspring, Green Day, Blink 182, Sum 41, Paradise Lost, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Moonspell, Metallica, Rage against the Machine, Creed, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses, Jimmy Eat World, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Elliot Smith, Bon Jovi, Beatles, Marilyn Manson and many more, but i think all bands listed here had or still have a great impact on my play. Through the last years i had to add a few bands like Red Sparrows, Isis, Appleseed Cast, God is an Astronaut...
Anna: FIRST: Guano Apes, Korn, Slipknot, Static-X, Deftones, A perfect circle LAST: At the Drive-In, Glassjaw, AFI, Blackmail, The Mars Volta, Isis, Red Sparowes, Final Fantasy, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Maserati, Ostinato, The Cooper Temple Clause, Appleseed Cast, Thoughts Paint the Sky, Air, Dredg, Björk
Paul: still to come
Sounds Like: Tell us!
Type of Label: None
