The Hankster

About Me

Wir suchen zuverlässige und fähige Musiker, die Timing fest sind und zu ihren Abmachungen stehen: Leute die regelmässig zur Probe kommen und die nicht absagen , wenn ihnen ein Furz quer hängt oder die Freundin lieber doch in den Biergarten will.a Bootsy / Dr. Funkenstein quote: if you hear any funky fuzz - it ain..t nobody but us... the bigger the headache - the bigger the pill ...Kill Ugly Radio ! (FZ) The Torture Never Stops (FZ)a few bands the hankster played for so far: Diving Duck (Blues), 6 Without Max (Rhythm..n Blues), Fatal (Alternative Pop), Androids On Acid (Alternative Rock), Fresh Familee (Hip Hop), Sweet William (New Wave, Gothic Psychedelic Rock), Smagma 5 (funk), Nilg (Krautrock, Electro 1 year substitute for their emigrated bass player), Cozmic Crew (Funk), Reefer Men (Funk, Pop), Spacy Trichter (Funk, Rock), Coco Roadshow (Funk), Rockingham (Rock)i quite obviously like "good" musicians but equally important for them to have is a certain sense of humor, also about themselves... i don..t like people who take themselves or their art & skills too seriously, being arrogant snobs. GROOVE IS IN THE HEART !
