SAN QUENTIN

About Me

DEUTSCHE VERSION
San Quentin wurde im Oktober 2007 gegründet, um kraftvollen, anspruchsvollen und interessanten Oldschool-Metal zu spielen.
Die Idee hinter San Quentin wurde von Christian Winand und Martin Prinzen erdacht (beide kennen sich schon seit längerer Zeit und spielten auch schon zusammen in einer Metalband namens Mantide). Sie begannen, nach weiteren Bandmitgliedern zu suchen und "rekrutierten" Martins Bruder Andreas (welcher auch in einer Funkband namens Fanomen spielt). Der leere Platz auf dem Schlagzeughocker wurde von Fred Gieselbach eingenommen, welcher, nach einer extrem zufriedenstellenden ersten Jam-Session, sofort gebeten wurde, San Quentin beizutreten.
In dieser Formation begann man, Songs einzustudieren, die teilweise schon vor Jahren geschrieben wurden. Es war immer ein Traum von Chris und Martin gewesen, diese Songs mit einer Band zu spielen, und dieser Traum wurde durch die Gründung von San Quentin Wirklichkeit.
Seit der Gründung in 2007 entwickelte sich die Band ziemlich schnell, indem sie die Songs lernte und ihnen Leben einhauchte. Sie stellten Ihre Homepage www.sanquentin.de online und begannen, nach Auftritten zu suchen.
Das Jahr 2008 scheint sehr interessant und vielversprechend für die Band zu werden. Sie veröffentlichten eine Vier-Song-Demo und spielten bereits einige Gigs und werden auch noch weitere spielen, um den Metal-Fans das zu geben, was sie am besten können: Metal!
ENGLISH VERSION
San Quentin was formed in October 2007 to create powerful, demanding and interesting oldschool metal.
The idea of San Quentin was created by Christian Winand and Martin Prinzen (both know each other for quite a long time and even played together in a metal band called Mantide). They started to look for further band members and „recruited“ Martin's brother Andreas (who is also playing in a Funk Band called Fanomen). The place behind the drums was finally filled by Fred Gieselbach who was, after an incredibly sastisfying first jam session, immediately asked to join San Quentin.
In this formation the band began to learn songs , which have to some extent been written years ago. It was always a dream of both Chris and Martin to play these songs with a band and this dream came true by forming San Quentin.
Since the foundation in 2007 the band began to develop really fast by learning songs and finally bring them to life. They launched their homepage www.sanquentin.de and started searching for gigs.
Now, in 2008, the band is confronted with an interesting and promising year. San Quentin released a four-track demo and played (and will play) several gigs in order to give the metal fans what they can do best: Metal!
