Pure Rock from Switzerland !

About Me

»-(¯`v´¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯`v´¯)-« THE BAND'S MEMBERS FIRST START JAMMIN' TOGETHER IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES, BUT IT ISN'T UNTIL 1989 WHEN THINGS SERIOUSLY START ROLLIN'. THE FIVE MUSICIANS FROM GENOCIDE (FORMER NAME) GET TOGETHER IN A STUDIO IN HAMBURG TO CREATE THEIR FIRST MINI LP 'ROOTS IN ROCK' PRODUCED BY DIERK STEFFENS (ACCEPT)... A BIG HIT! IN 1992, AFTER A LONG SERIES OF CONCERTS, THEY CALLED UP JURG NAEGELI (KROKUS) TO IMMORTALISE THEIR NEXT ELEVEN SONGS 'SHOWTIME'. THE GROUP MADE A VERY STRONG NAME FOR ITSELF IN THE WORLD OF HEAVY ROCK. IN 1994 THE BMG RECORD COMPANY SIGNED THEM TO RECORD THEIR NEW DISC 'STRANDED'.THE ROCKERS LATER ACT AS THE BACK UP BAND FOR THE WHOLE KROKUS'S TOUR IN 1995. IN 1997 THE BAND'S STYLE EVOLVED DEFINITELY IN THE DIRECTION OF ROCK AND THEY DECIDED TO REBAPTISE SIDEBURN. 'SELL YOUR SOUL FOR ROCK 'N ROLL' GAVE TO THE MUSICIANS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN FOR KISS IN THE PACKED OUT HALLENSTADION IN ZURICH. END 2000, AFTER SOME LITTLE CHANGES IN THE LINE-UP, THE BAND DECIDED TO COLLABORATE WITH THEIR OLD TIME'S 'GURU' JUERG NAEGELI, AS PRODUCER & SOUND ENGINEER. THE RESULT IS THE ALBUM 'CROCODILE', 12 SONGS MADE OF PURE AUSTRALIAN ROCK (INCLUDING THE COVER SONG 'REMEDY', ORIGINALLY RECORDED BY ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST INFLUENCE: ROSE TATTOO). THIS ALBUM RELEASED IN JANUARY 2002 BY POINT MUSIC HAS BEEN AVAILABLE ALL OVER EUROPE. THE BAND WILL BE TOURING QUITE A BIT TILL THE END OF 2002, THIS HAS LED THE BAND TO OPEN FOR BANDS SUCH AS: SLADE, DIO & THIN LIZZY + SOME HEADLINER'S GIGS IN SOME BIKERS CONVENTIONS AND SEVERAL CLUBS.2003 HAS BEEN A YEAR OF CREATION & RECORDING FOR THE NEW ALBUM "GASOLINE". THE NEW CD HAS BEEN RECORDED & PRODUCED (BETWEEEN MAY AND APRIL) BY JRG NAEGELI. MIXED DURING THE SUMMER BY SERGE CHRISTEN AT MAZZIVE STUDIO & MASTERED AT MSM STUDIOS IN MUNICH.AT THE BEGINNING OF 2004 THE BAND HAS SIGNED A LICENSE DEAL FOR EUROPE WITH POINT MUSIC IN MUNICH. THE NEW ALBUM HAS BEEN RELEASED IN FEBRUARY. FOR THE BAND, "GASOLINE" IS THE EVOLUTION OF "CROCODILE" WITH THE SAME SIDEBURN'S VIBE BUT WITH A MORE FOCUSED SOUND AND SOME CATCHIER SONGS. THIS YEAR HAS BEEN PRETTY BUSY WITH THE BIRTH OF ROLANDS DAUGHTER, LIONEL DAUGHTERS AND SOME INCREDIBLE GIGS WITH KROKUS AND ONE OF THEIR MAIN INFLUENCE, ROSE TATTOO.IN 2005 FOR THEIR 20 YEARSS BIRTHDAY, THE BAND HAS WORKED ON A COUPLE OF NEW SONGS WHICH WILL APPEAR ON A BEST OF ALBUM CALLED ARCHIVES. THIS YEAR ALSO NOTE THE ARRIVAL OF A NEW LEAD GUITAR PLAYER: BORIS. SLAVE TO THE CORE - SIDEBURN LIVE AT THE Z7 30.11.06
