About Me

Kleingeist, German for "small spirit", are bound around the songs and lyrics of singer/songwriter Mato Von and take their blend from their various influences, whether rock, blues, folk, indie or country, into their transformed view upon the world, its unquestionable love, interminable passion and its lovely people;

For right now live we play as a duo, always with vocals/guitar, either with lead guitars/bass or drums on the 2nd side.
Whatsoever, out of ideas to write in here, so far: Note to self: Everything will come out good. Swallow. Swallow.
Tune in. And have your say on it.

It's not (exactly) thoughtcontrol so far, before you take your hat - feel free to say hello and drop a note; at any time; throughout your sojourning. In other words: We love support if you like the idea of this stuff yet on here, and also, we long for opinions, so feed us with reviews, messages or comments. Thanks for your time.
