Face to the noise

About Me

The band started out in the fall of ´05 after a recording session for band Parkas. A few songs were written and recorded and Maschine Krank found they really enjoyed playing together. Under the banner of the band the different musical influences became a melting pot ruled by the desire to play noisy and fast and, adding electronic noise and soundscapes, to create a tumultous live experience. Maschine Krank is currently writing and recording new songs I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
