Himmel formed spontaneously sometime in late 1981 as a "jam" outlet for various members of the late 70s, early 80s rock/new wave band "Mannequin"; I still remember vividly "sitting in" during rehearsals... Henry or Art would throw you a shaker, a kalimba or tamboura and it was thrilling to feel as if part of the band. But Himmel was not a jam-band; the pieces were complex, and worked-out. Still one of my all time favorite bands!
We'll try to put up some samples of live versions; the songs on this site were recorded at Toby "Become a Rock Star Today" Torres' old studio next to Taco Haven on South Presa street in San Antonio, Texas.

"Tabriz"....it's an ancient city that is
in the general region of where Gurdjieff spent his youth before departing...
