History:
The following article applies Occam..s razor, ..cause the entertainment value of a detailed band-history would be quenstionable..
After Philipp and Dim broke up with their first band in 2004, they started searching for young and talented musicians to create a new dynamic project. The first one they got on board was Martin, who suprises everyone with his bass-skills. This first ascents were followed by a dry spell, ..cause despite a supra-regional search no suitable drummer was found. The 14-year-old Bettina has only been in acquaintence with the drumsticks for a short time – so the subject didn..t came up. When the existence of the young band, which couldn..t even be named a “band”, was faced with the end, the penny has dropped out of nothingness to the young drummer Betty. The band was temporary completed. It didn..t took long until the first ten songs, of which only "Chill Out" is still performed on stage, were written so that the first gig was possible at the 17th September, 05 in Zottelstedt. After a couple of other gigs at local stages the quartet recognized, that another guitartist was necessary for their music, which was increasingly developing to something like Funk/NuMetal. The suitable person was found in Enrico, who got on board in January 2006. The band grew up to an compact unit and paved their way among the local core-scene and their own interests – bringing funky beats to the stages of Thuringia and Germany - and became an established band in Thuringia. In September 2007 two new members joined the band – saxophonist Sophie and trombonist Jakob…to be continued… So far we can look back to an respectable amount of shows, what should be demonstrated by some references above.
