TVK
Keyboardist VocalistHe enhances the songs with a musical sound carpet, brings in interesting soli and delivers ideas for the songwriting. He is always cheerful, but sometimes not accessible. Those who met him will know, that in his thoughts he's already with the next project. His musical influences are Rammstein & AC/DC but also bands like A-ha, Simple Minds, Blondie or German new wave.
ZAPPO
Bassist Guitarist VocalistComposer, arranger, visonary and the one, who brings it forward. He supplies ideas, writes most of the lyrics and is respionsible for the recording. Musical influences: classic rock bands like Judas Priest, Rush, Iron Maiden, Saga, Saxon, Deep Purple and recent stuff like SUM 41, Rise Against, blink 182, SR-71, Bullet for my Valentine. And keep in mind: he is Def Leppard fan from the beginning.
AKKI
Drummer VocalistHis strong sense of repartee is legendary: with his fundamental drumming he is delivering the special "grip" of the sound. Without a doubt he is the joker of the band. Musical influences an favourite bands: Toto, Judas Priest, Saxon , Van Halen, Foreigner, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard and Dream Theater.
BORSTEN
Guitarist VocalistHe is a passionate guitar tinkerer, well equipped with a distinctive hearing for right (and wrong!) tones. He is the nerd, who tries any shade until everything sounds like it should do. In collaboration with Zappo he is critic and co-writer as well and while playing his guitar he is spontanously blasting some licks, tricks and riffs, which find their way into the songs. Musical preferences? Everything that sounds harmonic - whatever, classic or heavy metal.
