Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In July 2006, Sergej Schwarzkopf and Tobias Eisermann aka Ploehr decided to start something new after many bands, playing different instruments and learning much about music and it's business. With this experience they are writing new songs and performing them as a duo, and it seems to work better than ever. They've already had two successful gigs supporting German artist Kolkhorst, giving them a lot of motivation for the future. At this time, they have begun work on their first CD. Their songs utilize elements from Reggae, Dancehall and Drum n Bass, while incorporating heavy effects and German lyrics, making them very original and appealing to a wide audience
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Were just two people but we play our music live with sampler and sequencer loops and real played guitar and keys with overdubed male vocals singing it also live.
