Bass
About:
It started on June 28th 1980, when I was on my first live-concert of Led Zeppelin with fifteen years! I discovered my love to guitar-rockmusic and founded a band named "Dieyoung", where I played drums.
In the age of sixteen, "filled up" with concerts of Frank Zappa, The Who, Black Sabbath and so on, I changed to the bass and founded the Hardrockband named "Mashroom". In those days the music-scene in Wiener Neustadt was full of life! Even 30 bands where playing week in week.
At that time I met our drummer Stefan, who played in the band "Wide Spread", also the famous Gerald Gradwohl played the "metal-axe".
Abitur and start working in 1984, stopped my music-career, but always thought on a new-start, year by year I watched countless gigs and festivals.
Three years ago, I met Markus and started to make music with him. Therefrom grows a huge friendship and through the love to music the band "Why Not". Together we celebrated many live acts.
However we wanted to make our own songs and that dream came true with "Pinky on Speed". Markus brought the full-blooded singer Thomas and I had the luck to met Stefan after 20 years, who joined the band after a short time thinking over with his "burning" hands!
