Zitat:""temple thief"

if you know what you want to do, you just got to do it. you're at home wherever the next step leads you to.
we're in london now. born and raised in places like hungary, austria and the remote swiss alps. desire for truth makes people come together and stay together.

in bristol we got the first taste of a life through music, done recordings for local label (sugarshack) and played over 300 gigs all over uk even if no-one was there. EVERY GIG IS IMPORTANT! the music was created in our house in easton/bristol. four bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom, practicing room, backyard to park our ford transit, a ladder to the roof and the neighbour's cat watching over us. we played with bands like the makers, chikinki, the new rhodes, the dawn parade. the greatest memories of that time are supporting the sold out stranglers show at the shepherd's bush empire in london, ashton court festival in bristol (twice), the gig at the eurosonic festival in groningen NL and sveral gigs in nameless pubs in the area of bistol where we had to destroy the sound system because the sound guy wouldn't mix us well enough. that's one of the reasons why we had to change our bandname. the other reason was that we didn't have enough money to pay the council tax bill. at some point we had a swiss tv team doing a documentary about us. the second part of it is under construction.

nevertheless three years after our first english breakfast our van died and we moved apart. what followed was mine work in central europe, bar work in shoreditch, building site work for rammstein in berlin, no work, a pilgrimage through spain, musical evolution, books, smokeless love........ everyone's got to follow their own stars.

two years passed and we're back. wiser, better, closer to what we're here for. we're "temple thief". at home in east london. inspired by the huge input this crazy city brings along. i think it's easy for a monk to find peace in a monestry far away from all harm, do it here and you'll find peace anywhere. we don't live together anymore but we still got the ladder to the roof. my bedroom is our practicing room. never had before the possibility to watch the sky while we're practicing. our demos were recorded in that room or in the studio we built together with our friends from the "liricas analas" crew in our home town. we produce a big sound through hypnotic and rough rythms, destorted guitars, harmonies for weird films, lots of cracks that magnify our honesty behind it and at the centre is the song, the magic, the feel. always evolving, moving, changing to other forms.
