Bandinfos:

THE HOT WHEELS (BRAUNSCHWEIG)

The combo was founded by Benny and Rene in 2002. After several recasts Frank (guitar/vox Mad Bats) joined them finally … Within the shortest time they played countless concerts together with known bands of the scene. A fire in the rehearsal room had stopped the Hot Wheels for some time. After various single projects of all band members, in December 2007 they decided to reactivate The Hot Wheels in their old combo once more to enter the stages of the world together again … Already after 6 weeks all three of them stood on stage in Bremen and performed a 90-minute set! The euphoria shouldn‘t stop following approx. 40 successful gigs all over Germany in 2008! Its powerful stage show and their unmistakable Neorockabilly sound reaches out to a very broad, diversified audience from the "Rock'n'Roller" up to the "Psychobilly". Because of the good feedback the inquiries have not stopped in 2009, so that you will probably get the opportunity to see the Hot Wheels live in your region!

TOM TOXIC & DIE HOLSTEIN ROCKETS ( KIEL )

"TOM TOXIC & the HOLSTEIN ROCKETS" is probably one of the most popular bands in the north that currently comes along. Only founded in September 2006 by Tom Toxic (vocals/rhythm guitar), Harley "666" Fischer (contrabass), Sweet BabyDoll (drums) and Danny Danger (melody guitar) 3 men and 1 lady can already show a long list of concerts, several sampler contributions and their first CD "Verdammtes Glücksspiel“. Their mix of Rockabilly and Psychobilly mingled here and there with a pinch of Country or Punk Rock - and all of that exclusively in German - is exactly the right thing and meets the nerve of the time. TOM TOXIC & the HOLSTEIN ROCKETS is Rock'n'Roll and „Holstein“billy from the heart of Kiel located in Schleswig-Holstein….

PFEFFER (ELMSHORN)

Your legs always prickle! The four musicians from Elmshorn who were bored by the mainstream and stereotyped thinking formed their band at the beginning of 2001 to show the world a peppered mixture of Ska, Punk, RockaBilly, Rock and Psychobilly. Without a name the four musicians started to play live. For its first concert they all knew their motto by heart: “We will put a lot of pepper under their asses!” A program became a name! Quickly the first five own songs were done and were immediately recorded on CD. This was pepper "like salt"! After many performances from Copenhagen to Bavaria the four have already stood on stage with international and national bands and have played together with, e.g. Demented are Go, ToyDolls (England), PlanetSmashers (Canada) and BossHoss who were inspired of them. Since November 2002 the band has a new CD "wush" in its suitcase as well as a dreadful-nice music video to their song "evil nights" which is on it next to seven other songs. In addition the band produced a Live-DVD in February. In July 2004 the Junx returned to the studio, this time to Dresden . In only 5 days they had recorded 10 songs with the new guitarist Thilo, and the CD which suited the cover well was called, "thirty dirty girlies". In 2006 as a new drummer Volker Hatje came (Ex-Whils, Surfits-drummer) who could play all “Pfeffer” songs within the shortest time as well as the whole "Steve Crown & the slapping candys" repertoire. Their Rock..n..Roll cover band and side project with Steve Crown has got their own name by now and have stood on stage together with bands like Torfrock, Texas Lightning or Revolverheld. In their live shows Stefan Krohn (guitar/vocals), Stephan "Rossi" Rost (contrabass), Volker Hatje (drummer) and Thilo Weging (guitar) give always everything they have got to their always fascinated audience who can always feel their legs prickling ….

ROLLIN´ DICE ( HAMBURG )

After the release of the single "Brand New Dad" in 2006 and a successfull tour from Austria to Norway things got quiet around the power-fiver from North Germany . But now they have returned reshuffled on the show stages of Europe . Meanwhile Arvid aka Hellvis from Mad Sin is on the microphone and after a short guest performance of Choppy (Mad Dog Cole, Nigel Lewis) - the bassist has been replaced by El Baron. "Rollin Dice" calls the style of its own compositions Rockerbilly that goes directly into your ears coming from the biggest German pool of sins. "Rollin Dice" is definitely a live band with a dynamic show and always a guarantor for wine, women and song. For its debut album the band has just signed a record deal with Rod Records. Rollin Dice plays with: Hellvis - vocals, Frank - guitar, Rob Bourbon - lead guitar/ backing vocals, El Baron - bass, Kiwi Martini – drums/ backing vocals.

THE SILVERTONES (WOLFENBÜTTEL)

Far beyond any stereotypes the three guys from Wolfenbüttel have been playing their reckless R 'n' R mix of Rockabilly and obscure ‘50s Rock with a dash of Surf on stages all over the country for over a decade. “It grabs you and makes your bum and hair dangerously moving before it takes you with a strong kick to the Rock 'n' Roll Nirvana… Hi Ho Silver!!” (Johnny Tremor, R.I.P.) .
