Their first live performance was in a club located in Bonn known as Carpe Noctem as a sample for a scout from Virgin Records who had come there to judge their performance.

The band was initially formed through a local magazine known as "Visions" that had a contact advertisement for new musicians. The band is said to be greatly influenced by sounds of the 1960s and the 1980s, particularly artists such as The Beatles, The Who and Depeche Mode. 1.3 Bliss, Please, Friend Or Foe? and Summer Sonic (2001-2004)Ĭareer history Formation (1993-1996).1.2 Blackmail and Science Fiction (1997-1999).
