Germany: My band. June 29, 2004

As the title indicates, I joined a band.
It started like this, kinda... I was at a friend's place and we were playing some sort of game. I was trying to get the German word for "br ainfreeze" (aka "the ice cream headache"). But they don't have a word for it!! Most of them aren't even aware that it exists (I drunk a ton of ice-cold Coke really quickly and got brainfreeze, so it does exist here!).

So, the next day I was at a different friend's place (however, she wa s at the original friend's place the day before). A few of us were han ging out signing songs with the guitar. I decided we needed to write a song ourselves. So I wrote a song about brainfreeze in German.

So Inge suggested that we play our song in the Jesus Freaks music pra ctice room. Shortly thereafter we decided to start our band. I think w e're called "Brainfreeze".

So, we now have two original songs, and we're working on more (includ ing parodies).

Well, what's a band without pictures? Here are some:
Ok, Inge is not the drummer, but here she is drumming:

And then we had some publicity shots taken:

So, that's our band. We're cool:-D

Cool!

I'd wondered where you found drums.

What's your other song, besides the brainfreeze one? Are you the only songwriter, or do Inge and Nadja write too? Post some lyrics or even some videos, if you can do that kind of thing on your computer. I'd like to hear you play, and I rather doubt you'll be on tour quite this distance from your home studio!
