  When the Guano Apes began in 1994, the four from Goettingen, all in their early 20’s, were already virtuosos on their instruments: Bassist Stefan Ude slaps, strokes, and pounds his four strings in a frightening manner. Drummer Dennis Poschwatta makes a first impression like that of Animal from the Muppet Show, guitarist Henning Rümenapp has a well versed understanding of the rare art of setting sound accents & Sandra Nasic sings her contemporaries into the dirt! Sometimes aggressive, sometimes silky-soft, and always loaded with emotion, she constantly imports new colors into the music! The band brought all of this under one roof on PROUD LIKE A GOD, their debut album in October, 1997 in Germany which included the hit "Open Your Eyes", which even enjoyed some success in the US. Their first success was when they won Germany’s most highly endowed up-and-coming Battle of the Bands competition in 1996 & they've been going strong ever since. They're newest CD is called, "Don't Give Me Names". -Mikki 12/01 More at: |
