Joe totally rocks! He saw that Letzte Instanz was playing in the area of Germany that he's staying in, he wrote their management & got an interview AND got on the guestlist! That is so cool! So, his interview w/ the band can be viewed here. And it seems that w/ that success Joe is going to continue to chase down any German bands that show up in the area, very cool & best of luck, Joe! :) And don't forget that "record" button ;) Mikki

Well i've gone far too long! Lets take into my flight these past few months: graduated college, moved to Washington in hopes of a job, still looking for one, and my computer broke while being shipped! Well it's all fixed now, and I am once again stomping around the ol' world wide web, but this time on dialup. Lousy roomates not wanting broadband. What the eff! Anywhos, my hiatus is over, and bios from me shall come in somewhat, regularly? I hope? Anywho, to make amends, here's a bio for the Berlin electronica group To Rococo Rot. If you like old school krautrock, (Can, Neu!, etc.), To Rococo Rot is up your alley. Until next update from me, cheers! -Nick Diak 10/2003

An interview with Hans Mittendorf can be found HERE. I found it quite interesting actually! :) Mikki

Bio added for Slime. I actually found this band to be pretty damn interesting... I had no idea until I had worked on their bio, which was kind of long which is why I'd neglected it for so long... I mean, it was long & in German... but anyway... That's what I did today :) Mikki

Bio added for the band Sportfreunde Stiller. Took me forever since I'm the laziest person on the planet, sorry!!!!! Mikki
