PETER SUBWAY: Alternative Underground-Folk'n Roll with vocals,
guitars, doublebass, drums, didgeridoo, bluesharp…
PETER SUBWAY's origins are to be found in Berlin at the end of the
1980's — a musician playing his guitar on the undergroundtrains.
That's how „Petro Metro“ met a lot of musicians to found
rockbands like „Barking Fish“ and „The Facelifters“.
Peter
found his audiance in cultlocations such as the „Fishbüro“ in
Berlin, that opened its shady cellerrooms to undergroundrockperformers
including performances with the „audionom“ performancegroup „Guitarmonkeys“.
1991
Peter Subway released his first Vinylrecord „Andy Warhol“ on „Twang“.the
critics wrote of this debut. „Genius or madness … almost
extraterrestrial“.
At that time he was performing with „Tornado“ Günther
Thews in the UFA-Fabrik and Chamäleon-Varieté in Berlin
with his several bands in the famous „Quatier Latin“ like „54
Models“ or „No Zen Orchestra“.
In
1993 Peter founded the band „Peter Subway & Destination Green“ together
with the guitarist Marcus Ekert. Some songs were released in the US
on some samplers and he made his first appearance in the USA at the
music-conference „SXSW“ in Austin/TX.
In
1996 his CD „Headland“ was released „Original undergroundrock,
direct and somber, influenced by Punk and Wave…“ wrote
a fanzine. The audience still appreciate songs as „How I Feel“ and „Ghost
In The Machine“.
1999
back in Berlin he recorded his folk-CD „Good Luck“, supported
by Marcus Ekert (guitar), Dieter Dienstag (doublebass) and Zam Johnson
(drums).The CD is influenced and inspired by his journeys. „Good
Luck“ contains the song „Hey Bill I wanna frenchkiss Hillary“ and „Good
Luck bad Luck“. Because, Peter often visited Southeastasia, this
themesong was translated now and recorded with Indonesian schoolchildren
as backroundsingers into Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia) and
played in Indonesia (Jakarta and Surabaya) on the radiostations. „Beruntung
Tidak Beruntung“.
Peter has two bands: Peter Subway & The Tickets (Dieter Dienstag,
Doublebass, and Steve Mood, drums) Rock’n Pop’n Folk’n
Roll-entertainment containing a lot of covers.
2005 the album „Peter Subway & The Tickets“ was
released in Berlin. This album doesn’t contain only some great
folksongs, it shows his passion for rockmusic. www.myspace.com/petersubwaythetickets
SUBWAY STRANGERS (Alternativ-rock).
In this band Peter is rocking hard with Bernie (bass), Detlef (guitar
and voc.), and Steve (drums). New and old rockcompositions are Peters
most passionate project, because all of these songs are out of Peter’s
pen.
Last not least you can meet Peter these days with Dieter Dienstag
or Gero Parker and his Soundmobil in the center of Berlin, or public
places throughout the world.
