Change Your Dealer + Freund Hein

Change Your Dealer
Over almost 20 years ago Christian (bass) and Dennis (drums) met during their
mandatory social service.One day on the way home they started talking about music
and discovered they were much into the same stuff like 24-7-SPYZ, Living Colour,
King X, Soundgarden and likewise.
It was not easy getting a band together since everytime when a line-up seemed
finally complete something happened.Chris (singer) joined the band in 2004, he was
an old buddy of Dennis. They worked together in the Markhalle, a famous venue in
Hamburg, Germany. Chris was the one who came up with the bands name.They
started writing songs together and went on looking for a bass-player.
But finding the last piece of the puzzle wasn’t that easy, so after many tryouts and
experiments with different bassists Christian finally decided to change from guitar to
bass, sensing it was much easier to find a good guitar-player than bassist.
Enter Jan, lead-guitarist from band „Devils Day Off“ whom Chris knew. He was
always open for new projects, so he was invited for a jam session! It immediately
clicked between the four and C.Y.D. in its current setup was born. In the meantime
the connection between C.Y.D and DDO was further strengthened with Christian
joining DDO as 2nd guitarist.
Over the past years they played a lot of local shows in Clubs like Cobra
Bar,Kaiserkeller,Headcrash,Logo and of course Markthalle ! They supported various
bands including Raging Slab,Corroded from Sweden and The Help (featuring Doug
Wimbush from Living Colour).One of the highlights was opening for Black Stone
Cherry at Grünspan in Hamburg.
In 2013 they recording 17 songs in three days ! Out of this session 4 songs are ready
to rock the world on the first official release „Needle E.P.“
On of the songs was even picked for a commercial for a big advertising agency
„Black Cat Bitch“. With more shows lined up and new songs in the making the guys
are ready to keep it rockin!

Freund Hein

Freund Hein haben sich Anfang 2022 in Hamburg gegründet. Sie spielen
deutschsprachigen Punk mit melancholisch-angespannten Texten und
nordisch-wechselhaften Instrumentalen. Im Frühjahr 2023 erschien die
erste EP „Waldos Demo“. Es folgten erste Konzerte, u.a. in der Astra
Stube und im Molotow. In 2024 soll es weitere Releases und Auftritte
geben. Aber am wichtigsten ist weiterhin: Ruft mal wieder eure Mütter
an!
