Band
History
sub ether radio was founded in Munich in May 2002 and played their first concert a scant three weeks later: Munich's 3rd Annual Chili Cookoff. They've come a long way since then. sub ether radio are, first and foremost, four close friends who share a burning passion for rock music. This is no artificially created band. Rather it is a tight-knit group of like-minded, hard-working musicians with a collective presence which is enhanced by the individuality of the members. Each originates from a different national and musical background. The blend of styles and musical experience offers a unique mix of influences, all stamped with the hallmark of sub ether radio. Remember ... no additives, no preservatives, no artificial sweetners ... life tastes better that way!
Name
Naming a band has to be harder than naming a newborn. With a child there is a finite set of possibilities. For a band, nothing is ruled out. The name has to be more than a tag or an identifier; it must capture the spirit of the band and the music, and tempt an individual to find out more. When so many possibilities exist for a name, it is a Herculean task to even narrow down the choice, never mind make a final decision. As an experiment, this band collected a pile of books and started randomly flicking pages till something caught the eye. The source of the chosen name was the book 'So Long And Thanks For All The Fish', by Douglas Adams, part of the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. When Tony spotted the text 'sub ether radio', all instantly loved it. That has to be a good sign. It fulfilled our need to reflect the nature of the music and the band; our eclectic musical styles and tastes have been compared to a radio with all the available channels offering a little of everything. But above all, on the night we chose the name, we had run out of beer and couldn't spend any more time before going to the pub. "Oh my God, is that the time? ... Bye!"
