Band history
AKa Frontage was formed in summer 2002 from members of the disbanding bands Descontento and FreaKings. Already in autumn 2003 the line-up Joeker, Jan (Jan-Simon Wolff, e-guitar), Kilemo, Julian (Julian Wright, e-piano), das Bröt, Freddai and Tximi started to record the first CD Traum à 7 which was published in spring 2004.
In the course of the next two years the first major appearances followed, e.g. B. on Das Fest (Karlsruhe) , Berlinova and the Mini-Rock-Festival , as well as some other member changes.
The provisional final band line-up with Joeker, Kilemo, das Bröt, Tximi, Freddai, Didi and Carlos can now look back on a band history with around 150 appearances and another album, released in January 2006, Auf Augenhöhe .
On April 12th, 2008 the third album MIKADO imperial was presented in Substage Karlsruhe.
