Tarranado [ terә'neidoʊ ] is a German rock band from Bielefeld in North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

The band was founded in 2001 in Oerlinghausen by Felix and Bastian together with Christian Wehrhahn as "Dive" . In 2009 this name was changed for legal reasons. Since then the band has been called Tarranado. The band name is made up of the words tarra (from terra ) and nado (from tornado). After Christian had to leave the band in 2006 for professional reasons, a new guitarist was found in Goetz "BAMA" Stabenow, whom Felix knew from school. Felix switched from guitar to drums and Bastian from drums to bass. With this line-up, Tarranado has given over 100 concerts (as of March 2015). In addition to concerts in the Bielefeld region, there were also national appearances, for example in Hamburg and Amsterdam . Tarranado played as support (or until 2009 Dive ) among others for the Japanese band Mono , the Finnish band Overhead and the German formation Angelika Express .

After two EPs had already been released by the group, the first album was released in 2010 on the German independent label Timezone . The band's second album entitled White Elephant was also released on Timezone in summer 2011 . The acoustic album Kings & Medicine was released on the same label in mid-2012 . There are also pieces by the band on samplers .

In August 2014, the band announced on their Facebook page that they are currently working on the completion of their fourth studio album. In the course of this album there were also personnel changes. The new bass player Gerrit was introduced as a new member of the band. The previous bass player Bastian switched to guitar.

music

The music of the group can be assigned to alternative rock , but does not consistently correspond to this genre . The musical roots of the band can be located in grunge . In this area, "Reviving the Old" is the band's musical concern, according to a public statement by the singer and bassist Bastian Frank.

The band's lyrics are about problems and melancholy.
