history

Moritz Gläser and Hannes Schulze came into contact with their fathers' music at an early stage. The Blankenfeld boogie band rehearsed at Hannes Schulze's home . The 14-year-old Schulze gained his first band experience on the drums. He's been playing with Engerling , his father's band , for a long time . It was similar in the Gläser family. Peter Caesar Glasses and his son Robert Glasses played together in the band Caesar & the Players since 1987 . Robert Glasses played the electric bass there . He has been a member of the rock band Six since 1999 .

At the age of 14, Robert's younger brother Moritz decided to become a guitarist. Later he also became a bass player . Today Moritz Gläser plays in the Berlin band KOKicker .

Further musically successful sons of GDR musicians

It was similar with Stefan Kerth, who has been playing bass in his father's band, the blues musician Jürgen Kerth , since the mid-1980s . Even the City bassist Georgi Gogow has made a son who music career. Since 2003 Nicolaj Gogow was the drummer of the successful metal band Knorkator as Nick Aragua . In 2005 Claudius Dreilich , who grew up listening to the music of his father Herbert Dreilich , took his place at Karat .

It is noticeable that the sons of GDR musicians often play together in bands. The scene in the GDR was manageable, so that the families knew each other well. That was the case with Moritz Gläser and Hannes Schulze, who played together in the blues rock band Bluestift . Andy Birr is the son of Dieter Maschine Birr ( Puhdys ) and Hendrik Röder is the son of Peter Einehetzt Meyer (Puhdys). Andy Birr and Röder played together with Rosalili long before they became successful with the band Bell, Book & Candle . In the band Stamping Feet , three sons of GDR rock musicians played together for a time: Sven Hertrampf ( Dieter Hertrampf / Puhdys), Nick Scharfschwerdt ( Klaus Scharfschwerdt / Puhdys) and Sebastian Reznicek ( Jäcki Reznicek / Silly , East Blues Experience and Pankow ). Basti Reznicek also sits on the drums with Silly . When Silly goes on tour, Uwe Hassbecker's son Daniel Hassbecker plays the keyboard. Daniel Hassbecker is a member of the Berlin band Mariannenplatz and has also been part of Axl Makana's band since 2007 .
