Nothing
an no one is secure against us - not even the big, lonely red rock
in the middle of the Australian no-man's-land. Shortly before

Guitar Concert 2008 Polgar
High School
05 Jun 2008
We
created a pretty unusual version of "Stairway to heaven": We
performed it on guitars only, without singing. Simona and Tobi (also
called "Santana-Boy" ;) played the chords while the others did the
vocal- and flute melody in "two voices" on their guitars. That
resulted in a wonderfully hamonizing sound!

professionally. "Real" therefore means ...

performance.

With "band" in that case we mean our family band. Our Dad and
Michaela (our step-mommy) have founded a band with us so that we
could play together what we have learned in our music lessons. It's
just more fun to make music with others instead of always practicing
alone. How we came to form a band and how we meanwhile have developed
