bitune

After years of gigging locally, Bitune finally came together in Eschwege, Germany in early 2001 when Christian Wosimski (guitar) joined Sascha Wiegund (guitar, vocals), Martin Bartscher (drums, backing vocals) and Thomas Bartscher (bass) to complete the lineup. A few months later, they came to the attention of former Skunk Anansie guitarist Ace who was blown away by a demo they handed to him at a musicians' workshop. Ace offered to produce the band, and together they began work on crafting new songs and honing the Bitune sound. The ep they recorded together in 2003 brought Bitune to the attention of German booking agency K.O.K.S. This brought tours in Germany during 2004 supporting the likes of Billy Talent, and German punk giants Die Toten Hosen. Having paid their dues, in 2005 Bitune embarked on their own successful headlining tour, laying the foundations of a German fanbase and playing to 20,000 people at the Hessentag Festival that Summer. Now signed to UK label Headroom Records, Bitune go into 2007 with an album of killer tunes and a storming live show that's coming soon to a town near you! Read more on Last.fm.
