26Feb12 Family Shaft Open Doors For Hammer Celebration Grilling

Derek Hammer — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 09:32:51 +0000

On Sunday 26Feb12 Tatjana and Harry Shaft opened their mansion’s doors for a monster grilling of tons of food to celebrate the ususal Hammer anniversary…. Everybody knows that Shaft’s grilling is always getting out of hands in Surf & Turf and good golden liquor….
Luckily we were starving so much, that this time only half of food remained untouched and all of us could take doggy-bags home, which could feed our families for the rest of the week!

Museumsufer-Fest 26aug11

Today was the first opportunity to introduce to you our new soon to be released album
LIVE! We had big fun at the MuseumsUferFest 2011 Frankfurt at the ‘Frankfurter Rundschau’
stage premiering our album ‘we DON’T care’ LIVE. We even played a new cover in the what
we think is the correct speed and power with ‘Axel’ Cumalot singing. G’n'R will wonder having
never played ‘Don’t Cry’ that way….
Anyway, the new songs as well some of the oldies thundered into Frankfurt’s early evening
sky of a dark massive wall of clouds waiting for us until we stop playing to enload in a big storm
and fat rainfall afterwards…. Even upper powers respect us!
Album release early October!!!

Rectifier Experience

Colt Diamond — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 17:26:51 +0000

My first near contact with an Mesa Boogie Rectifier was mind blowing! There was a german band from Koblenz, which was playing here in Frankfurt at Elfer. The kind of music these dudes – the band called Six Reasons To Kill – were playing was not realy my thing, but the the guitar sound was f*****g awesome! I walked near to the stage and I saw exactly what I was expecting to see: an Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier! The sound was HUGE, riffs was coming out of it like huge fists in the face! F*****g brutal and tight. The clean sound was brilliant and clear! This kept going on and on, till the end of the gig.

After this awesome sound manifest was over, I had to do it, I had to ask the guitarist how does he gets this awesome sound out of this diamond plated monster! I was expecting to see Tubescreamers, boosters and all these stuff in front of the amp, but none of them was there. Just the naked amp! I was petrified! This HUGE sound with just an amp and a guitar. This was it, I knew I had to get one of those monsters and guess what, I have one now…. a Triple Rectifier!

Stay tuned for some mind blowing riffs, solos and all kind of guitar shit!

Studio Works Update

Derek Hammer — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 21:36:32 +0000

On 18Dec10 we recorded the final backing vocals for an epos we started to elaborate at Heinz Hess’ Art Of June Studios on 29Oct10.
For us it was impossible to imagine how things developed over that period, how the songs gained on beauty, power and exellence with us fully caught in unbelievable creativity with highest commitment to give everything… Heinz, engenieer, producer, motivator and microphone magician, already did such an incredible job microphing and recording, that our 13 songs for our new album ‘We Don’t Care’ unmixed blew away our minds.
Here you’ll get your first visual kicks!
Heinz meanwhile is very busy with the mixing job and I don’t know, what will happen after listening the 1st time the mixed album… the collaps in joy, hyperventilation, boiling blood, warm water down the leg?!?
We are so full of tension, we nearly cannot resist to wait…
Ha, Ha … but you need to wait even longer… until production process and of course incomparable art work by famous RJ Smear a.k.a. alphaWOLF will be finalized!
Will keep you updated! Hammer
