This video shows me with my very first band, the "ROCK REVIVAL BAND" at a concert of the event series "YESTERDAY - OLDIES AT THE FINEST" on June 12, 1993 in Gera, Thuringia, Germany. The location, the “Clubzentrum COMMA” still exists and I am really happy about these old recordings that I think “good old” Frank and the COMMA team took there. Since then, the videos have been sitting in the closet on VHS cassettes collecting dust, but now I simply had them digitized to show you what I did in my musical beginnings at the beginning of the 1990s. Today it's “Brown Sugar“ by The Rolling Stones and be surprised by what's coming next!
►ROCK REVIVAL BAND:
I founded the band in 1989 together with my (slightly older) friend Thomas Große. I was just 18 years old at the time and initially wasn't that interested in singing. So of course Thomas took on the role of lead singer and rhythm guitarist and I was fully on my “Carlos Santana/Brian May/Gary Moore/Jimmy Page/Eddie van Halen trip” anyway and therefore the lead guitarist, too sang a bit of background. Our shared love of the Beatles' music allowed us to sing a lot of two-part songs like "She Loves You" or "If I Fell" right from the start, and so my singing voice was able to develop more and more. The original line-up also included Uwe Schütze on bass and Michael Golle on drums and later joined René Oertel on saxophone, keyboard and tambourine or Alexander Beer on piano the band. We quickly became popular, well booked and on everyone's lips because of our fresh enthusiasm for playing and a repertoire that matched the band name with classics from the Beatles to the Stones or from CCR to Deep Purple was well received. And today? Despite a number of line-up changes, the “ROCK REVIVAL BAND” still exists and my friend Thomas is still the frontman, leader and singer of the band. And even though I haven't been there myself for many years, Thomas, I and certainly our ex-colleagues are still burning for this great music from back then. It's nice that we now have these old recordings as a reminder of our "good old" and formative early days!
►Andreas Geffarth:
Hi! I'm a German singer, guitarist and songwriter and I love music and my life as a musician. After 35 years of making music in front of a live audience, it wasn't until January 2022 that I had the thought of being also able to share my music online with people all over the world; what a great and exciting idea! And so I now publish new self-made videos with songs from my repertoire on my KZread channel every week. Learn more about me on my website andreas-geffarth.de
