 It all started on a cold November night in 2003. Max and Mathijs, after having played in a Dutch blues band for years, decided to go and form a new band which would have all sorts of roots influences. They found Mark "Tamba" as the perfect drummer and started the Germaphonics. After many cold and hot nights in the rehearsal room now called the Germa Swing Cabin, they recorded their first demo: "Songs of everyday life in the Germa Swing Cabin" in 2004. Many gigs and beers later, they went to the recording studio again to record their first official CD/EP "On the roll". The Germaphonics play an energetic mixture of blues, rockabilly, surf and rock 'n roll, which in the past few years has often been described with nice exotic names like surfy powerrockabilly, sexy bluesabilly, garage rock 'n roll and so on. All the original "Germa tunes" are provided with a recognisable, raw and pure sound. Combine that with a large amount of joy on their faces, and go and see for yourself why the Germaphonics have such energetic and swingin' live gigs.
