Band History

In January 2007 David, Alex and some friends did a Citizens Arrest-set for a cover festival in Mannheim. When Rainer, a friend of ours, married in that year's summer, the same guys added a second guitarist to establish a cover band  for his stag party. That band (called Rainer Threat) did a bunch of Rainer's and their own favorite songs. During rehearsing they planned to continue as a full band afterwards. But after having written a couple of songs the band disbanded when the singer moved to Cologne. However, David and Alex decided they wanted to be in a band together and started looking for potential band members. Half a year later Dan moved to Baden Baden and started looking for band mates in the Karlsruhe area. After having made contact on a message board a first rehearsal took place and all three got along well. Some other rehearsals led to our first songs so it was time to look for somebody singing. This task turned out harder than expected. After some months Christioph joined us for some promising rehearsals only to tell us he was going to study in France. So the ever-bothering search for a singer started all over again. Caro, who had been the singer for two of Alex' older bands, joined and we were able to do two shows in the summer of 2009 as Hanover Fiste. Shortly after Caro decided the band wasn't really her thing so we were back to a no-vocals trio. We renamed the band Attention Armageddon and started to look for a singer again.
In early 2010 Sebi joined us on vocals and second guitar. After things started to work out with that line-up and everybody felt like being a band acutally we played our first show with Burning Love and Oiro at the KTS in Freiburg on November 20th 2010. Plans for the near future include recording something and playing live as much as possible. You can listen to some rehearsal recording at our myspace.
Besides drumming in Attention Armageddon David drums for Constant Nothing and Feed Them They Have Teeth. He's also the singer for Ghost Of Wem. Befor that he was in When The Kitchen Radio Says Kill.
Dan was the guitarist for Quattro Stagioni and Danse Macabre. He also did bass and some vocals in Suicide Handbook.  Sebi is the guitarist for The 244GL and in thousand projects past and present. Alex played bass in Moleskine and Jacqueline Hyde.

Oct 2012: In early 2011 Sebi moved back to Leipzig and the remaining three members decided to continue as a three piece with Dan and Alex sharing vocal duty. We've since played a couple of shows, recorded a demo, got drunk, played some more shows, build a new rehearsal space and wrecked each others' nerves. Right now we're recording ten songs that might be released in one way or another.
