big time
Pierre Schwartz History
As well as I remember, I've only taken it with more
established, as there was plenty of minor bands underway.
Mail if mistake and apologize to those I forgot ...
Play Louder ....
and may the force be with your Ibanez ....!
Start 1966 - 1971
I started playing guitar in 1966, where I got my first
guitar by my mother and father.
I was forced by my parents to go to guitar instruction on
Brøndbyvester school in Rømer Nielsen (60s guru of classical
guitar in th ecity Brøndby), the cause was that my mother
liked the guitar player Jørgen Ingemann very much.
I got a Höfner half audible in the size of a 6 years kid.
I have it still in good condition.
I was however a couple of Spanish classical guitars for my
learned guilt.
I learned music from day 1, diseased death, but invaluable
later on.
After 5 years in the classical school 1 diligence premium in
1970 and several school concerts, I decided to convert to
rock music.
Wounded Knee 1972-74
The first real school band consisting of Bo (guitar,
vocals), Kim (Drums), Per (bass) and myself (guitar).
We had great success in schools and youth clubs in Brøndby.
Quo 1975 - 1976
After the break in the Wounded Knee, Bo and I started Quo,
we played mainly Status Quo, Deep Purple and Credence
Clearwater Revival.
Here we found together with Michael (bass) and Steen
(drums).
Per returned to the band on bass and Mikkel took over the
drums.
Freaks 1977 - 1977
2 of the guys from the band later Freaks (DM Pop) Kim (bass)
and Jan (guitar) joined forces with Steen (drums) and I
(guitar).
We practiced mostly at "Tranum Parken's School" in Brøndby
Strand, and played just once in the youth club.
The style was forged to today's rhythms and rock.
Saturn 1978 - 1978
Dan (bass guitar) was probably one of Denmark's largest Kizz
fan.
Anyway we formed Saturn, where Bo (guitar) was back on
guitar and a sea of drummers that I can not remember by
names (please send info if you remember).
We also practiced at "the Deaf Institute" in Bülowsgade
Copenhagen.
Heavy Duty 1979 - 1980
A serious project with Allan (Guitar), Jens (bass guitar),
Bjarne (drums).
We practiced and practiced and practiced ....
the youth house at Bellahøj.
It was a few simple jobs and a multi-long recording in the
studio "Two-Step-Down" in Copenhagen, I still have the
original tapes (4 track 2"" real tape recorded on a 4 track
tape Teak Station, I even got the wheel tape machine), after
that then we broke up.
Allan and I formed "A La Basta".
A la basta 1980 - 1982
We first heard Lars (drums, later Cool Cats) and Kim (bass,
later Cool Cats) with.
Moreover XXX (Vocals / Sax).
The style was more Danish and we played only their own
numbers.
Rehearsals were "reconditioned" behind Sweet Silence Studio
in Amager. Willy
(drums) joined (and named the band), and it boosted things
up, along with Birger (Vocal).
We launched our first real concert hall Brumleby in Østerbro
with entrance and TV recording (DR), where the actual video
i stoday I do not know, please send info if you know where
it is..?
Jays 1982 - 2006
Yes, we are back to cover music at full blast.
Jays started years back in the 70'thies, so it was just to
get on the road and play.
We started in August 1983 with Flemming (vocals), Tommy
(Keyboards), Jens-Ole (Bass / Boomerang) and Erik (drums /
Playboys).
Jays delivered mainstream dance music and entertainment.
We started as cover band at booking Bent Helvang, since solo
agreement with same booker and finally shed with Flemming
Sørensen (1997).
there were plenty of jobs for a change.
E.T Production 1987 - 1998
Was recruited by Erling Sibbern / Erik Thomsen as Stage
Manager / Production Manager.
I have made most of the heavy / rock concerts in Denmark,
ranging from Megadeth to Pink Floyd (see
more at home page).
Zack 1988 - 1988
A musical digression beside Jays.
Heavy Metal preoccupied me more and more because it was a
technical and noisy challenge I wanted.
Zack was only a precursor to the more heavy and study
project with Flemming (Vocal / Jays), Palle (bass), Niels
(drums) and Greeks (Keyboard, forgot his name) I
"headhunted" him at a Greek restaurant in Østerbro, where he
played in a Zorba -
ensemble.
Big Time 1989 - 1990
Another digression while Jays.
Big Time was the most ambitious and actually quite ok.
Mick (Vocals / Alien Force), Rene (bass / Posideon),
Frederick (drums / Poseidon / Jays).
Here we were playing rock stars with large S. We had jobs in
the Pumpehuset Copenhagen and Baghuset in Ballerup.
There was recorded ambitious in the rehearsal room at
Roskildevejen in Rødovre, teh band showed potential to grow
big, but i had to end it because of family reunification and
studies (Cand.polit.).
Aw, it was otherwise the greatest fun ...(DVD can be ordered
at this link)
5aLive 2006 - ....
After the break with Flemming Gottfredsen the 4 of us
(Jens-Ole, Torsten, Thomas and I) agreed continue with new
singer from "Inex Jam" Bo Thers. It felt right
and we formed 5aLive.
We play the same style as in the past with Jays, but now the
band was on its own without a manager.
Bus and gear was continued from Jays. Bo decided to leave
5aLive in 2009. New lead singer Lady Di (Dianna Iserhorst)
joined the band an did add a new angel to the band, our
first female singer.
Freinds 2008 - ....
Peter Klarskov was stand in for Bo at a few gigs in 5aLive.
Peter and i formed Freinds as a solo studio project, I did
all the playing and peter the singing. You can follow
freinds at the link.
