This classy
3 piece combo (drums, upright bass and guitar) re-animates rock
in a what-the-hell- we-can-always-
go-work-at-escape-from-new-
york-pizza-or-become-professors
fashion. In opposition to other
current bands (we will not name anybody here, those bands all have
their places - in HISTORY!) that are missing balls,
who hold their guitars like girls do and who that take themselves
too seriously, 200t have balls and donīt take themselves
seriously enough. Didnīt they even break
up again recently? Despite everything else mentioned big industrial
grade
steel crushing machine balls 200t
also has a, softer almost "poppier" or "jazzier"
side that surfaces ever so often
to the GIRLS' delight.
Anyhow, what
is 200t after all?
~ a
chain saw?
~ a
car?
~ a
crushing machine?
It is the 200t,
motherfuckers.
200t
is the model number resulting out of the recalculation of the band
membersīrich past plus their poor present
not unequaling their diamond-sparkly FUTURE. Although one
could say 200t is a band from San Francisco,
its
members are originally from Boston, Calcutta and Berlin.
And they will continue their peaceful, global fight against
weapons of mass-taste-destruction.
That
was 2002. Later (2004) there was a new incarnation of the Band, based in
Berlin, with slightly different line up: There was no more guitar, there was
also no more up-right bass. Jason still played the drums, Luc played a EB-3 bass thru
a fuzzbox. And there was a micro/korg groovepad combo, played
by very special guest from Gdansk W.T. Norbert "T-Kowski". He
added classic organ, 70's synth and also bird sounds.
Great fun! But it's over! Rest
in Peace!
