ROCKSTORY
"(MONA LISA)"
"“ MONA LISA was put together during 1987 by drummer L.A. Roberts and bass-player Ray St. Michael, in the Maryland area. With the addition of vocalist Rick Thomas and guitar-wizard Don De Olivera, the band was complete and ready to Rock. Their first homemade demos of ’87 had a raw, naïve charm that displayed the kind of potential that should have seen the major label record companies lining up, but it’s with their very first professional demo called “Grounded For Life” that the band showed their commercial appeal, taking on a new, overtly polished direction. Local radio and media support led the band to appear on the 1987 compilation called ’97 Underground Beast From The East Vol. 1′, with the song “Nightmares”. Compared to bands like White Lion, Danger Danger and Trixter, MONA LISA delivers some cool ’80s American melodic hard rock on these recordings. After a successful start to their career with the 1988 EP “Grounded for Life”, the band got a publishing agent, and played the club circuit, both as opening-act and as headliner. Then in 1990 MONA LISA recorded their debut album, “The Art Of Seduction”, self-released the next year only on cassette format. The album featured songs that have a Melodic Rock feel with a Metal sheen, recalling the style that bands like White Lion, Van Halen and Danger Danger was carrying around, in a time when acts like Metallica and Skid Row were all-rage. Tracks like ‘Name Of Rock’, ‘Dirty Girl’ and ‘Angry Child’ are pure candies for the Melodic Rock / Hair Metal lovers, a sound that bands like Skid Row were pushing forward in the late Eighties. Unfortunately this had been the last effort from this fine band, as they disbanded in 1992. After this, drummer L. A. Roberts and guitarist Don DeOliveira put together a new band called TATTOO TAXI, and they released another great cassette-EP ‘Pedal To The Metal’ during 1993. "

"(CLASSIC ROCK )"
"“ The classic rock genre encompasses rock music made over three decades, from '60s psychedelia and ’70s album-oriented rock (AOR) to 1980s college rock, heavy metal, and 1990s grunge. Most classic rock songs are guitar-driven, and the genre has many guitar heroes—from Jimi Hendrix to Jeff Beck to Eddie Van Halen. Classic rock bands are also known for iconic lead singers, from Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones to Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin to Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses. As the rock era unfolds, more artists are grouped into the classic rock radio format. While groups as disparate as Pink Floyd, the Jackson 5, Bonnie Raitt, and R.E.M. may have appeared on different radio stations in the past, today their songs can be heard on the same classic rock stations throughout the U.S. "

"(SLEEZE BEEZ)"
"“ Sleeze Beez was a glam metal band formed in 1987 in the Netherlands by drummer Jan Koster and guitarist Chriz van Jaarsveld. The first recordings were made with the Belgian singer Tigo 'Tiger' Fawzi, for the album Look Like Hell. He was briefly followed by Thijs Hamelaers. In 1989 the Beez got more stability by recruiting the English vocalist Andrew Elt, who previously sang in Gin On The Rocks. They cut the successful Screwed Blued & Tattooed LP which broke them in the US, and they took up as opening act for Skid Row. In the early nineties momentum slowed for the band, which increasingly found that the musical tide had turned, and there was less demand for glam metal bands. Meanwhile, popularity overseas particularly in Japan remained strong and the band toured there in 1995. A live album was released that same year. In 1996, Koster, who for years had struggled with a wrist injury announced that he could not continue. At this point the band fell apart. They reformed in 2010. The band supported Aerosmith alongside Stone Temple Pilots. "

It was well received not only by the European trade press but also across the Atlantic. Excellent reviews from music journalists were followed by airplay on various radio stations in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain and Italy. In 2004, Jacky would leave the band . In June 2005 Badhoven brought out their second album named 'Believe'. But was still missing a new man on the bass guitar to present the new album live to their ever-growing audience. It was the guitarist 'Dom E. Nick' who took this part on the bass guitar as a guest musician over the next few years. In March 2007 Jürgen 'Jorghino' Ehrenmüller became the new bass guitarist in the band. In April 2008 Badhoven started a new experience with the Belgian guitar virtuoso Wim Roelants Badhoven recorded four songs in this new line-up. When Jürgen Ehrenmüller left the band in 2009 for professional reasons the band found Erwin Lichtenegger the 'real metal bass man'. With Erwin they started their 'Rock you hard' tour to carry out their 'mission to rock'. In 2011 Badhoven released the single CD 'I Will Be There' followed in 2013 with the release of their third album: 'Obsession' In August 2014 the guitarist Mario Pohn joined Badhoven. In case of health issues Erwin Lichtenegger had to leave the band in 2015 and it was Manfred Binder who joined the band for a short while to be replaced by the young Flo Verant on bass-guitar in June 2016. It was in March 2020 when due to the Covid-19 pandemic the tour was canceled and Mario Pohn left the band. By June that year Badhoven welcomed the new six-string-master in the band: Günter Schablas , the new man on the lead-guitar. Now 2024 BADHOVEN are preparing the massive ‘Rock Thru Ages Tour’, and at the same time releasing the compilation of the same name – “Rock Thru Ages” – including selections from all their albums, some of these tracks being re-mixed obtaining a refreshing, contemporary sound.

The band pioneered the Neue Deutsche Härte movement and their work contains lyrics in both English and German, with a shift towards German exclusively on recent albums They are one of the founders of the fusion of hard metal music and industrial sounds known as Neue Deutsche Härte. OOMPH! owed a lot to Nitzer Ebb in their self-titled debut (1992). OOMPH!'s change of style for the successor "Sperm" (1994), with a more guitar-driven metal sound mixed with their electronic roots, inspired numerous musicians, most famously Rammstein, to follow their lead who have cited OOMPH! in several interviews as their main inspiration. Following Dynamica OOMPH! finally signed with Virgin. With the benefits of major-label status OOMPH! gained a larger following. Between 1998 and 2001 they released three albums on the Virgin label. In 2004 OOMPH! released their first single "Augen auf!"(open eyes) on a new label that was part of the Sony BMG group. It marks their first Number One hit ever in Germany, thus eventually bringing forth their major commercial breakthrough. It became part of the FIFA 2005 soundtrack. The band's ninth record, GlaubeLiebeTod (FaithLoveDeath) was released in March 2006, including the controversial single "Gott ist ein Popstar" (God is a pop star) and its follow-up "Das letzte Streichholz" (The last match). In 2007, they won the third Bundesvision Song Contest (a contest between the sixteen states of Germany) for Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) with "Träumst du?", which featured Marta Jandová from Die Happy. The band next album titled Des Wahnsinns fette Beute (Insanely fat booty). was released on 18 May 2012. A new album titled XXV was slated for an early 2015 release , . In September 2015, GlaubLiebeTod attained Gold status after selling more than 100,000 copies in Germany, nine years after its initial release. It was the band's first album to achieve gold and the band's second release to achieve it after their single "Augen auf!" (open eyes). On 5 December, Oomph! announced that they had been nominated for three GMA (Global Metal Apocalypse) awards. GMA Vocalist of the Year 2015 (Dero), GMA Music Video of the Year (Alles aus Liebe), and GMA Album of the Year (XXV).
