On "1._bandfoto.jpg" he is the left one. Since they titled it first band picture, I think he was 14 there. He was the youngest. Didn't stop him from being the coolest. ;)
"Frühjahr 99" and "ohne Jan" must both be from 1999, cause that is when the first guitarist left and they replaced him with the second one. My brother was 19 there. And still the coolest of them all. Though granted not that cool in the bigger scheme of things.
I can't entirely place "Rathaus". It still has the first drummer and my brother has his real long hair. (That is why John freaked me out so much at times in Hard Core Logo, he was also the bassist and looked so much like my brother at times. Freaky) I think it must be 2001?
HH_April and Hamburg1 are from their first "professional" photoshot for their first "professional" cd. It was also the last. ;)
The stupid producer kinda forced (or well, talked him into it more likely) my brother to cut his hair and my brother was unhappy with the band anyway, cause he liked harder music. Shortly before they lost their second guitarist and had to replace him with a third and the old drummer didn't want to lose a year at college to concentrate on the music, so they also replaced him. So that was it for the band then.
One time they were featured in a regional music magazine and there was a comic of them about one of their songs.
Do you remember The Moffatts? They were kinda the Canadian Hanson. Not sure if they were famous in the US, but they had a hit and were teen idols here in Germany for a while. My brother's band went on tour with them as support act. That was pretty much the biggest thing they ever did. But at least it scored them an interview on the German MTV. ;)

My brother is Jürgen, the bass player.
