02/10 BIOGRAPHY VERWEGEN
In March 1999 the guitarist and songwriter Steven di Scorpio founded the band “Verwegen” At that time the band used to be a popular and well booked live band without further pretensions.For the musicians around di Scorpio it was important to present their songs to their fans live and unvarnished. Not until the exit of the keyboarder the band’s trend, aims and especially their sound changed:
The band now performed in front of a more diversified audience, as a result the regional and national degree of popularity rose and as well the media showed an increasing interest in the band from Weimar.
In spite of growing studio and promotion work the band played at about 60-80 concerts in over 40 German and European cities.
Just before the publication of their last debut album in 2005 the band members separated. Drug misuse and difficulties with contracts made all efforts collapse. In autumn 2008 the band celebrated its longed for comeback including the revival of studio work and tours.
In April 2009 the band released its first studio album “Stahlhammer”.
At the moment the band around Steven di Scorpio is working on its new CD “Industrial Heaven”, whose planned publishing is October 2009. There are as well video recordings and photo shootings in Hamburg and Berlin. The first concerts on a moderate scale are just taking place, here the band wants to find together again in a musical way and jam together in the coming acts.
The first release took place in June 1999 with the single “Unrasiert” (“Unshaved”). Others were following with the LP “Das Land Verwegen” (2000), “Das ist mein Leben” (2001), “Live2002” (2002), extended tours right all through Germany and the Canary Islands, promotions with several German TV and radio channels, the publication of the longplayer “Nr. %” (2003) and the reward as most successful band of the New Länder at the German Rock-Prize1999.
With the publishing of the first mini EP “Vielfarben” in spring 2004, which could only be purchased via download from the band’s homepage , VERWEGEN started a really successful “Veilfarben Tour”. In April 2009 the new album “Stahlhammer” came out, which shows the musician’s dark and unpolished side.
