Remembering the years 2000 - 2007: Terraplane are history! This page is a monument to our fans and to ourselves. Thanks for seven adventurous years...


"A Kraut origin (a guarantee for great psych), the right influences (from 70’s space to current cosmic rock), the appropriate retro sound, their heads in the right place. What else is there? Wait, there is something else, an element that seperates a great band from the mold. An identity. Sure their music will remind you of a lot of other things, from Hawkwind to Thumlock and from 35007 to Hendrix. But once you heard the record, you can’t help but recognize the talent and the uniqueness that surrounds this camp. From the emotional (not fuckin’ emo) vocals to that sweet tone that the two Christians ooze with their guitars, from the tantric rhythm section to the mind-blowing solos, from the infectious lyrics to the addictive choruses, everything screams Terraplane." (RegularPaul, Monolith.gr)

  • Bio

    TERRAPLANEs story in our simple words... Two Led Zeppelin-fans Christian Oelke and Christian Peters met somewhen back in 2000 and made up the plan of founding a Blues Rock band... In the middle of 2002 we had a first take off with Frank Pfeiffer on drums, riffing out the "Forlorn"-ep in two days. Two mounths later Frank had to leave us and after recording an acoustic four track CD called "Cant Always Get What You Want" we found new buddies with René Mente (bass) and psych-head Andreas Herbst (drums). René had to leave shortly after the first gig and the band should go on as a three-piece with Oelke on bass and vocals, Herbst on drums and Peters on guitar. This should become the most creative line-up, the so called "original" outfit of TERRAPLANE for many reasons. A bunch of lo-fi records had been banned on tape and a set of local gigs have been played in 2003. The year was ending in a furious forecast of a real psych-rock-madness to come in a night of november, sharing the stage with the stoned monsters of The Great Escape (D) and House Of Aquarius (SWE)... 2004 should became a great year in the history of TERRAPLANE, playing along with bands as Dozer (SWE), Gas Giant (DK), Ostinato (US), Darediablo (US) and The Hidden Hand (US), there has also been a live-experience on the Stoned From The Underground festival and a live appeareance in front of thousands of people at the "Young Part" open-air in our hometown Wernigerode... 2005 should become a much more quiet year compared to 2004. Basically we have been working on our first full-length record "Psychedelic Wonderland". Sadly this one didnt become what it should be and very soon it ended as a curiosity in the collections of some very few fans. The sound was awful and due to the coldness (minus degrees) in the studio and some other complications the whole thing became so crappy that it was the best decision to hide the mastertapes in a dark room. We been playing some gigs and a mini-tour with Magnified Eye (DK), till Andreas left us by moving to the Baltic Sea, 500 kms away... After a short desparate episode we found Jens Vogel to play drums and later also bass player Florian Furtner (a buddy from our Garage Psych-side project IANs EXPERIENCE) to start a new TERRAPLANE with Oelke on a second rhythm-guitar. We played three gigs only with Vogel on drums, trying to fix the hole that Herbst had left behind, but in a way the spirit seemed to have gone. Nonetheless we decided to record a second album in the first days of January 2006, called "Into The Unknown". It was supposed to become the farewell of TERRAPLANE. Vogel left after the recording sessions and Oelke, Peters and Furtner started a new band, called GREEN MONKEY - in a way the same style of music we did with TERRAPLANE... So to confuse everybody, after a unexpected success of "Into The Unknown", including a labelcontract, we renamed the band to TERRAPLANE in late 2006. The last line-up was Christian Oelke (vocals), Christian Peters (guitar), Florian Furtner (bass) and Edward Bernatek (drums). Then after some last gigs the band finally left all stages in July 2007!
