S/T at the Scheer Festival 2004
A film by Mike Kneidl & Co. The complete set released as "Mike" on DVD.
S/T was founded January 1993 by Martin Bauner and Joachim Gaertner. Between the late Seventies and the early Nineties both were involved with other bands/projects, but there..s no need to tell about.
Up from the start the artwork for covers were half of the S/T style. Releases you can listen to including an "art"work to have fun with as fan and/or collector.
First release was the legendary "If I can catch a train" single on the collectable ROMAN CABBAGE label (Early Kitchen Cynics, Paisley Shirts, Lord Magick etc.). After our first trip to the USA, the bands own "Save Our Sperms" label was founded. (to be continued)
