“You have to have the ability to cry and laugh at the same moment – only then you are able to understand our music.“
Sticking to this motto, the band called THE BANDGEEK MAFIA declared war to the narrow-minded reality of musical philosophy. To give Ska music a completely new and extraordinary interesting shape, however unusual it may be on the first glimpse. They cleverly combine sticking melodies, powerful riffs, excellent brass and aggressive shouts and can in that way uplift themselves from a lot of bands coming from that genre. Though mixing ska music with emo elements seems to be capital sin for some guys, THE BANDGEEK MAFIA proves strikingly that such a fusion arrests one’s attention and intoxicates. The Selftitled EP (Released 2005 DIY) being promoted as a free download in the web attracted 15.000 users to get a copy.
„The Bandgeek Mafia“ already played over 200 concerts in the last 5 years across Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, Austria & Switzerland! They were on tour till August 2006 when they recorded the first full length album, including 12 new songs at the Farida Studios near Bremen(GER) with Producer Uli Wortmann. The Debut Album “PAINT YOUR TARGET” was released in April and June 2007 on LONG BEACH RECORDS EUROPE/808 RECORDS – LEECH REDDA MUSIC SWITZERLAND & ASHCAN RECORDS LUXEMBOURG/FRANCE! Since the Release of *Paint Your Target* the band sold over 1.200 copies! In conclusion there..s just one advice left: Visit this band at one of their liveshows. It..s worth it! From now on the band is working and writing on the new album, coming out 2009...!!!

Hallo, habe gerade mal wieder einen neuen Blogeintrag online gestellt. War einfach fällig, obwohl bei mir momentan nicht viel geht. Aber da einige ziemlich schlimme Dinge passiert sind, MUSSTE ich einfach was schreiben...
Würde mich ansonsten freuen, Dich beim nächsten KEIN-HASS-DA-Gig zu treffen: 17.7. Knust, Hamburg (im Rahmen der Turbojugendtage) Ahoi - Karl
Heyho, das war ein toller Auftritt, den ihr letztens auf dem Abifestival in Lingen hingelegt habt, das wollte ich euch noch gesagt haben! Ich kannte euch vorher nicht und war von eurem Sound wirklich positiv überrascht. ;) Ich freu mich auf euer neues Album, euer letztes läuft bei mir schon fast auf Dauerschleife! :p Haut rein!
