Tinkicker was formed in 2006 by composer/Guitarist Søren Lindberg and lyricist/drummer
Klaus Herfort. The band and the concept album “Soliloquy of the Transparent Boy” was created to celebrate their 20th Anniversary as a songwriting unit as their skilled worker's certificate of rock. Tinkickers’ debut album saw them handling everything from artwork through to the final mix.
The project being a natural continuation of their very first band in the 80’s, which was heavy rock/metal with a prog influenced complex approach, savvy arrangements and intelligent lyrics, which were rated superior to their contemporaries. Through the 90’s and into the new millennium they were covering most of the heavy rock spectrum, resulting in plain heavy metal and hard rock releases. Tinkickers’ lineup was completed by singer Klaus Bastian who was approached at a wedding reception where he made a great impression playing in a covers band as a younger, slimmer, guitar playing version of Meat Loaf. Bass player Erik Wolf, who they knew from previous sessions, also played a smaller part in the laboring of the album.
As a tip of the hat to two of their big influences (but also tongue in cheek) Tinkicker labeled their sound Pink Sabbath, Floyd may not be that representative apart from the conceptual, lyrical wise,
as the band are also, apart from several heavy weights of Metal, inspired by acts like Zeppelin, Who, Rush and Triumph. In 2008 Tinkicker was signed by the Russian label MALS, and the
debut album “Soliloquy of the Transparent Boy” was released shortly thereafter.
The 16 track album’s storyline is evolving around the soul searching of the main character,
tied together with the actual Concorde plane crash on July 25, 2000.

Synopsis:
After graduation the school nerd, "The transparent boy", gets a job in the company owned by his domineering father. Through the lifestyle that goes with the job, he gets in touch with his dark side and develops a taste for power, sex and drugs. As he tries to save his ailing marriage, his career once again gets in the way,
and his wife and children flies away on the planned holiday without him. When the plane crashes short after takeoff, he loses his family,
his faith, his mind, and soon his will to live.
