The band
Mary Jane was founded in 1997 by 4 friends who had met
in school. After playing a few local gigs the band made
a name for itself and developed a fan-base. The orginal
line up was: Thomson (voc-git), Bartl(voc-git),
Moritz(bass) and Daniel(drums). After a couple of years
of songwriting and playing concerts Mary Jane switched
their bass-player. Moritz left the band and Basti joined
Mary Jane in 2001. He found his standing in the band
pretty quickly and also became the 2nd lead vocalist and
main backround vocalist. Ever since, Mary Jane has been
known for their two part harmonic singing. In 2002 Mary
Jane recorded their first full-length album called "The
Art of Fart" at Easy Chicken Studio in Munich. They
played numerous shows all over Germany and sold about
1500 copies of their album "The Art of Fart". In 2006
they signed a production contract with Alex-Mario Preu
from Soundpark Studios and recorded their 2nd
full-length album "Road Signs & Rock Shows" which
received applauding reviews in the German music press
and some of it's songs were presented on various
samplers. "Road Signs & Rock Shows" has sold more than
2000 copies and counting. In Fall 2006 Bartl had to quit
Mary Jane due to health concerns and "Hot" took over.
Even though Hot is only 17 years old he is an amazingly
talented guitar player and a true asset to the band. A
Japanese Version of "Road Signs & Rock Shows" was
released in May 2008 on Garimpeiro Records. Since 2009
Patrick plays the four strings. |
