Biography


Question: What happens if one puts two completely different guys into a cellar, and throw an acoustic guitar and a pair of shakereggs into the mix?

A) They come to close quarters, start bitching, throw the shakereggs at each other and one crushes the guitar on the other's head.
B) They discover a mutual, common understanding of music and lay the foundations for a new band.

Answer:

Though there might've been some cases, where the first thing happened, the latter was the case when Mr. Toe and Chris-X met.
What started with an experimental jam-session soon developed into a creative process which quickly brought forth a well-organized songwriter duo. The very different musical influences of them blended into a common base upon which a lot of songs were created within quite a short time.

Shortly after that, the first rehearsals began and the band went on a quest to find opportunities for a live performance. Soon, the first gig date was set in stone:
The spring-festival of the Fichte-Gymnasium (a gymnasium can be roughly compared to a high school).
Mr. Toe was looking for a guest bass player and he found one: Bass genius Cookie joined the rehearsals and the three of them had a great stage debut. Meanwhile, Cookie had found so much enjoyment in playing and hehearsing with the guys that he decided to leave his former band to become a permanent member of the Noobz.
Two more performances followed, this time in front of a bigger audience. In addition, the first recording for the band's first, completely self-financed Demo-CD began.

In the beginning of 2007, drum-god Anoobiz found his way into the band and proved to be an incredibly valuable aquisition. Right at the very first gig with the new linup, the band was able to completely satisfy the audience with a great, convincing performance, which is even more impressive when considering that this happened at a heavy metal-event. A hall full of metalheads, who expected almost everything but a pop-rock band, applauded loudly and congratulated them afterwards, expressing their appreciation of the quality and variety of the songs.
At this moment the band already had a repertoire of roughly 25 own songs.

In march 2007, the demo-CD finally left the pressing plant, the band labeled this first album "Life" and it opened up a new chapter in the band's history.

A second demo-CD was released by the end of 2008. The mini-album "Superman" was signifcantly shorter than "Life", but all songs were carefully chosen and the production value was a lot higher.
On the gigs that followed that year, both CDs sold really well.

In 2009, life caught up with the band members and the different paths each of them started to pursue drove the band apart.
But in 2011, Mr. Toe, Chris-X and Anoobiz decided that it was about time to make some music again and started to meet again for rehearsals.
So at the moment, everything is set in motion for a return of the Noobz, so keep your fingers crossed and it might actually happen...
