Strings Like Wings

poster and CD cover design for the rock band Strings Like Wings

computer drawing, 1999

Keith, the drummer of Strings Like Wings, sketched the basis for this design on the back of an envelope one evening in Cafe Harlem, one of Berlin's few jazz venues. The rest, as they say, is history.

Once again, names can be misleading: if "strings like wings" conjurs up an image of a host of harp-playing angels arranging themselves nimbly on the head of a plectrum, forget it. This has to be one of the loudest, meanest rock combos east of Aachen.

If you like loud and mean, this is the stuff for you.

Keith has since left the band, taking his drums and his envelopes with him. All the best Keith - we always pegged you for a blues man anyhow.
