February 24th 1995 . Ike and the Capers play their very first
show in Berlin.After Ike finishes the last number the four musicians
lay down their picks and sticks grab a drink. It takes them
a few minutes to realize what happened in the last two hours
when they played their music to an entusiastic audience.
Now they had a band! A band with a sound, a band with a name
and it was their turn to look forward , to improve and to play
more. They knew now that this band was something good and made
plans of how to make it better , much better compared to those
days were it all began..... "We always met at record hops
and shows and afterwards continued the party with other friends
in bars or at someone´s apartment.Most of the times there
was a guitar or whatever instrument to make noise with and we
started goofin´around . Ike would often take the guitar
and sing .That was so much fun that we later even brought instruments
to the parties and it became a steady thing.At one of those
parties we met a local DJ and he hired us to do the same thing
on stage in a little Jazz-club were he hosted a record hop."
They started selecting their material more serious and rehearsed
as a trio with two guitars and upright bass.They even had the
chance to record themselves in a studio because Maurice knew
the guy who was running it. Listening to the playbacks they
knew that they wanted drums in the band.They hired Tina because
they knew that she played drums since she was a kid.With the
line-up complete they started to improve way faster just because
the sound became more catchy and it was easier to keep the rhythm
and feel. "Ike got me my first instrument a hollow-body
guitar and I saved all my pay to buy a small amp with echo."New
years eve 1994 they played for the first time on a party at
the DJ´s house and they went down very well .Now it would
not be too long before their first show in public in february
1995. In 1995 they got invited to appear on bigger shows in
Berlin such as a Ray Campi Gig in april 1995.
In may they left the town for their first national show with
Crazy Cavan in Bremen and they soon signed a record deal with
Part-Records , Germany.The Debut-album ´Loud and Silent´became
a huge sucsess all over europe and took them to almost all european
countries such as Austria , Switzerland , Italy , Belgium and
Spain.In 1997 they appeared at the HEMSBY-Rock and Roll festival
as well as the ROCKABILLY-RAVE promoting both their new EP´I´m
not shy to do´ on Part-Records and their second Longplayer
on SFAX-Records,Spain.In june1998 they entered the TAIL-Studios
in Jonköping,Sweden to record nother album called ´Four
Alley Cats´ then took off for a four week US-tour over
California , Washington , Colorado ,Nevada and Arizona.
In 2000 the recording work continued and TAIL released the fourth
Longplayer ´Hello there´.The band went on to perform
on festivals in Germany , France and at the GREENBAY ROCKIN´50s
FEST, Greenbay ,Wisconsin USA in july 2002 (here you can find
videos from the Greenbay show) .The Capers performed at Hemsby
