Surfer, Skater, Snowboarder and
Musician - that´s the mix!
This Band is founded 2002 in
Nuremberg/Bavaria/Germany. All Bandmembers are Skater,Surfer or Snowboarder an
put this lifestyle into their music. M*Bates are working their way
slowly but surely into the hearts and ears of fans with innovative lyrics and
unmanipulated sound. Their assertive stage presence and songs that make you
wanna subtly “loose it” have presented the band with a large group of
fans in Germany and (due to the M*Bates Internet gig) M*Bates
also in the neighbouring countries.
 With live performances at festivals all around Germany (i.e. with
Bands like: Bananafishbones, The Busters, Die Happy, Angelika Express, Fire in
the attic, Peilomat, Fotos, Itchy Poopzkid, Fury in the Slaughterhouse,
She-male trouble, Judy Bailey) the boys proven that nothing is impossible on
stage. 2007 the M*Bates entered the mainstage of the Sandboarding
Worldchampoinships.

German finals at “Emergenzabis” the biggest European newcomer
challenge. This resulted in a lot more air- time with the local radio stations
(Radio Gong, Star FM, AFK Max, Rock’n Radio). In 2003 the guys recorded
their first “EP” with 6 strong tracks, at Medicine Man Studios.
 The “EP” is called “M’bating is
not a crime” sold through local Music shops. Close to a thousand
CD’s nearly sold in no time flat. This CD was the reason for a nomination
for “Best Alternative” at the 2004 German Rock- and Pop Price and an
invitation to present themselves live at Hamburg’s “Neue Flora”.

in three categories: Best Alternativband - Best Rockband - Best Song 2005. The

magazines. “Prinz” called them in their 05/04 edition the
“future heroes of the rock guitar” with their
“Post-Grunge-College-Rock”. The CD critique of Internet Magazine
”. NOIZE talked about a “promising band, which one should keep an eye
on".
