"Reporting a Mirage", the title of the new Gods Of Blitz album, describes the breath-taking history of the band quite accurately. A story of a band that boldly overtook everybody and enjoyed success after success. And a story of hard work and determination. For the last two years, Jens Freudenberg (guitar), Olli Wong (guitar), Jakob Kiersch (drums) and Sebastian Barusta Gaebel (vocals, bass) from the Berlin borough of Kreuzberg have been working like mad. The band was founded in autumn 2004. From their quick signing to Four Music to the recording of their debut "Stolen Horse" to their first tour as support act for Maximo Park only few months passed. There has been a single two-week break. The Gods Of Blitz spend their time rehearsing, writing and playing live. An approach that is reflected in their songs: Extremely tight three-minute pieces of uncompromising rock´n´roll. In the past year, the band played the big stages of all major German summer festivals.
In the past year, the Gods Of Blitz have played about one hundred shows. The fantastic response of the audience was worth all the hard work. It was a year of discovery, collecting experience, finding their place in the business. Now it´s time to bring it all together. The Gods Of Blitz are ready to take off.
"A punch with sophistication" wrote an Australian music magazine in a review of their debut album. An observation that is also true for "Reporting A Mirage". The album is remarkably timeless, tight, entertaining, smart and of international format. The Gods Of Blitz are prepared to take you by storm. There´s so much more to come.

,,Wir alle bewundern den flitterübersäten Akrobaten, der im pudrigen Licht mit klassischer Anmut auf dem Drahtseil balanciert; aber wie viel mehr Kunst gehört dazu, in Vogelscheuchenkleidern auf einem schlaffgespannten Seil den grotesken Betrunkenen zu mimen! Gerade ich sollte das wissen." (Vladimir Nabokov)
Vielen Dank für die Freundschaft und musikalische Grüße aus München!
