Feuerwache Sudenburg, Magdeburg, Germany
14th October 2007
Polarkreis 18

The story of this band began in 1997 when Felix Räuber, Bernhard Wenzel and Uwe Pasora founded a school band with the interest for guitar music. The musical landslide came at the beginning of this millennium from the stadium of learning on how to treat their instruments to the more experimental, inspired by Post-Rock from Chicago and some adventurous. The local success grew. At the same time the guys build up a studio and got into the electronic stuff and did some Laptop Gigs as well. It was during that time, when the final band name was chosen “Polarkreis 18”.

The return to the Live concept was decided, when Philip Makolis and Christian Grochau came to the band in the middle of 2005.POLARKREIS 18 performed with strings and wind players on stage, even the 'Dresdener Schauspielhaus' raised its curtains for a gala concert of POLARKREIS 18. Standing ovations from over 1000 listeners: One can be sure that it's very rare honour for a pop band.

In 2006 the boys climbed up to the second place of the f6 award. What followed was a contract with the label 'Motor Music'. The first self-titled album was released in 2007.The boys were not supported by an arranger or an artistic consultant. The boys not only produced their album independently, they also delivered the whole graphical concept as well as every note on the violin score.

One thing should be clear by now: This is not a simple pop band This is what we call the madness of POLARKREIS 18.The guts to believe in their own art so hard that they are able to achieve the unbelievable. Visual art is nothing that is with the band like a squeamish aunt. It’s more like a cute cousin. The so called 'Sound Movie' that is shown at concerts is a beautiful piece of self-made video art. Those who close their eyes on a POLARKREIS 18 concert will surely miss something, but one can understand everyone who wants to forget this world, when this music starts.

The boys are guests in the old fire station in Magdeburg on the 14th October 2007.This means: Put down your fur caps, away with the earmuffs and take  off your gloves, cause it's getting warm at the arctic circle .Those who don't want to miss the expedition with POLARKREIS 18 should instantly buy their tickets.
