Artist description SIR VEJA - a word, which has often been the reason for some people to cum and therefore has been hushed up. But now the time has come to stop that! Unfortunately the secret can't kept anymore, that these four sparetime-gynecologists with that professional way of committing their trade influence the flow of world's history. But now let's be serious: By mixing Reggae, Surfpunk and a big piece of SKA - by some band members lovely called MonsterGaloppingSkaCore - the four killers from near to Munich even manage to make the most unwilling audience to rock without borders. Sir Veja's multiple style is caused by three song writers, who know how to connect three voices whith driving guitars and rhythm. The band can look back to years of stage experiences, concerning small club gigs with twenty visitors as well as big Open-Air-Festivals with 5000 inspired men and women. Due to the worldwide distribution of the latest CD "Actually It's No Punkrock Anymore...But The Chicks Fuckin' Love Us...SO WHAT?!" by the European labels Vitaminepillen-Records, Cargo-Records and Sonic Rendezvous, SIR VEJA was able to sell albums in countries like USA, Canada, Japan, Argentina, Brasil, Venezuela, and so on. This success encouraged the band to start new Recordings, that will be published in Spring 2003.

Artist History It was in 1995, the spring dropped its face to give way to the approaching summer, when four teenager decided to create a formation called "Sir Veja" near the climes of Deggendorf. The four boys were Andreas Albrecht (guitar, vocals), Florian Saller (guitar, vocals), Mathias Schmucker (bass) and Jupp Philipp (drums). Influenced by a variety of american bands the sound should evolve into a style dominated by surfpunk, wheras there have never been any reasons to claim "Sir Veja" would copy. After the rumour was spreaded like a wildfire that there is loud punk music even in the bavarian forrest, it was inevitable to record the first selfproduced CD called "Nose 'Em All", which arose in 1996 in the band's excercise rooms and was published without support of any record label. In 1998 the bass man Mathias Schmucker war replaced by Ulli "Uhl" Süß, who simultaneously took over the part of the second main singer, the third songwriter and fourth band member. The new guy introduced a lot of new ideas and motivations which affected the impressions of the band's sound enormously. By and by there were more and more influences involved in Sir Veja's setlist, so Ska and Reggae parts expanded increasingly. The unavoidable conclusion was to produce a new album recorded in a studio. That way the CD "Actually It's No Punkrock Anymore...But The Chicks Fuckin' Love Us...SO WHAT?!" was created, distributed by the german record labels "Vitaminepillen Records" and "Cargo Records". Many contributions on compilations and live performances in whole Germany and Austria followed. The CD was selled worldwide, in Countries like Great Britain or USA it even occupied first places in the internet charts. After steadily growing song material, which has considerably increased maturity since the last recordings, it was in 2001 when the preparations for a new album began. Supported by saxophone, trombone, trumpet and organ the recordings were started in February 2002. It is planned to bulish it in winter 2002.
